Though during that time she had checked over the pieces one last time and the first was sitting on a stand in the middle of the stage.<br/><br/>When the room had mostly settled down, people seated together with plates and cups in hand, she waited for the chatter to die down to a low murmur. The lights dimmed around the room, leaving the stage brightly lit where the pieces were to be displayed. Aline herself stood in the shadows to the side as well.<br/><br/>The first piece (http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d6/Imagem-2.jpg) displayed a black and white of a woman seated casually in her corset. After giving a brief description of the photo to the audience, she waited a moment to let those gathered better observe before continuing. "We will be starting at $80, are there any takers?" Her eyes surveyed the darkened room before her, waiting to catch a signal for the claiming of the piece...or even the raising of a price perhaps.
