I'm not really sure where to put this, because it's definitely not a request. Just an idea I'm putting out there for anyone who's interested. Mods, feel free to move this thread to wherever you feel is more appropriate, if necessary.
Someone should take a crack at f/f, or m/f, or */f drawings of female personifications of nations, concepts, and so on, being tickled. There are literally tons of them, most of them barefoot in togas and such. And they're almost always young and beautiful. I've found quite a few searching around:
CONCEPTS
Lady Liberty (with the upraised arm as in the statue, or the bare-breasted, barefoot French version)

In addition to the wiki pages I've provided, I'm sure you can find lots of reference pics by doing a google image search for any of their names. Any thoughts?
