 Now, this is definitely not a blog post you can quickly glance at to figure out what its purpose is. 
The title of the blog is 'Where have all the surfing cowboys gone?' and we can see where this has come from in the image above, The building the model is posing in front of has this written on its 
wall. It then starts to get a little bit confusing as you continue to scroll down the blog and come across a passage of text referring to a 'Danger Dress' which leads me to my next point, what has the outfit got to do with surfing cowboys? as to me it looks more like a tennis outfit and that is exactly how I have portrayed it, so what is the blogger trying to portray? it's very unclear as to the meaning of this photo shoot.

Here is a second image from the same blog. The title still is very unclear to me for its meaning or what part it is playing within this post. However, the reference to a 'Danger Dress' is now more relevant than it was within the post above, it now looks like your everyday fashion blogger photo or a less studio more street image to promote a brand of clothing. 
Overall I don't exactly know what the blogger or writer is trying to tell us or what the story is behind this piece, I can't pin point it's relevance so I have simply written a review on how I have perceived this post to be.
