## Prompt

```text
Background identity: a fictional retro American pop diner exterior under bright daylight, with a giant vintage roadside billboard, bold {colors} signage, chrome trim, striped awnings, checkerboard curb accents, glossy sunlit pavement, palm trees, wide front windows, pastel-painted curb blocks, and stylized soda-fountain illustrations. Use generalized vintage diner signage only, with no real brand logos or readable brand names. The background should feel colorful, graphic, nostalgic, and unmistakably retro Americana, but it must function as a structured fashion backdrop rather than a travel location.

Composition lock: tight vertical 4:5 fashion editorial composition from a {angle}, not a full-body catalog shot and not a tourist snapshot. The subject fills about 75–85% of the frame. The main visual pressure comes from the raised arm line, shoulder slope, ribcage, waist curve, hip shift, crossed leg line, hands, and face. Cropping at the lower legs, raised hand, or side edge is allowed. Keep the giant diner sign, chrome pole, awning stripes, checkerboard accents, and bold color blocks visible behind her as compressed retro-pop geometry.

Pose lock: the subject must not be seated, crouching, doing a foreground-knee pose, walking, or standing flat. She is in a {pose} beside the diner entrance or awning support. One hip lightly presses toward the chrome pole while the torso arches away from it, creating a long curved line through waist and ribcage. The arm closest to the pole reaches upward and bends over the head, with the hand lightly touching the chrome pole or awning frame above, creating a strong vertical line. The opposite arm crosses low across the waist or rests along the outer hip, keeping the outfit silhouette clean. One leg crosses in front of the other with the front knee softly bent and angled inward, while the back leg extends longer and may be partially cropped. Hips shift sideways, shoulders counter-rotate against the hips, neck stays long, chest open but not exaggerated. The body must read as an intentional fashion editorial S-curve, not a casual lean.

Expression and gaze lock: the body is angled slightly away from the camera, but the head turns back across the shoulder line toward the lens. Chin slightly lowered, eyes locked directly into the camera with controlled retro-editorial confidence. The gaze must feel created by the twist of the body, not simply pasted on. Brows have subtle tension, lips relaxed, expression composed, sharp, and self-possessed rather than cute or blank.

Editorial intent: the chrome pole, awning stripes, and diner signage create vertical and horizontal graphic lines around the body. The pose should contrast those straight architectural lines with a curved human sil
