I admit that the rules of perspective are not respected (wich is a common
thing when drawing ascii's) but it's not that much of a problem here.

No it shouldn't be: it *could* be.Her right heel doesn't touch the ground
and her feet are making an angle of
....let say....130 degree. Let me put it this way: she's slowly speading
her legs open and she's as good as naked, she's looking at you buddy, maybe
is she trying to tell ya something.
