I agree that you have to say something about what she's famous for right up front.

The text effect on the main heading just isn't working. It's blending in with the background a little too much and that 3D effect just looks cheesy.

The navigation needs work as well. That staggered arrangement looks odd, probably becuase the words aren't the same length and it's not symmetrical. I would try a left side menu in the same style as the front page (with the underlines), then maybe have those lines meet at a vertical line, wich extends and curves around a bit to frame the content area.

Otherwise, the addition of colours other than yellow would be a good idea. Maybe ad some blocks of red in there or something to give the page a little more structure.

Pretty good start, here are some things to think about:

My first impression was: "What is this site about?" Maybe a little text on the first page letting people know who this chick is.

I think the page is just BEGGING for another color thrown in somewhere. The yellow becomes and eyesore after while.

The main image takes very long to load and is too boxy. Maybe you should use soft eges on the right and bottom where her body ends.

The navigation on the other pages is sort of plain. A more fanciew navigation would go well with the theme of the site. Through in some rollover images with more color.

Maybe add some sort of green somewhere to go with the feel of the west. Maybe some stars or something (Texas=Lone Start State). Well, whatever, I'm sure you can think of something.

Here is an idea:

Have a left side menu with rollover images...
Have the top table cell with colspan=2 and a logo aligned left with a picture of the girl to the right of it. Use more than just YELLOW in your images. Go all out with fancy greens and reds...

Put all the main content for each page in the middle cell...

To do all this, get rid of the margins. It's a design used a lot, but it would be very functional.

That's just an idea, you obviously don't have to use it. Hope this helps.

The layout and imagery is clean. My only suggestions would be to add some type of effect to the navigation (possibility an image-over?) something to liven things up. The logo (up top) almost gets lost. Something needs to be done to make it a bit more obvious.

The site looks great from a visual point of few (other then the above comments).

Good luck,
