I agree on Scandanavian Gothic, but it’s judge’s choice.
I was not aware of the phenomenon, but the label in itself had a powerful evocative flair that I enjoyed.
On the other hand, I agree there must be a certain bias (at least in my case) where the one posting the picture expects a specific response and tends to overlook certain reactions.
For the sake of the game, please post the next picture because needscoffee seems to be missing and you are the runner-up.

Kodak x-ray film–let it bring out the inner you."
Observer:
“Gee fellas, y’know, I wanted to meet a girl not because of her looks, but because of what she has on the inside. Now that I’ve seen it, I’m not so sure.”
Candidates were thoroughly tested before they could join Captain Kirk’s crew.
The finalists of the beauty pageant were neck in neck until the judges decided to use more objective methods.
The prototypes of see-thru clothing were a bit too good.
Probably not the best people to promote the use x-ray vision instead of visible light.
Yes, they’re peaches, and no bones about it.
Leave it to science to spoil a good old show.
