This skin is clearly Chinese inspired. Everything from the chop stick hat - which the Chinese women use to lift up their hair - to the symbolism on the shirt, to her weirdly small feet, which are referred to as "Lotus feet" or "foot binding". This was actually a fashion practice in China some hundred years ago, where the daughters of wealthy families would undergo painful reconstruction of their feet by breaking the toes, and wrapping the feet with wet bandages, which they would wear for a day, then repeat the process all over again the next day for several years until the feet was so tiny, they could wear baby sized shoes. This was a tradition for hundreds upon hundreds of years, a fashion statement of the wealthy. If a woman's feet was regularly sized, it was a sign of lower class, whereas if a woman's feet was small, it was a sign that she was wealthy. Wealthy women never worked in ancient China. Men got turned on by small feet, the smaller the better. It wasn't until 1912 that the Chinese government issued a ban on the horrid practice of foot binding, though some women who underwent the procedure are still alive today, living with the severe damage and disabilities it caused them.

It's a very clever homage to the Lotus I must say.
