Phogirl,
Your sexysmokers gallery brings to mind the challenges of designing galleries that appear on freehosts. Freehosts' header and footer advertising sometimes throws off the marketing focus you try build in the gallery itself. One approach is to use a table background color field that "centers" the users attention to the gallery and its marketing message. Another approach, as your gallery shows is to use a title field [graphical or text]. My suggestion is to "enclose" the gallery into a table with a two tone color -- one for table background and one for cells. This should "cut out" or separate the gallery from the rest of the page and its freehost ads.
You have good text but I would extend it more. Write out the reasons you think [or your research has shown] why people like women who smoke? List these reasons out... e.g. mysterious, sophisticated, sultry, glamorous, etc and weave it to your description of the girl and the site. Or, as you have already done, expand on the analogy between smoking and oral sex, tell a story, pretend that the girl on the gallery is on a phonesex line...what would she say about smoking to get the customer off?
Hope this helped a bit and let us know how it goes!
