classic photo by Annie Leibovitz of Diamanda Galas, known for such compositions as "Wild Woman with Steak Knives for solo voice"
There's also a version where she's posing as a mascot for the Army of the Martyrs of the Flaming Cross.
And of course she has served as inspiration for following generations of musicians... though when you actually put your cruxed self right on the album cover some artists will consider mass-marketability and go a bit overdressed for the occasion ...

To me, those floral mini-loincloths seem very sexy, and serve to draw attention to what they're concealing - which the crowd in the Colosseum, and everyone here, knows perfectly well anyway! I think there is some Classical evidence for otherwise naked women in the arena for whatever purposes being adorned with flowery mini-garments - dancers certainly would have been, but dressing even those destined to die in that way might have been a kind of mockery - though, as I've often said, Romans may not have been much bothered about the girls feeling ashamed, but they do seem to have had a superstitious fear that seeing female genitals would cause themselves some harm.

Couldn't have said it better myself. :)

I remember reading somewhere that men were sent to the arena dressed only in animal skins as a sacrifice to Saturn, the God of Time, while women were decorated with flowers as a sacrifice to Ceres, the Goddess of Fertility. It might have been "The Way of the Gladiator" by Daniel Mannix.

The Romans were very hypocritical in condemning human sacrifice by foreigners while practicing it on a scale the Aztecs would be jealous of.

lol Speak for yourself. I have always loved crux images that have flower crowns over thorn crowns and/or flower aesthetics. I like to call it "adding beauty to the macabre."
In fact, in the near future when I start doing crux plays myself I plan on adding flower crowns in addition to thorn crowns. I just like them better.
And if its total exposure you want, how many hundreds if not thousands of nude crux images are their already? lol

If you use roses, the same plant can provide the flowers and the thorns. To the garden, for Science!
