Note: this storyline is set in the Tranzie Universe; the protagonist is biologically male but looks anatomically female.
Daisy Miller is an eighteen year old transsexual living with her parents in Chamberlain City. Like many children born in the region, she is afflicted with TISM (Toxically Induced Sexual Morphism), a rare glandular disorder which rewrites the Y-chromosome in young males.
Having a hyper-feminized appearance, Daisy has dreamed of being a runway model since early childhood. During a visit to Courtland Plaza, she is granted the opportunity to fulfill her dreams when she's offered one hundred dollars to model lingerie in the main concourse.
The fashion parade is an overwhelming success, and Daisy is spotted by a local talent scout who recruits her for Naughty And Funny, a 'hidden camera' show specializing in practical jokes, most of which involve pretty young women in their underwear.
While Daisy's parents disapprove of the series' risque content, they are impressed by the paychecks she brings home as she quickly becomes a fan favorite. With her popularity on the rise, Daisy is offered a contract by The Feathertouch Lingerie Corporation, finally achieving her life-long ambition of being a catwalk model.
If I ever get round to writing this story, I plan to illustrate it with pictures of Daisy in her sleek, satin undies (as suggested by the images posted here). Both the story and the illustrations would be 'spicy' rather than pornographic.
Question: in your opinion, would it be appropriate to include flashbacks to Daisy's childhood, describing how her interest in women's undergarments developed during her transition from male to female? Don't worry, I won't be illustrating those sections.

Sounds delicious
Tracy, I'm a fan of your writing and this outline sounds like it would be another delightful story. Of course, your accompanying illustrations would be very welcome sights too. I hope you find the time to write this. Anxious to read it.
Hugs,

Synopsis
What you've presented is not a true outline, but a synopsis. An outline would present parts of the story as salient points of the story in a plot line progression and is used to guide the author when writing the story.
Outlines don't work for me because working through the plot line uses up my muse's creativity and I'm left to fill in the blanks by myself. Truth is, I'm not a very good writer and can only produce interesting work on the fly. The same goes for public speaking. If I write out a speech before giving it, it comes across as a dead rendition that simply get read allowed. Better that I thoroughly study the subject of the speech and simply give myself a starting point and then launch into it extemporaneously.
Use of a synopsis in writing does work. I have a file on my computer labeled "Story Ideas". In that file are some synopsises and when I feel the need to write and don't have a current spark for my muse to explore, I sometimes go there and produce a story.

Story outlining
A real outline goes something like this:
1. Initial situation - problem to be solved is discovered
A. Scene
B. Scene
2. Test Crisis - protagonist demonstrates competence/luck/resources
A. Scene
B. Scene
3. Midstory Nadir - things get really bad, true problem revealed
A. Scene
B. Scene
4. Desperation Crisis - protagonist risks it all - and loses!
A. Scene
B. Scene
5. Climax - resolution of main probems thru heroic effort
A. Scene
B. Scene
6. Epilog - tie it in a bow
The above is the structure of almost every movie you've ever seen. :) Novels are frequently much more complex but most have this basic structure with elaborations.
