basically, i just used the paintbrush tool, zoomed in superclose, and erased the edges, then used the lasso tool to take out the big chunks. Alternatively I suppose you could just use the lasso to get everything out, but it's not got the same sense of instant gratification.
i tried using the magic wand tool for it, which really could have worked if i had the patience to fiddle with the tolerance, since there's that dark line that goes all the way around her body, but then i would have had to go back, smooth the edges and touch up. too lazy. \o\
