Taken at home with the help of my lovely wife.... I was going for a sort of caught in the headlights type of look, or just stepping out of the shadows.... and a little bit of a 'lady of the night' look (which in no way reflects on my wife!)
As for the lighting, I shot this with a single flash 550ex sitting outside the door of a room with the door open about 6 inches. Dropped the brightness and lifted to the contrast to get rid of any background. I think it worked well. Also bumped up the colour in the yellow and red channels to give it a warmer more tungsten light feel to it.

This looks like a boudoir portrait. Its a pretty good one too. I think it just needs a little bit of the details honed to make it really a hot photo. Maybe just a little more light too. I would think some nail polish and lipstick and maybe a little bit of a hairlight would really make this an awesome shot.
