Sorry I can't help you with marketing... But on the usability side, please put the like/dislike buttons in a fixed position. It is very easy to misclick as they move around with every photo!
New (fixed) design is online. Let me know if this doesn't fix the issue.
Yes. This is a pet peeve of mine, too. I've got an instagram-style comment drawer that I'm working on which will fix the position of the action buttons.
I like where you are going with this. I think the design is good enough for now, once you fix the issues with image caching and button placement.
For these type of sites to work, however, you need some sort of instant gratification. After clicking on thumbs up or down there has to be a small indicator on the next page of what the average score for the previous image is. Once you add that I promise engagement will go up.

Thanks for the advice. I've been working on facebook integration with comments. I'll add this in at the same time.
There is often a delay before the next photo loads. However, the photo does seem to resize slightly in anticipation of the next photo. This caused me to vote the same way for possibly a different photo I couldn't see because I thought it was just another upload of the previous photo.
Ah, thanks. Working on some design that will fix that (edit: CDN will improve this, too - images are presently hosted directly from S3). Part of it will be to prefetch the next image, part will be a comment drawer with rate buttons and a "social bar" that will remain in the same position between image change.
I do like the idea a lot, but maybe have an optional comment box to add why the voter liked/disliked it? There are a few photos I saw where I thought "this would be a great outfit were it not for X"
Per other comments, that's coming in the next update.
... now if I could only figure out how to get people to upload.

My end-vision is something like the bastard child of the WAYWT posts at /r/malefashionadvice, pinterest, and hot-or-not.
Maybe I need another few iterations before I start trying to market?
