Oh, Simon, you didn't have to do that, but thank you so very much! Having another set of eyes look at my stuff helps a lot.
It does look like an EMD penalty is in play. Now keep in mind I always ranked #1 for my chosen search terms throughout these Penguin and Panda updates. I didn't even know what an EMD was until late last night. It's good to get some confirmation from someone in the business.
It's a 14 year old site. So, I am removing every one of those free sites that look "doorway-y" and reassessing the archives which are the main reason behind that 5% keyword density.

Would it make more sense to move gallery pages into a blog? I submitted
Fuckable Booty last year and was quite pleased with the results.
Now I am off to dinner. Thanks again Simon. Best of luck everyone.
