This is not fat!

This is not even unhealthy or unattractive. I am taken aback that the media is making comments about Tyra Banks' body. Uh...hello...she's flippin' gorgeous! I was equally appalled at comments made about the Dutchess of York way back when. What's wrong with being a size 14 or 16?

When did "beautiful" become synonimous with "stick?"

Grrrr!

So terrible...I can't look away...

I had to buy the domain name www.necropants.com. I had to do it. Necropants. Cool, or just plain wrong? I haven't forwarded the domain name anywhere yet, but I will :)

As I work on my novella for the Liquid Silver Books Vampire Anthology "Of Flesh and Blood" I realized that my story takes place in Iceland. Home of the necropants. My hero is a Draugr (an Icelandic vampire), the heroine is a tad bit of a wanton American living abroad, and the villain is someone who would wear necropants for more than just sh*ts and giggles...

Necropants. Who knew? (This link works, and leads to a big "ick" factor)

For sh*ts and giggles

I give good readings. Norse Tarot readings. The cards are my own design. I've been doing readings as "party favors" for 35 years. I've been doing readings quite successfully on the Liquid Silver forum for quite awhile, too. When I was 13 years old I could have gone professional, but my mother, in her infinite wisdom, protected me from becoming a local media victim. She is a retired psychic minister. I grew up around this stuff! She taught me to share my gift and never to charge exorbitant amounts. I've been charging $5.00 for twenty years, or just doing that "party favor thing."

I'm going to start offering personal, full readings via email to my blog visitors. Not three-card quickies like I do on the forum.

$5.00 per question (one question per reading, please). No "life and death" questions. Remember, readings are supposed to be fun! You can pay by paypal or you can buy one of my books, forward me the receipt at darragha @ gmail. com (no spaces) and I'll accept that as payment.
If you want a three-card quickie for free, ask at the forum :)

Thank you, and I look forward to tossing the cards for you!
