I was just screwing around with one of those professional modify your photograph to improve skintones and things programs. I did one of me, too, but the shot of Deirdre was a much better one to begin with. It’s got a thing against eyebrows, apparently. But I’d always kind of wanted to try that with the photo of Deirdre, anyway, because it’s a good one to start with.
upcoming week-long blog event!
(This is not an April Fool’s joke. :)) Starting Monday, April 4th, I’ll be guest-starring over at Faith Hunter‘s blog, as Jane Yellowrock and Beast interview Joanne Walker. Throughout the week, we’ll be posting story snippets, and on Friday, April 8th we’ll be giving away three prizes on to readers who have commented on both Faith’s and my site over the course of the week.

If I hadn’t been busy trying to finish writing a…
not the briar patch!
I got new glasses (again, yes, but they were real cheap! seriously. like $11!), and Ted, upon seeing them, said, “Those will be great with your pinup dress.” That was, in fact, much of why I’d chosen the ones I had, so I was delighted. Then he said, because I have several pairs of blue glasses, “Now you need to get a blue dress!” O NOES BRER BEAR NOT THE BRIAR PATCH! Because my glasses are really mostly teal, not blue proper, these appear to be my choices: The Sparrow,…
