Realm of Venus Plug

I have to say, I love the portraits available on this site. What I like even more is that she updates her stuff -- there's stuff here I've never seen before. :-) And her Portrait of the Month is cool, as well (not the showcase, but period portraits.)

OK, so I'm fixated on costuming right now. What can I say, the muse is with me. ;-)

Tagged! 6 Random Facts About Me

1) Several times in my life I have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. I was in the ESL/TRW building when it got shot up by a mass murderer. I got caught in the White Night riot in SF. And I fell into the koala pit at the San Diego Zoo when the viewing platform collapsed.

2) The mole-like bumps I have on my left neck and shoulder area are nerve cells that moved to the surface when I was an itty-bitty fetus.

3) My neck and shoulder areas are very sensitive. I've always wondered it that was related to #2.

4) I am more musical that I let on. I played violin and french horn in middle and high school, and I've had some vocal training. In fact I like to sing, but I'm *super* out of practice.

5) I own 2 rifles. Back in the day I used to enjoy shooting targets out at the range. I haven't shot since 1990, I'm sure.

6) For most of my adult life I've fantasized about historic dancing, especially waltzing. Show stopper has always been lack of a partner that wanted to dance. I've had bad experiences being ignored at Gaskells, and that hasn't helped. To be blunt, I'm tired of men who don't dance.

I tag anyone who wants to play. :-)
