Dread Mama Back Shot February 1st 2009

and YES, it's all my real hair!

My etsy shop:



NOTE: if your pics and/or profile and/or groups and/or favorites and/or galleries consist of mostly booty-wah and/or internet nasty, I will most certainly block you. For a variety of reasons things of this sort creep me out and make me feel bad in a substantial way. The reasons have nothing to do with you, so please choose to understand my blocking is nothing personal, but rather a way to protect and buffer my psyche. Also, I have minor children, my own and children of relatives and friends, who look at my pics and can see who has favorited or commented. So, I cannot have any of my pics linking to pornography. Art-type nudity is ok, but porn, NO. Thanks for understanding. My flickr photostream is rated G! ^_^

    "I am very happy that I "met" trula through flickr. She's definitely an inspiration to many people. I always find her positive. I'm always reading her blogs :) If I lived in the states, I'd definitely want to have a cup of coffee with her!"

    "I am very impressed by Trula! What an interesting profile she has! She is multi talented and knows many languages. She is one of the few members of Flickr that I take time to see what's new with her. Yes, I am really impressed by you Trula! And one of these days, when I will meet you, I will give you a big warm hug and I think we will have a lot to discuss about books! :-)"

    "Nome do Testemunho: DESTINATÁRIO

    E leio versos onde alguém dirige
    nobre afeição a alguém que nem conhece.
    Descreve anseios, busca, sonha
    e insiste
    em crer que alhures
    outra alma existe
    capaz de ouvir-lhe
    e de entender
    todo o sentido do seu verso triste.

    Por um momento chega-me a ilusão
    de ser este objeto de procura.
    E creio que a mensagem feita assim
    é destinada inteira para mim.

    Pedaço de ilusão...
    identificação...
    efêmera, fugaz.

    A vida toma sentido:
    Eu existo!
    Tenho um momento
    um momento de paz.

    Abraços."
