Judging a Book by its Cover: How Women See Comic Books
This right here? Is why I fucking loved the JossVerse comics and go through so much frustration in my attempts to re-read Uncanny X-Men. Bah. XP
Also? Fuck France. Seriously.
Before any conservative Christians start ranting about the evils of secularism (*cough*Dad*cough*), though? This isn't secularist - this is blatant Islamophobia. Secularism would be banning *all* prayer in public spaces, and only Muslim prayer is banned by this new law.
To close out with some not-RAR!news - the Fall/Halloween BPAL LE's are up for sale. ♥
SONNET D'AUTOMNE
They say to me, your eyes, clear as crystal:
"For you, bizarre lover, what is my merit then?"
- Be charming and be still! My heart, which all things irk,
Except the candor of the animals of old,
Does not wish to reveal its black secret to you,
Whose lulling hands invite me to long sleep,
Nor its somber legend written with flame.
I hate passion; intelligence makes me suffer!
Let us love each other sweetly. Tenebrous Love,
Ambushed in his shelter, stretches his fatal bow.
I know all the weapons of his old arsenal:
Crime, horror, and madness! - pale marguerite!
Are you not, like me, an autumnal sun,
O my Marguerite, so white and so cold?
-- Charles Baudelaire, translated by William Aggeler
Tenebrous Love: a shivering white musk with vanilla-infused white cocoa, amber incense, and dead, dry leaves.
THE NYMPHAE AVERNALES
The nymphs of the Underworld: pomegranate, lilac musk, red rose, red sandalwood, honey, and frankincense.
THE GOLDEN APPLE OF THE SUN
Golden apple with amber, hibiscus, carnation, frankincense, golden spiced tea, ginger, and champaca flower.
THE GREEN APPLE OF VENUS
Sweet green apple, apple blossom, sweet strawberry, pink pomegranate, violet leaf, tea rose, and red sandalwood.
THE GLITTERING APPLE OF THE STARS
Heirloom Malus, ylang ylang, white and blue musks, crystallized vanilla, tiare, frangipani, and bergamot.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT. I would seriously want Samhain too if it didn't have patchouli in it. :/
