I was asked to post some new pictures of Lenore, and quite frankly she'd be furious if she knew I hadn't been showing the internet how beautiful she is. ;) So you asked, you shall receive

I do know the comic book (someone gave it to me as a gift because of Lenore!), but she's actually named on the comic book's inspiration: Poe's "The Raven," where he mourns for his lost love Lenore ("the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore, nameless here forevermore"). I've loved that poem since I was 8 years old and saw it on The Simpsons Halloween Special (here if you've never seen it), and so my dad bought me a book of Poe's work and he'd read it to me (totally appropriate for an 8 year old :P). I'm a geek about Poe's work, especially his poems, and I've been known to go to some extremes in the past (on a family road trip, my dad brought the book he got me as a kid and we read The Raven over Poe's grave in Baltimore). My dad is also in a never-ending quest to get Lenore to say "Nevermore!" :P But basically I thought the name was extremely appropriate given the context, and I think it fits her wonderfully. :)

But yeah, I actually plan on getting another linnie at some point, and I'm hoping for a cremino female so I can name her Annabel Lee. :)
