I've fostered and rehabilitated rescue dogs and cats in the past, getting them ready to be adopted into their forever homes. My yard doesn't allow it at the moment, but I still liaise with new ( Read more... )

Lucius Malfoy and a canon character of the author's choice using the Horcrux Riddke's diary, and Gellert Grindelwald and a canon character of the author's ( Read more... )

*Purple pimpalicious caddie (with leopard skin upholstery!) approaches... the sound of swishing handkerchiefs, jingling bells and clapping sticks is drowned out by the ever so tasteful strains of La Cucaracha, as the pimpmobile screeches to a halt.

*Pulls up in purple caddie (with leopard skin upholstery!), toots horn that plays La Cucaracha, which cues orchestra to begin intro to "Major-General's Song" from The Pirates of Penzance, totters to soapbox on silver platform boots, accompanied by Severus and Lucius, who have kindly offered their services as chorus (and for some post performance ( Read more... )

You could have knocked me down with a feather when it got the most +1's, and now I'm in the ( Read more... )

*pulls up in pimpmobile - purple caddie (with leopard skin upholstery!) - jumps over door, in superhero fashion, catches silver platform boot on edge and lands...on bum - quickly rights herself, dusting off bum discreetly, swirls gold lame cape dramatically, sets bling mask straight, and totters in dramatic fashion to soapbox*

OI!

I just thought a little reminder of what you're in for if our customer service house elves at hp_caption_comp  aren't kept busy by all your voting......
Remember how I told you they'd snaffled a couple of Witch Weekly's and were going to give each other makeovers when they weren't busy?
