Ghosts of Easter Past

tn_grrl made my day by reminding me of the time, years ago, I costumed as Bunnidoll (one of my furry characters) for a kids' Easter Egg Hunt. Turns out that for years afterwards, Mel's niece (one of the little girls at the party) would insist the Easter Bunny was a GIRL bunny to anyone who dared to say otherwise. :)

Awwww....It's kind of nice to think how in some other girl's mind and memories, I WAS the REAL Easter Bunny for her. :) I suddenly feel all warm and good again about my geeky days in furry fandom.

LOL...I can just hear my daughter teasing back "What? YOU wore your "hooker bunny" outfit to a KIDS party?"



No, Hannah, I believe I'd sufficiently toned down the Lolita look with a cute easter egg print pinafore over her short dress, solid black leggings, and big furry bunny feet instead of high heels.

Book #32

32) Weise, Jillian. THE COLONY: a novel. Soft Skull Press: NY 2010.

Anne Hatley is in need of a reprieve from the drudgery of work and an increasingly tedious relationship. She accepts an invitation to the nation’s largest research colony. Anne feels fine the way she is, wearing a prothetic limb, and she strives to maintain her resolve under pressure from her peers and from doctors eager to pioneer an experimental procedure, which would make her the first patient to generate a new leg. Meanwhile, she falls into a reluctant romance with the rakish Nick, possessor of the “suicide gene”; befriends Charles Darwin, who is on site digging through the eugenics archive; and attempts to come to terms with her first love. The Colony is the story of one young woman struggling to accept who she is, and who she will become. But it is also a novel that mines some of the most polarizing issues of our time—among them, medical ethics, body image, and genetic engineering. (from Amazon synopsis)


Quirky and interesting but not quite as much so as I had hoped.
