Blessed Winter Solstice!

(Photo of Stonehenge sunrise 2003)

Even though the sun was not up in the sky, visitors to the UK landmark, Stonehenge, still caught a lovely glimpse of shades of blue and orange during 2008's observance of Winter Solstice.

According to the UK's Guardian, "Hundreds of druids, pagans and tourists braved the gloomy weather to gather at Stonehenge on Sunday morning to celebrate the winter solstice. The mystical stones attracted a crowd of 1,900 people, with some dressed in cloaks and robes, to see sunrise at the prehistoric site in Wiltshire."

The Winter Solstice marks the shortest day of the year. The return of the Sun on this auspicious morning is also still celebrated by many people around the world!

Big Hugs & Many Blessings,

A Memory on Record - holiday short within the Dark Moon series by Adrianne Brennan Winter Solstice marks the longest night of the year, a time for honoring many different holiday traditions. For vampires, observing the day when the sun shines the least is a sacred event. Finding Jesse, Amanda's lover and Sire, the right gift for the Winter Solstice brings her great frustration this holiday season. A treasured memory provides the ideal solution to her predicament. Despite all that has changed in her life, can she uncover a way to show him how much she cares? Excerpt: “You’re crazy,” Jesse whispered in between trailing fevered kisses down Amanda's neck. “I hope we don’t get caught.” “In Central Park past midnight?” Feeling bold due to wine and holiday spirits, she reached for the bulge in his pants. With a gentle hand she massaged his swollen member. Wow, he’s rock hard. He uttered a low groan, his lips pressed against her neck, and Amanda smiled. They lay tucked away in trees and frozen bushes with snow falling around them, and she was doing her best to tempt him into having hot sex in the great outdoors. Every Winter Solstice should be celebrated like this.

BYE-BYE, BETTIE



"I want to be remembered as the woman who changed people's perspectives concerning nudity in its natural form." Bettie Page told the Los Angeles Times in 2006.

Bettie Page, whose 1950s fetish & cheesecake photos have made her an unforgettable icon, has passed away at the age of 85 in Los Angeles.

Ms. Page's trademark jet-black bangs and curvy figure—clad in slinky lingerie, bondage gear or other thematic costumes, if clad in anything at all—were fixtures on the pages of men's magazines from 1951 to 1957. And, Playboy's Hugh Hefner picked her to be Playmate of the Month in January 1955.



Although she gave up modeling in 1959, her youthful, provocative images will live on in photographs and short films.

Bye bye, Bettie ...we won't forget you!

Thanks & Hugs,

Blurb:

Amanda, graduate student and devoted follower of the Greek god Apollo, is intrigued when she meets Jesse, a handsome young scholar who shares her love of both the classics and the occult. He quickly sparks her interest--and ignites a dark flame of passion between them. Together, they embark on a shadowy path that leads Amanda straight into Jesse's scintillating underworld of vampires, magick, and secret societies.

Little does Amanda know she is about to fulfill a legacy that began over thirty years ago and ended in tragedy. Can she learn the truth about her identity in time to help those whom she has grown to care about, and find happiness in her new life with Jesse?

Blood of the Dark Moon combines the classic eroticism of vampires with a touch of modern sensual romance and occult intrigue.
