Magical Goings on in the Desperate Neighborhood



Lynn has stepped out onto her porch this morning with a famous jewelry maker. How she's brought him back to life is a dark secret found among her fauxtiques. There seems to be dark magic in her Marakesh.

Not sure if this is gossip but I have always wanted to have interviews with favorite artists in my blog and I've finally launched that idea with an interview with Gina DeStevens.
