Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Alexander Brook's illustrations for Modess booklet 'How Shall I Tell My Daughter?', 1954
One that I found intriguing was this booklet from 1954, "... Published for mothers by Personal Products Corporation, Milltown, New Jersey, makers of Modess".
This was one of many such booklets advertised in women's magazines over the years, so moms could send away for information to help them explain the process of menstruation to their growing daughters.
What struck me here, however, was the overwhelmingly somber tone to the illustrations in this particular edition, the work of Alexander Brook, "... one of America's foremost painters."
Divorced of context, these painted illustrations are more than a little bit creepy.

Great Halloween costume: Two Headed Baby Demon
One body, two heads, and ready to FEED. One of the creepiest babies we've seen in a long time. Latex half-torso prop can also be used as a puppet. Includes blanket.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Not really an outdoors type of person, though I guess I'm closer to being an ocean person than a mountain person.(Even if I did have to go to the next state to see the ocean when I was growing up. More often I went to Ocean Beach, which is actually on the Sound.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Wow that went on and on. I like big skies and rolling hills and rugged mountains and big cities. I prefer my water to be chlorinated and in concrete or tile.
Ion, I am eating at my fav place tonight and can't wait. Fingers crossed I do not get a call in the middle about an explosive child.

At least he'll have plenty of company in the "Please don't kick the shit out of me" corner of the playground.
Fingers crossed I do not get a call in the middle about an explosive child.
Peaceful dinner ~ma to you.

Anyone know where my colander is?
Ha! I just got a call from my sister, 500 kms away, asking me if I know where my mother keeps the scooper for the litterbox. Then I had to stay on the phone while she cleaned the cat litter.

What kind of food is it?

I don't like this month. I need a vacation and a recharge of something.
