If her cape were actually draped over her left arm, she would have quite the Dracula stance. <BR/><BR/>That signature required skills!

I like some of these covers enough that I feel sad that I won't remember them vividly enough.jubjubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00149213213886604843noreply@blogger.com
