This morning it was fried chicken (oh yeah… hot grease and bone in! Move over, Colonel Sanders!), rice, [...]

She rubbed elbows with other royalty, magical people, and even a few villians. There were a number of Peter Pans, Pirates, Princes, Princesses, Dorthys, various Disney Princesses, the Red Queen [...]

I am part of an online community; gathering of diverse and motley assorted folks who support actresses Crystal Chappell and Jessica Leccia among others. I was intrigued by the writing done for the characters and the performers. It was so well done that it swept me off my feet. I’m more of a scifi [...]
