Another series of pics posted to Flickr. These are the edited highlights, the rest of the series is definitely worth a look!
And another Admin fave! This one is in the Flower Factory group weekly theme: Floral Prose and the admin made it a personal fave, too.

** Because if you were, you’d be right. Since I turned back to the light side, my literary brain has turned to mush. It’s been...

For a while now I’ve been working with some incredibly talented and dedicated people as they researched the market, perfected the ingredients and finally brought Yes™ a revolutionary new intimate lubricant to market. The reason it’s is revolutionary is because Yes™ is entirely organic, uses only natural plant products and matches your body’s natural environment much more closely than chemical lubricants. If that sounds too good to be true, Yes™ don’t pull any punches when they describe why it really is so much better for you...
