Some of you know I run a few sites with pretty pictures of pretty people, but it's been left untended a bit recently. No more. There's no big recode or redesign, just a rededication:
To getting the content flowing freely to provocateuse.com once again. Stop by and enlarge your collection of pretties--stop by and do the same for mine.
The blonde heroine of the campy television series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," as well as other works by director and writer Josh Whedon, will be the focus of a three-day academic conference held at Henderson State University beginning Friday.
Among the papers: "Buffy and Feminism," "Buffy and Identity," "Gender Stereotypes and the Image of Domesticity in 'Firefly,'" "'Firefly:' The Illusive Safety of Big Damn Heroes" and a Durand favorite by a British scholar, "Hero's Journey, Heroine's Return: Buffy, Eurydice and the Orpheus Myth."
If you are attending the F2F, I am collecting the arrival/departure/contact info/credit card numbers/blood type for the attendees. Please email your info to aimeeconat at yahoo dot com.
Don't forget to include your social security number and mother's maiden name! We need it for, um, planning purposes. Or maybe seating arrangements? I forget, but it's really really important.
Attention F2F attendees:
I've set up a survey to see what kind of food folks want for Prom. Click Here to take survey. I'll leave it up until noon my time on Friday, the 13th, so I can give it to the Great Dane within their 7 day notification period.
Hey Buffistas! It's that time of year again -- time to consider making a donation for board upkeep.
As you know, we don't charge anyone to read or post here. But it still costs money to run the site! We've been going strong here for nearly six years thanks to generous donations from all of you people. Regular posters, occasional posters, and lurkers all contribute to keep us up and running, and I thank all of you!
So, if you have some spare cash lying around, why not send it our way? No amount too large, or too small.
You can send it via paypal to donations at buffistas dot org, or email me if you want to mail a check. (The donations address will come to me, as should any other email address you might have for me.)
Thanks!
