We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

The phlebotomist who took my blood yesterday (to bring everything together) had a tattoo in what I would consider a "significant" font, heavy and dark and lots of serifs, and what I could read of it said something about happiness in the dark, and I asked to read the rest and it was such a letdown. It was some sort of weird joke, about getting up and turning on the light. People! Don't use a significant font, permanently, on your arm, for a joke!

I can't get a tattoo because of the psoriasis, so I'm jealous of your tattoo having ways, Steph.

"The font used for the musical title in the poster is Trajan, which is an elegant old style serif typeface designed in 1989 by Carol Twombly for Adobe. For the font setting the text "An American Musical", it looks like Gotham Bold Condensed."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Hmmm, I also like Trajan. See? This is why it's a dilemma for me!

Steph, take a look at dafont.com. There's a setting for "custom" at the top of the page, and that lets you type your own text and see what it looks like in any given font.

It's how we decided on the base font for my tattoos. (I say "base", because of course Mr. Loomy customized it for each phrase.)

Excellent. Thanks, Jilli!

Our wings are not tired.

Deena, so much ~ma for your dad. My mom had recurring pneumonia for years. So frustrating and difficult to get rid of in the elderly.

Thanks Laura and Calli. I just heard from Mom that he's doing better.

I really like dafont.com for interesting textual stuff.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Continuing health~ma to your dad, Deena.

This is why I can't get a tattoo. I can't decide on something that's permanent.

All of my text tattoos use the same font (Ink in The Meat) as the base, but Mr. Loomy reworked that font for each of the three tattoos. The font for get out of your own way is slightly different than sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nuc, and if you care to find me look to the western sky is different than both of those.

Now I just have to get him to draw the next tattoo: a candy-filled jack o' lantern.

This is why I can't get a tattoo. I can't decide on something that's permanent.

The same reason Mr. Loomy doesn't have any tattoos.

The tattoo I want to get but never will is a Fall Out Boy lyric: my childhood spat back up the monster that you see.
