“Beside her, her husband could only splutter, and he stopped even that when she half turned to flash him a smile – the instinctive, brilliant smile of a woman who knows what feeble creatures men can be. You couldn’t learn to smile like that. It was something a woman either knew the minute she was born, or never knew at all.”
Cornell Woolrich, The Fantastic Stories of Cornell Woolrich, “I’m Dangerous Tonight”
I wanted to pass this one on to Harper, really. She lives up to her handle, and knows so much more about poetry than I do, or is just plain better at researching it than I am. Our Fearsome — that is our Fearless Leader, however, insisted that I write this one since I shot the photos. And, for once, I know a little bit about Welsh poetry — a very little bit, but I have a taste for Dylan Thomas.
One of the women on the “evening shift” at a local House of Scarlet Happiness ….
… discovers that she has someone new on the shift with her ….
And it does not make her happy, as “co-workers” cut into her profit margin ….

Ain’t these tears in my eyes

This is as much a note to myself, so I don’t forget what to do again, lol. But, as you can see here, I had a bit of a rezz problem earlier. I’ve had this before myself, and it’s purely a client problem, nothing to do with Second Life. A helpful visitor said she saw my torso just fine.
This can be fixed by clearing the physical cache on your hard drive. Go (in Firestorm) to Preferences / Network and Files / Directories. On the Cache Location line, click Clear Cache, and restart the client. That should solve problems quite nicely.
Hope this helps someone!
From you have I been absent in the spring,
When proud-pied April, dressed in all his trim,
Hath put a spirit of youth in everything,
That heavy Saturn laughed and leaped with him,
“The light teaches you to convert life into a festive promenade.”
