Breathtakingly Magical and Mystical... and Billy the Kid

Billy the Kid is looking Old West dapper.

Sunday into Monday meows, my darling Big Cats... the tame prairie, home of the Tomatoes Gone Wild... sorta... the Kougaress discovered about ten rebel tomato plants in various stages of growth... from tiny to a couple of feet with beginning blooms... yowlsa, it’s late in the season, that is, if you’re a regular gardener type... with the cool spring, and no sign of any gone-wild tomatoes, this Big Cat had given up on her last year’s rebels seeding any new plants... well, she was wrong... and, hopefully! There will be tomatoes.

Breathtakingly Magical and Mystical ... in the deep darkness after midnight, when there was nary a light source, and the sky was overcast, the few fireflies out and about looked like glowing ephemeral beings... their slow beckoning flashes of fairy-brilliant light held this Big Cat in utter thrall...it was another world, one that was breathtakingly magical and mystical.

Billy the Kid image sells for more than $2M

By COLLEEN SLEVIN, Associated Press – Sun Jun 26, 12:57 am ET

DENVER – What is believed to be the only surviving, authenticated portrait of Billy the Kid went up for auction in Denver and sold for more than $2.3 million.

The tintype on Saturday evening went to private collector William Koch at Brian Lebel's 22nd Annual Old West Show & Auction, where auction spokeswoman Melissa McCracken said the image of the 1800s outlaw was the most expensive piece ever sold at the event

A 15 percent fee was tacked on to the bidding price, making selling price more than $2.6 million.

Organizers had expected it could fetch between $300,000 and $400,000.

The tintype is believed to have been taken in 1879 or 1880 in Fort Sumner, N.M. It shows Kid standing with his hand resting on a Winchester carbine on his right side and a Colt revolver holstered on his left side.

THANKS! To everyone who stopped by Six Sentence Sunday at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS. Lots of good reading on the participating bloggies, and this Big Cat couldn’t get to them all.

The Kougar discovered while checking out AllRomanceEbooks today ~ allromanceebooks.com ~ that her superhero menage, HER INSATIABLE DARK HEROES, has what they call a *Bestseller Star* ... who knew? However, this good news is MUCH appreciated. Much!

Mistletoe or Fig Leaf

Pic from Coast to Coast am ~

Inventor Jeff Buske has developed underwear that purportedly protects its wearer from revealing too much during airport scans. The strategically placed fig leaf-shaped metallic panels block x-ray scanners but do not set off metal detectors.

Evening purrs, my holiday-sassy KitKats... here’s a bit underwear cheer just for Monday and the season... what a scrumptious color-changing sunset on the tame prairie today, and truly indescribable... neon fiery pinks and oranges beneath dark indigo clouds... still warmer... omygosh does Mr. Sun go down fast as we head toward Winter Solstice, 2010.

The tail-switching holiday moment: Mistletoe or Fig Leaf, that is the Holly Jolly question.

Life Experiences Turn the Pages
by Dawne Prochilo

How many authors use personal experiences in their writing? How can the reader determine which are personal experiences of the author or a fabrication of the author's imagination?

***The Kougar’s comment from a conversation on the SIREN-BOOKSTRAND private author loop which revolved around vampires... old-fashioned or the modern alpha.***

Regan, that would be interesting! [It would be interesting for someone to take the original Dracula personage and have him go to battle with a modern day vampire.]

You're right about the revenge/retaliation and poetic justice aspect of those Dumas' stories. Deliciously cold and perfect, often. And, really, I think as a culture we've all become too accepting of bad or evil behavior with no real consequences. There are more innocents being punished currently, than those who commit horrific crimes and cruelly take advantage of folks. ~imo~

And, in my stories I don't leave out the revenge, the retaliation or the poetic justice.

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 700 ~

Sylva met Zeke’s thrust with the rise of her hips. Slower than slow, she undulated, in rhythm with the long lazy pumps of his cock. “Oh, cowboy, you’re driving me crazy in all the right ways.” He framed her face between his palms, his fingers stabbing into her hair. God, Sylva loved the way he handled her. Their gazes fused for a several moments, and Sylva witnessed his love for her. She saw his insatiable passion. For her. She saw the pleasure she was giving him. His lips brushed hers, even as he plunged deep, and she sang a moan.

Zeke had never felt so dang relaxed, yet so tense with his carnal pleasures, as he slow-danced his shaft in and out of his woman. The taste of her lips, his cock buried inside her, her sweet passionate moan, Zeke kept his rhythm. He stroked the length of her sheath with such ease, it somewhat surprised him. What didn’t surprise him, was the stinging bliss taking over his body, rising from the base of his cock like fiery lava. “Crazy,” he growled. “Darlin’ mine, I’m crazed.” His wife smiled, rolling her hips higher in concert with each of his thrusts.
