Last week my husband made me my own custom mug. Then we discovered you could also get them as all kinds of different drinking vessels like frosted glasses and travel mugs and a cup that looks black when it’s cold but shows the design as it heats up. Then he ventured into the land of beer steins and mousepads and flip-flops.
And the world was no longer safe.
Now author M. Terry Green—who’s sold over 45,000 copies of her books on tattooing Ink: The Not-Just-Skin-Deep Guide to Getting a Tattoo, published by NAL Trade, and The Tattoo Encyclopedia: A Guide to Choosing Your Tattoo, published by Fireside, and is self-publishing her sci-fi/fantasy series on Olivia Lawson, Techno-Shaman—just sent me a picture of herself in her new T-shirt.
Is she a goddess or what?
UPDATE: And this is a photo-montage that Stu Wakefield, author of the Kindle #1 Best Selling Body of Water, gave me of himself not wearing one of my blog T-shirts:
My god, I love you both.
UPDATE UPDATE: Some people are very small.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: Some people are middling.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: And some people prefer a pure, angelic white. (Although my cat couldn’t pull it off.)
Goddess?! All these years and all I had to do was buy a Victoria Mixon t-shirt! If only I’d known.
So much wasted time.
One can only wonder what new age will dawn when my beer stein arrives.
A goddess with beer.
Natch!
I am, of course, insanely jealous of Stu’s “not wearing one of the blog t-shirt” photos! But if he’s cruising for the goddess title, he should know that I won’t be relinquishing it any time soon.
No, no, don’t be jealous of Stu not having your T-shirt. He’s supposed to be jealous of you.
As I’m sure he is, except I had a long, silly chat with him on Twitter this morning, and now I assume he’s closeted with his beloved manuscript getting some work done.
I’ll send him over here to wrassle you for the goddess title on his break.
We should sell tickets.
I want one! I’ll wear one I promise.
You can get one the same place Terry got hers.
My husband is right now buying us new drinking glasses.
It’s like a blog wildfire running through our house.
Hi Victoria
The t-shirts look super with the logo . When I saw it first I was a bit jumpy. It was perhaps due to the talk of beer, steins, drinking glasses and then I half had the idea if I clicked on the logo it might start up as a U-tube or something. And then I clicked on Terry’s book and saw the interesting girl on the cover. Trouble is it set me off thinking about the japanese girl in ‘Zero’ who had a spider tattoed on her back. The spider was a huge one that looked so real it frightened a lot of young males. Easier to wear a t-shirt, I guess. What a topic of conversation at parties though.
Cheers.
Cleveland, I don’t know how your comment got hung up in my spam filter.
Anyway—here it is! Sorry about the delay.
Thank you for the compliment, sir. I think the T-shirts look pretty fab too. Terry’s the one who thought of it.
And I think you might love Terry’s novel. Although she is an expert on tattoos, her protagonist Olivia Lawson actually has nothing to do with tattoos at all.
Livvy is a shaman of the future who uses virtual-reality technology to travel between parallel worlds in order to retrieve lost souls and reunite them with their human bodies.
Until someone unleashes an ancient Mesopotamian goddess of destruction on the modern real world. . .and Livvy is the only one who can discover who did it and how to send it back.
How very cool and I never knew there was books like that on tattooing. I will let my oldest son know so he can look into them.
Oh, Terry’s the top expert on tattooing in the US. She’s amazing.
Thank you, V! And thanks for your interest, Tiffany. Always happy to answer any tattoo questions. “Think before you ink.”
Oh! And by the way. . .apparently the best-selling author wrassle did take place this past weekend, and we do have results:
“Terry can be the goddess. But I’ll always be the queen.”—Stu
:))
I don’t often laugh out loud when I read things, Stu, but I did when I read that one!
