Sexy sexy hemp panties
It's surely a day for sexy here at Hs, between the Pot au Feu and these gorgeous Enamore panties (£32) and bra (£42) from The Natural Store. Hemp's not just for breakfast anymore: these are featherweight, smooth and creamy as silk (in fact they call it "hemp silk"). Hemp used to be the thing linens were made from, and these undergarments show why a hundred years ago these are what your delicates would've been. Other ethical and sexy pants are available from Greenknickers, which are made from thrift store silk dresses. (Tempts me to pick up a pattern myself and see if I can't convert that old ratty silk bathrobe of mine into something a little sleeker.) (via Style Will Save Us) [GT]

To get Dwayne, a war damaged father, straight, Jenny wore those panties in "Rarity from the Hollow." He fell in love a second time with her and helped his daughter save the universe. Those panties are powerful!

Thanks for letting me mention my novel on your blog last year. I ran across it again today and decided to update you just in case you're interested.
I'm a therapist in a children's mental health program in West Virginia and wrote a science fiction novel, "Rarity from the Hollow." It was published: www.fatcatpress.com as an ebook. A satirical essay about its self-promotion was also published in July by Wingspan Quarterly: www.wingspanquarterly.com. Jag Lall, English comic book artist, did the cover pro bono.
I'm broke and can't afford to promote the novel, so I post anyplace I find that will let me after I get home from work. I'm not complaining because I knew I'd never make much of a salary in the child welfare field. And besides, my work is what inspires me to write.
"Rarity" has received several blurbs, some of which are on the publisher's site. Others are available, including one by Piers Anthony. One scifi/fantasy site gave me a year's free advertising (it normally charges). A review will appear in Baryon Online in the next edition: http://www.baryon-online.com. The best sentences are:
"Eggleton has crafted a novel that deals with social commentary mixed with some eerie science fiction and a strange problem that Lacy has to solve to save the universe with the help of her family and her dog, Brownie. I can almost hear a blue grass version of Metallica while reading this. I expect to see more from Eggleton and Lacy Dawn. Good satire is hard to find and science fiction satire is even harder to find."
-- Barry Hunter
Depending on a schedule, from ten to fifty percent of any profits I receive will be donated to prevent child abuse: Children's Home Society of West Virginia (CHS, Dennis Sutton, Executive Director).
All of the above info is verifiable and I'll provide any additional info on your request. I'm writing to ask that you check it out and to tell others, mention it to your friends, again on your blog, or whatever you think would help promote it. Advertising is too expensive and ebook publishers don't promote the way that traditional publishers have in the past. Unless one has name recognition, actually, few paper publishers today invest much in promotion.
Anything that you can do to pass the word would be appreciated. I'm a novice on the internet and have been stumbling around trying to let people know. Sometimes I've gotten myself called spam, which is especially discouraging. However, since it's an ebook, please caution folks not to share the actual novel because it would be like ripping off the kids. The novel just came out, so I haven't received any returns yet, but I'm going to put anything I get from this project into advertising the sequel. That's what all of the scifi/fantasy sites want -- advertising dollars.
Thanks again,
Robert Eggleton
