TANJA IS MY NEW BEST FRIEND! She and Mimi were the only ones that remembered my half-birthday, even though I nagged about it incessantly. Click here to see the absolutely fabulous birthday card she made for me! I cried tears of joy when I saw it. And now, explanations!

Bob the Pro-Gender-Equality Veela is my original character. I got sick of all the guys swooning over the Veela in GoF, so I created a character for girls and gay guys to adore.

The blonde girl is Tanja. Her pink hair has almost completely faded. She says that she’s the queen of Swussia, because that’s the country that she started on WOFS, Kell’s BBS. It was originally just her nationality (Swussian = Swedish + Russian), but then she founded her own country, and I made a flag.

The tall brunette is me. I claim to look good in hotpants. The backstory for this starts with Tanja’s mother, who brings back hotpants for Tanja whenever she visits the States. Hotpants are really short shorts. Anyway, Tanja’s poll on her blog (which was down today for some reason) asked “Who would you like to see in hotpants”, and she wrote my name as an answer choice. I’m currently in second place. My shirt is one of Tanja’s homemade shirts: a red top with a yellow Communist star.

The drawing also reminds us of National Towel Day, a tribute to Douglas Adams. We see that Bob has already chosen a towel. It’s lovely, Bob.

Tanja, you rule.
