Portrait of a woman in pain; an emotion so many of us experienced today. Thank you for your courage, Dr. Ford. ”sine virtue omnia sunt perdita” (without courage all is lost) Perhaps Alice Cooper said it best... ”Man got his woman to take his seed, He got the power - oh She got the need She spends her life through Pleasing up her man She feeds him dinner or anything she can She cries at night too often He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all Only women bleed Only women bleed Only women bleed...” Alice Cooper & Dick Wagner #ibelieveher #onlywomenbleed #portrait #acrylicpainting #artistsoninstagram #alicecooper #democracy #women #artliveshere #creativitymatters #thecreativesseries #artstagram #abstract #painting #writerslife #authorsofinstagram #indie https://www.instagram.com/p/BoQf1LKFDPJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=flytcrx2e7ht

”We are in New York. The city is blanketed in snow. Through the whiteness Lestat is searching for Dora, the beautiful and charismatic daughter of a drug lord, the woman who arouses Lestat's tenderness as no mortal ever has.” Memnoch The Devil, The Vampire Chronicles, Anne Rice... I'm about to sit down and enter this story. I'm a fan of The Mayfair Witches but this volume looked right up my alley ❤️ Another much-loved treasure from @bartsbooksojai ❤️❤️ #annerice #memnochthedevil #thevampirechronicles #lestat #fantasy #bookaholic #igbooks #bookworm #bookphoto #bookish #currentread #bookstagram #usedbooks #bartsbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/BoINNmZl7Bu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1stxzmtbdg6oq
