Wingedvamp - For Contest

Winged Vamp – for contest Hey, who’s in charge here…? I need a serious makeover, spent a summer eating a very… well….green diet put on a few ounces.. had some of “those” curves. Been in here working on my image, you know, buffing it up on all levels, a little firming up, splash of color, new wardrobe. Now it is time for my coming out party…. “Sweet Sixteen??” No Way!! Can’t wait that long. Gotta break out, spread my wings, sashay down that winding staircase, enrapture the garden, enhance the beauty of the flowers, tease them with my love, make even the roses blush. Leave but the scent of my wings wafting over their petals, a dewy tear on their cheeks for I am as fickle as the winds I surf as frail as my fluttering beauty. John G.
