========================================

1) Janet the Angel { on www.zananeichan.deviantart.com }

This is a portrait I had done for someone in south africa, and this
is the low quality large version of the image/ some places will get
the wallpaper sized version, the person who requested the portrait,
will get the high quaility BMP, and Photoshop files. This image well
it did not strain much out of my machine like the elves do, sicne its
one figure, and a basic background, but it all fits well. It is a
portrait of Janet. I wont go into much personal details about dear ol
Janet... But i thank her very much for helping me out, since i am
getting a bit of money for this, thank you Janet
(((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))) and i did put a lot of
effort, using the Free RAM/Processing power of my machine, to realy
go into emphasis on skin texture, and fine details etc on the basic
elements in the image... pls, take a look at her skin for example...
all the little bumpies, pores etc.. :-), I wanted to get better
texture on the angel wings by plucking fetahers from the wild geese
here, but could not catch them, so i drew my own feathers, and
textured the obj file...and made it so that the sun can shine through
the feather slits.
Janet, I do hope you love the image:-)

2) Eurovision and Dana International

Well I certainly loved this years Eurovision contest, and it was very
difficult to choose the winner, as I had 4 favourites, all women from
various Eurpean countries, the one that sounded like Bjork, was
brilliant, the girl who looks similar to me, playing the drums and
singing and full of life and energy, realy loved those armbands! :-),
then the woman in the red dress, the gothic girl from Finland!, the
group that won, who looked like Tatu lesbian clones! What i did find
funny was the group that looked like liked something from the wizzard
of Oz, Austria, very catchy tune, and lots of giggles..I also liked
Brits, and there Aeroplain dance drama show...

It was a brilaint show, the only thing that was missing and empty was
that it would have been nice to see Dana International's face
representing the votes from Israel, but I dont understand why Israel,
is always choosing men:-(

I did like the finland princess, the lady that looked like Lara
Croft! and then Father christmass,and the pink dressed, thick haired
blonde bubbely girl..
It was in total a pleasent, great show! However the Tatu-like girls
that one the event, i am very scheptic about them, and i wonder where
they got there chord structure from for the the chorus of there song,
it sounds odly familiar, to the song which i done, as gifts to some
people around the world on cassette. Maybe a strange coincendence,
and i heard the future...most of all i enjoyed the show.

Now about Dana International, I heard from a freind who heard from
another freind that she had married or in the process of marriage on
the telephone, I dont know if this is true, or just a broken
telephone syndrome of one rumour changed into another. Or it may have
been temporal miss alighnment i the time stream.
I do miss her alot, since been offline and cannot check up on things,
and I say special thanks 4 for your emails with some basic update on
about her, thank you XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!
I just hope she is doing well and fine, and she is happy...


3) Skinning Tutorial of Poser Figures
I am still working on this e-book, and halfway through it and as well
as creating plain skin textures, then i will cover tattoos and body
art, and then other 3D texturing to finnish off with...
It would be delayed a bit since i am going to Cape Town. But will
continue working at it when i return, however, i have to slot it
inbetweeen my C++ programing.


4) Trangender meeting in Cape Town
This is the reason why I am going to be in cape town for a week,
several TS woman around South Africa are going to be meeting and have
a convention, discussing the Transgender Issues in South Africa, and
I have been invited, alot is going to be discussed here, as well as
an advantage to make new freinds, and share information and help. The
topics will rouphly cover the situation of TS people and jobs in the
country, acceptance, medical problems and battles within the country,
and acceptance of the issue and government..I will provide some news
on this..

Thanks very much for the emails, and messages those who wrote..
Thank you Virpi, for reminding me of the Eurovision!!:-) I would have
missed it.
Lotsa love and hugs
