It's a form of performance art. Even if I feel slightly ridiculous in leathers (short, round lacemaker's figure, great low center of gravity). Do all lace makers also like food? It looks as though there are a lot of common criteria for lace makers! - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL

I like math a lot (although biology still wins). I don't have a motorcycle, but I see how that could be interesting. Doesn't everyone like food?? Weronika On Fri, Jan 21, 2005 at 11:05:51AM +0200, Jacqui wrote: It's a form of performance art. Even if I feel slightly ridiculous in leathers
