From Hells Heart I Stab At Thee
Cheng I Sao, Anne Bonny, Mary Read, Grace O’Malley, Rachel Wall, all famous female pirates. But these are the ones who survived. Beneath the waves, the souls of the watery deep call out their story of defiance, forever lost to history. Closer… An earlier one I didn’t really like.
Aemillia
She’s a staple at the Renaissance Faire. A European beauty, noble and fair. She’s a lady, an enigma with an infectious smile, whose presence calls for a lens, any lens, to capture.
