It's way cool to have a bad girl that can weild physical violence; but a truly bad girl, IMO is one thats cunningly subtle. Mind games, manipulation of the baser senses.<br /><br />A talented bad girl is an instigator. She sets things in motion, and watches with glee as the devastation unfolds on its own, only tweaking circumstancesdolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458380.post-48882028009430902442010-05-08T00:09:32.250-04:002010-05-08T00:09:32.250-04:00Thanks Olivia!

I'm in love with Sif as a Bad Girl temptress ready to bed the dupe in the name of retaking control over humankind, but more especially to reclaim her own power.<br /><br />You are definitely not out of your element, you moved those two around like putty, creating a mounting tension that I read will soon to be consummated.

But bad girls themselves are boring, it's what's makes them bad that's interesting and Sif has quite a history. :) Regardless, what stands out for me here is the writing:<br /><br />The more civilized men thought themselves, the more brutality they were capable of. <br />Sif could feel the roar of war, waitingVR Barkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927993233682731113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458380.post-5270241261220923512010-05-07T08:52:20.768-04:002010-05-07T08:52:20.768-04:00Harley: She is definitely that.
