A lot of them are scans of Japanese stationary or other products, like washclothes, bandanas, etc. Some of them are pictures from old needlework books. Some of them are postcards. The last one -- the black with the "flowers" -- was just these little construction paper cut-outs my kids had made at school.

Oh, and some of them are fabric from Clothworld and stuff.

Tell me if there's a specific one you like, and I'll tell you exactly where I got it.

This site makes me sad. Some things just aren't funny. And the drunken "I'm not pretty" passage is ridiculous. Of course you're beautiful. Can you move on now?!?

Cool, Gwen, they really rock!!!

And as for you, Gwen's site kicks much ass! I think Gwen's honest and funny entries are really good. It makes us all feel better if we know that we aren't the only ones who feel the way we do, you know? And i think Gwen is moving on. And even if she wasn't, who gives a crap? She pays for this website, she can do whatevethehell she wants with it.

Yeah, Babs, some things sure as fuck aren't funny.

Yeah, cause life isn't always funny. Sometimes it's just life. If you're looking for a laugh go to www.comicstrips.com. Sometimes Gwen is funny. Sometimes she's bitter. But she is always Gwen and that is why we come here.

Barbarella, I was ready to move on, but now that you mention it, I feel "I'm Not Pretty: Part II -- Entering the Thirties" coming on. Thanks.

Thanks to the rest of y'all, for real.

And yes, some of the background images came from xmas/b-day gifts from people named Letty.
