Tattoos, Piercings Slip Into Dress Codes - (AP - 10/18/06) - "Colleen Harris doesn't fit the stereotype of the buttoned-up librarian. Her arms are covered with a pirate queen motif and black scrolling tattoos, which extend down the side of her body to her ankle. A black rose and the words 'Dangerous Magic' adorn the back of her left hand, and the words 'Anam Cara' (old Gaelic for 'soul friend') letter her knuckles. The 27-year-old _ who has multiple masters degrees and a job at the University of Kentucky's research library _ feels no pressure to cover up."

Since launching in last December, we’ve had a number of blog posts detailing the success of the Topix.net forums platform. The latest numbers show nearly 2.5 million posts and over 400K unique users in less than 10 months. It continues to grow like a weed." |
