the world is not
respectable; it is mortal,
tormented, confused,
deluded forever; but it is
shot through with beauty,
with Love, with glints of
courage and laughter;
and in these, the spirit
blooms...

There are a lot of degrading words used to describe girls and women. One of them is “Chick.” Since we rarely resemble small fuzzy farmyard animals, this term is rather absurd. Instead, we've reclaimed the word, reformatted it and are offering a new and improved definition. See the 1st post, Hot Chiks Code, in the Oct. archives.
I'm one of two Hot Chiks hosting this blog. While I strive to be a Super Hero, I'm learning to accept my place in the Universe as The Love Goddess. You'd think I'd be fully satisfied being a popular Diety. However, in my heart-of-hearts, I yearn for mutant-powers, a body-hugging lycra-spandex outfit and a gold lame' cape.

I like this picture better, too. .
There are moments of immense beauty. I just experienced some with my neighbors. These are the things that make life worth living.

The possibility of Love in the world is beautiful.
I agree with Sunney. I am going to stick it on my mirror for frequent reference!
