"Fragile as a..." Published

thisZine, a webzine with a feminist slant, just published my digital collage, "Fragile as a..." I'm always happy to put my work out there, so I appreciate the opportunity they've given me. Please check out my piece and this fine publication by clicking here.

Also, for whatever reason, the VCU blog website is not loading very well. Please check out my "Adventures in Cheese Snob Land," an account of my French travels, at http://cheesesnobland.blogspot.com instead.

More from the Chrissie Front

I am still in France, in case you are wondering. Here's some news:

*My 6'' plastic dragon, Lenore Daglish, has a Facebook page. It's full of my dragon art and writing. You can visit it at www.facebook.com/lenoredaglish. Please feel free to friend her! She's been feeling a little unpopular lately.

*I started a new blog where I post artistic photos of Lenore. It's called, "I Spy Lenore." Right now I'm doing a series called, "Lenore in France. Visit the blog at http://ispylenore.blogspot.com to check out some of the photos.

*I have updated The Christine Stoddard Fan Club on Facebook. For a while, I announced that I was going to close it down because I wanted to expand another Facebook group, Christine's Cognitive Chaos, but I decided to keep it after all. If you like my writing/art/modeling/acting, please join!

*I am still updating my latest fashion series, "Exploring Fashion La Rochelle." You can read it at my alternative fashion blog, Give Me Paisley and Parasols (www.paisleyandparasols.com).

New Short Story Called "Salt"

I am really enjoying my time in France and taking all kinds of notes and sketches for future projects. I haven't had much of a chance to finish creative projects because I've been so busy soaking up inspiration, but I did have the chance to finish my latest short story, "Salt." You can read it here. If you haven't had the chance to check out my French travel blog, please do. Click here for my observations as I visit France for the first time. I will also be posting photos and videos from my travels. Expect me to return to my normal "production rate" in August. In the meantime, I'll enjoy La Rochelle!
