The Goddess Way
So Kami needs to get people to her temple on the college campus, and what better way than a poster? So Mina says, “Klimt,” because that damn Kiss reprint is all over college dorms, and hies herself to Kinkos where she has these printed:
I know, I’m playing around with Curio instead of writing, but I did write the scene this poster is in and then I made the poster and it just seemed a lot clearer after I could see it.

Shall I bring cookies?
Jenny - that’s gorgeous! I love it! I’m gonna print it out and hang it on my wall.
Playing with Curio is always writing! (Just like crocheting–right, Lani?)
Obviously, all that tabloid reading has properly warped Kammani (youth+beauty+wealth=happiness). But where are the temple dogs?
And why is Demi Moore’s old Vanity Fair photo peeping out behind Kammani? The tagline says nothing about fertility…
(Curio looks fun. I’ve got to remember to download a trial one of these days.)
It’s beautiful. I’ll be there
That would make a great t-shirt. Just saying.
“in the temple behind the bookcase in the faculty lounge”? On a poster?
I used to make posters for events in college. They had a building name and address. And a date.
Or am I being too literal here?
How, how, how did you do this? It’s gorgeous! That looks kind of like a Goya on the right. If you have another con I’d like to see all the things you can do with your computer and collages. I have a few PC programs that can pull off some of those effects, but none can pull them together in the same program. And, of course, since it’s a PC it doesn’t have the memory cache to keep on working when things get really interesting.
Do you have earlier saved versions?
Wow! I know, I know, Curio is droolworthy, but I’m reminded again. I’d sign up for that computer collage course, too.
Kira, it’s every Wednesday, so there’s no date. And the history building at Summerville College is a stone step temple from Mesopotamia. People know where it is.
Oh my - that is simply splendid. I’d buy whatever it was selling.
It’s a great Klimt painting and I’m positive we couldn’t use it on a T-shirt or anything else. But a T-shirt advertising The Goddess Way appeals to me, I must say.
I just found the you used Klimt — I was misremembering another one, and had thought you had added the figure on the right — thus the Goya comment. I know amy programs will allow users to layer images, but I’ve never been able to do that with any of the ones I have.
I know a lot of people who’d buy Goddess Way T-shirts.
Ook that’s gorgeous! And my all-time favorite font too! I’m so there.
Very cool picture, but I’m immature, and I would have drawn a beard on her if this was posted at my school. All those “!!!” would have asked me to do it. No one should be that excited while at school. It’s just not right.
……
I had to look at it again. I really need a Mac so I can get Curio.
Curio really isn’t an image program, it’s for brainstorming, but it’s so easy to use I find myself defaulting to it.
And as near as I can tell, this image is still under copyright, so T-shirts. Sigh.
We can have a Goddess Way t-shirt, we just need someone to design us a goddess. Or how about that bit of stained glass-type artwork you used to have on your webpage?
How about this one:

And then I made my google search specifically for mesopotamia goddess images, and I found Deborah Ross, who I think is a very funny writer:

Maybe you could get Amano (the guy who does graphic novels with Gaiman) to do it. He’s very Klimt-y at times.
(-: I just know all you famous writer/artist/creative people see each other all the time! (not)
Gack! My brain is running on empty these days. Above comment is not meant to imply that the above poster is anything less than wonderful. Great pic, great font . . . if it had a dog or two, it’d be perfect.
Is Kammari by any chance 3-faced?
I think my favorite thing about this poster is the exclamation points. It’s so junior high, and yet so “goddess-just-returned-to-the-present”.
It really just sets the entire tone of the poster.
