    I share my name with a soft p.rn star. :o :cool: :o

    Thanks for the Google Alert and Social Searcher recommendations - I've just signed up for both.

    The latest things popping up on FB according to Social Searcher are photographs of aforementioned 'celebrity', thankfully with strategically placed hands. :p:o
