> *SHAWNE MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY, Chicago IL/// "Named after the goddess of the moon; This Creole beauty has divine power in reeling in her slaves and forcing them to submit to her perverse ideologies. True to her bloodline, she is cruel & savage by nature with a desire to bend, break, and disintegrate. Standing at 6'5" in her 8 inch stilettos, MISS HOLLOWAY yearns to crush the spirits of helpless artifacts & trains them into complete servitude. Like a true Femme Fatale, she teases her free flowing but submissive data with her agile fingers. This sadistic vixen's work will exploit your wildest visions & leave you begging for more. She will sink her pointer into your fragile desktops & desaturate all color any of your files once had, leaving them completely broken & bit-crushed before her. With a click that makes mice stick & WPM that can take your eyes for watching. Watch out when this black cat crosses your path."
