i agree with you that SLIME magazine comes off as "looking very strange, and freakish". that's because SLIME magazine IS very strange and freakish.
Also, i have an even higher opinion of you since you are such a fan of Ann's :o)
Thank you for getting back with the critique. I had about 90 minutes to make sure I got it right. She is an extroardinary woman and I'm proud to defend her!
