So many interesting stories behind the user names!
My user name was given to me by Country Girl (Athene), cause we have a similar sense of humor and she swears I'm "bananas." She began calling me "Frannie Banannie, Queen of Franistan." So I adopted it as a user name and email addie.
I started out with a glammed-up banana avatar with a fruit hat like Chiquita Banana character. Then I switched to a head shot of myself all glammed up, but took it down after a while, because a few guys PM'd me expressing an interest and I didn't know them and figured it'd be safer just not to leave it up and give anybody any ideas. After all, the picture is about 5 yrs old and time marches on. It just happens to be marching across my face and body. So now I use the little dancing granny, cause my hair is white and I LURV to boogie and get down. Oh, sometimes I use a Lucille Ball head shot.
However.....were the choice of a user name left up to me, my user name would be something with Phoenix in it and my avatar would be.....
..............cause I left the WTS in flames and I'm rising from the ashes.
