What is your avatar from? that’s a great pic and I have eyed it since you changed it from the last one. Just wondering.

It’s a painting of Countess Elizabeth Bathory - the most prolific female serial killer in history. She killed over 200 young girls during (if memory serves) the 17th Century…although unofficially the actual body count is supposed to be much higher.
This particular artwork was used as the front cover of a Cradle Of Filth album, a band I despise.
But I really liked the painting and chose it as my avatar.

The painting is pretty bad ass. I’ve heard of that woman. Didn’t she think the blood of Virgin girls kept her young?

Yes. She did.
Amongst other things.
I once dated a cutie pie college girl ‘princess’ (…and boy was she ever to die for!!!) who had a serious fixation on Countess Bathory.
I remember her just cause she thought she had to BATHE in the blood of virgins and her name is BATHory
anyway thanks for the info Peligro & jupitreas.

I always thought your choice of avatar was to make fun of Cradle but I suppose the painting itself IS quite good…
