Turning to photography as a creative outlet during a valiant fight with breast cancer at age 34, renaissance10 survived and set up a photo contest to help raise funds for the Lavender Trust, a nonprofit that provides information and support to younger women with breast cancer. In the first two years, the competition brought in over £65,000 (that's $107,260.73 U.S.!), with entries from 130 countries last year. Renaissance10 recently joined LiveJournal to meet other passionate photographers and find supportive friends.

I'm a young, chubby college girl looking for a Daddy. I can be really shy, so Daddy will need to be patient sometimes, and coax things out of me. I'm a good girl by nature, but sometimes I may do naughty things that Daddy will need to reprimand or punish me for.

I need someone who will take the time to get to know me, and not just use me to get off, and someone who is willing to give me directions and orders when need be.

If you're interested, and think you'd be a good Daddy for me, send me a message, and I'll give you my Yahoo/AIM. You can also comment, as they will be screened.

Anyone up for some late night christmas play? I'm up, and bored. Up for pretty much anything, if it's a little off the norm don't be afraid to ask if I'm interested :)

especially interested if you have pictures to trade ;)
