A vintage Anne Rice wank I've wanted to share for years
But I had lost the information.

15 years ago I worked as a proofreader for a legal publisher. During that time, I came across a 1994 appellate case involving Anne Rice. I printed it out and saved it for years, because I was and am a fan of her novels, but I thought that it had gotten thrown away during one of my moves. Which was a shame, because I wished I could share it on f_w.

Yesterday I was going through a box of old stuff and found out I still had the opening page. I put the info into Google and found the case!

KONIGSBERG INTL. INC.; the Sanitsky Company, Plaintiffs-Appellants,

Anne RICE, Defendant-Appellee (Two Cases).

That might well have been the end of the story, but for the fact that Rice thereafter tried to vindicate her position by writing a somewhat indignant letter to K & S's lawyer.... Not only did this letter fail to shame K & S into contrition, it gave them what they thought was the missing link to their argument--a writing signed by the author. Armed with this new evidence, K & S brought a Rule 60(b) motion and a request for leave to amend their complaint, claiming that they now had a writing sufficient to satisfy section 204 of the Copyright Act."

That is, her long-standing habit of writing angry letters to people gave them an excuse to drag her back into court.

There's a tiny bit more info about it here. Also, it seems that in '97, James Cameron was trying to make a movie of The Mummy.

And that is all I could find about this case. I hope no one minds my sharing a wank this outdated; I thought those who follow Anne Rice wanks would be interested, and so far as I can tell this has only ever been reported in lawyer publications.

	See, I can't shop there with my boobs so I just knew it was pretty, purple, and positioned right. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It is a miracle bra, and as someone with tiny boobs? I CAN ASSURE YOU IT IS IN FACT A MIRACLE. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It is AMAZING how much better some of my shirts hang on me now that I own this bra (in several colors). I mean, I don't wear it every day? But there are just certain clothes that call for BOOBAGE. And VS brings the boobage, boy howdy. Sometimes I wonder if my co-workers wonder why I go up and down two entire cup sizes every other day. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	evilsqueakers 2011-06-08 06:11 am UTC (link)
	They probably just think you duct tape them down and release like Roberta in Now and Then. And there are definitely shirts I own that need some boobage to make them look right. When you're high up on the top, well, anymore and you won't be able to see again. Minimizers are my friend. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kita0610 2011-06-08 06:13 am UTC (link)
	Minimizers are my friend. I have never had this issue. Basically, until I had my kid I could jog without a bra on. Now not so much, but I will never need to minimize. There ought to be a place we could go and donate/receive donations until everyone was satisfied. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I've been trying to get rid of my boobs for half my life but I can't detach them, sadly. Otherwise, you could have an extra cup or two and I'd fine. (I'm actually afraid to jog.) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I have a couple of friends who had reductions. They are MUCH happier. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Where I insured, I'd have half a lot less. That'd be fun and I'd get to wear female shirts again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I have a collection I use for the boob moments. They're quite useful. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kita0610 2011-06-09 08:14 am UTC (link)
	Every moment should be a boob moment. Alas, I only have one icon on JF. There are boobs a plenty on my LJ account though. Most of them belong to Christina Hendricks. UNF. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Most of mine belong to Tocarra's impressiveness. This is the only account with boobs, though. Most of mine on LJ are snarky or wordless. Such as that one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh, Mr. Pond!! I am so in love with everyone on the Tardis this season, it is insane. I just want to take them all home and feed them pie. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

(I moved over so we don't make a too horizontal bar.)

I am glad you shared this information with me. For uhm, research sake you understand. I like to have a complete picture of uhm. Celebrities. And their personal strengths. Yes.

Of course it was for research purposes only. We wouldn't ever do anything else with that info. Didn't you notice that from his driving, though? Nothing meekly about him.

I'll. Be in my bunk.

Just remember to Frebreze the air afterwards.

	Just remember to Frebreze the air afterwards. I will in fact Febreze the air like I just don't care. \0/ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Then use Renuzit Super Odor Neutralizer for the extra boost. Er. Not that I know from personal experience on how well that changes the air...and makes it smell better than before. whistles (Reply to this)(Parent)
