Hot! In Faith: Icons

It seems no accident that on Rosh Hashanah I would encounter a winsome angel handing out flyers (no pun intended), and while I am no Moses (though I'm prone to stutter), and generally my angels don't don wings (they crouch in burning bushes and wrestle prophets), I had to stop, even briefly, to receive this divine message: Iced Tea infused with Rose Quartz Crystals. My first thought was "kidney stones," but my second and subsequent thoughts were, "Do you have a pen?" and "Where's the nearest Sinai," and "How many tablets do you want me to carry?"

    i like the new-york-city vibe to this one. i see indifference on her face, but her eyes and the shape of her mouth have such strong attitude of committment, reminding me of the quote "a woman with a committment is a dangerous man." her arms are also obviously well-toned and slightly muscular in a sexy-female way. of course, the angle wings give it an unexpected sense of humor.
