Not that I know of; I believe I flaunted it at brunch the next morning (causing David B to lose his appetite, I’m sure), but I don’t think we’ve got any pics. Gotta save something for next time…

Congratulations on your first post, Terry! And thanks for the beer! I owe you one (or several) next time we all get together.

All right…more pics have been added! (Alas, none are of Gaudere’s navel ring.) Same URL as above. Hope y’all enjoy!

Great job, Falcon. Beautifully done. At this point, I’d just like to thank (insert your favorite diety here) for getting me to notice that Falcon had a camera pointed at me and Omni so I could get the hell out of the way before she got that dirty dancing shot.

I think we need to chip in and get David B a more interesting Moderator Hat.  
What’s it say across the front, anyway? I couldn’t read it in the pic.

No, he sent me all his files, elelle…I, being a semi-lazy bitch, didn’t post everything I had. If there’s a pic you want…I’m sure SOMETHING could be arranged.

Gaudere said, of her pierced navel:

Nah, I’d seen it the night before, so I was prepared. (Now before anybody gets any ideas, and although Lib may still think we’re lesbian lovers, I saw it when I was typing in my OP in the “Oh the humanity” thread and Gaudere, who already had taken out her contacts, bent over to read the screen.)

Hey, I already said her belly button was cute! Sorry I don’t like metal sticking through it. Jeez.

That’s what I get for giving Gaudere the nicer one. Jeez again.

I never doubted you for a second. I just doubted that your evilness could cause something that the ungodliness of the rest of us there couldn’t. However, I will say that with your “I’ll give you a dollar” thing, you are definitely following in the footsteps of Satan (who **still** hasn’t sent me the dollar he promised!).

DavidB -

Speaking of which, Satan said that all we have to do is send him our addresses, and he SWEARS he will send us the dollar he owes us all.

RTF: BTW, I notice you immediately commented on Gaudere being a “cute-lookin’ babe,” but say nothing else about any of the _other_ moderators that were at the shindig and had their photos on the page.

One user, prior to any photos of me being posted anywhere (which would have been, well, prior to these photos), said she thought I must look like Robert Redford. Don’t you agree?

(ChrisCTP said, when I walked in to her hotel room, that I looked nothing like the way she pictured me. I asked why and all she would say was that she was sure I’d be blonde.)

**David,** I’m _sure_ you didn’t mean to confuse, and also that **Gaudere** doesn’t want the image bonging around through the Teeming Millions’ brain-pans, but how in the world does one bend over in such as way as to expose one’s navel?

I reckon it’s best for me not to inquire to closely how, why, where or when guys see any of my body parts, but I was wondering that m’self.

\< sigh \> Do I have to explain _everything_ to you people?

She was standing to my left. She bent over to read the screen. When she stood back up to say something to me (thus I was looking at her), her shirt (which was not then tucked in – don’t know if it had been earlier as I wasn’t keeping an eye on it) pulled up a little and exposed her pierced belly button.

Jeez. Talk about needing to over-explain. Next time I’ll just let people think whatever the hell they want! 😉

**David,** in these parts it’s considered good manners to look a lady in the _eyes_ when you’re conversing with her.

Thanks! But you didn’t say nice things about my hat, and now it’s offended.
