I’m still a girl. I was a girl when my username was Mojo57 but I changed it to The Mermaid cause I got tired of being called “dude”. I don’t have a picture handy, but I can be seen in that new Ricky Martin video “She bangs” I’m the one with the long purple tail. Even though I was practically topless during the entire video shoot, Ricky wouldn’t even look at me twice. You’d think he was gay or something. :rolleyes: ---

I am, in fact, a girl. And a hyper one at that. ---

Male, as if I hadn’t already mentioned it in every other message I post. The odd thing is that people used to mistake me for female far more often when they saw my real name. I guess that’s what comes from growing up around Boston as the only Frenchy in town. –sublight. ---
