Sis thinks I should change her name to "Ella" now that she's been transformed. Does that make me her fairy godmother? Ouch! Say it ain't so!

Hmm, I like the "reborn" idea of Phoenix. Maybe Natasha? Originally Posted by grey

Finally found a shop that had slightly used one that they gave me - they officially became my favorite LBS that day!
