Tom adds: As Phanny saunters down toward the bungalows, hips undulating gently to the soft magical sound of a steel drum band playing in the grassy area between the bungalows, the evening sun highlights the red flower in her wet hair. Fresh from a sensual swim in the bay, Phanny has tied her hair behind her with a small band of grape vines and the wet strands trail down her back and over her shoulders. Small rivulets of water from the strands trickle over her body, cooling her in the sun as she walks. She is in her element here, Phanny, Queen of Everything. She has the event well organized and she smiles at the thought of all the creative, crazy writers who will be gathering soon. She smiles as she wonders which of the many subscribers to Writers will show up at this First Annual Clothing Optional Writers-L Gathering. How many will be brave enough to show up. Surely Izzy will. Iz wouldn't miss this for the world. How about CathyB? Ummm, she may have baby-sitting problems. Certainly Judy Ray will be here. Hard to imaging her passing up the chance for all the Writers to see her red hair. And speaking of red hair, Phanny knows Tom will come to the gathering. He may be a sorry writer, but he's a world class exhibitionist! Rounding the corner of the bungalows, Phanny hears the high-pitched, yet low-resonance hum of the transporter. Who will it be?
