   She has no sense of humor about being photographed, though.  She banned   
   photos during her session at the Vulkon con in Altamonte (it said   
   "Orlando" but it was effing Altamonte - I know my home area!)   I could

   no-flash?  Bite me, bitch - we *paid* for your appearance.  Deal with it.
