Description

James Tiptree, Jr.: The Double Life of Alice B. SheldonJames Tiptree, Jr., burst onto the science fiction scene in the late 1960s with a series of hard edged, provocative stories. He redefined the genre with such classics as Houston, Houston, Do You Read? and The Women Men Don't See. For nearly ten years he wrote and carried on intimate correspondences with other writers Philip K. Dick, Harlan Ellison, and Ursula K. Le Guin, though none of them knew his true identity.

James Tiptree, Jr., burst onto the science fiction scene in the late 1960s with a series of hard-edged, provocative stories. He redefined the genre with such classics as Houston, Houston, Do You Read? and The Women Men Don't See. For nearly ten years he wrote and carried on intimate correspondences with other writers--Philip K. Dick, Harlan Ellison, and Ursula K. Le Guin, though none of them knew his true identity. Then the cover was blown on his alter ego: "he" was actually a sixty-one-year-old woman named Alice Bradley Sheldon. A feminist, she took a male name as a joke--and found the voice to write her stories.

Based on extensive research, exclusive interviews, and full access to Alice Sheldon's papers, Julie Phillips has penned a biography of a profoundly original writer and a woman far ahead of her time.

Smells like crayons
Color: Bronze Gold
Stinks. Smells like covering yourself in melted crayons. Very cheap smelling. Left it on ny skin for an hour, then wiped with a rag and it immediately came right off. You're better off just getting bronzer.

shimmer
Color: Rose Gold
I recently tried the UCANBE Body Shimmer Oil, and I have to say, I'm really impressed! The oil has a beautiful, subtle shimmer that adds a touch of glow without being too overpowering. It feels luxurious on the skin, absorbing quickly and leaving it soft and smooth. I love how it gives my skin a healthy, radiant look, especially when I wear it on my legs and arms. The scent is light and refreshing, not too strong, which is a plus for me. Overall, it's perfect for a little extra sparkle on special occasions or just when I want to feel a bit extra on a regular day! Definitely recommend it if you're looking for a quality shimmer oil that doesn't feel greasy.
