Ariana Grande: The Perfect Role Model?

Ariana GrandeWell, well, well… What better way to represent our grief than to wiggle around singing about being sore after sex…
Sorry folks. Ariana Grande’s ‘Oneness’ concert that took place in Manchester yesterday has yet to move me. And now I see the Telegraph has published an article on how a reporter who, after watching the concert, had decided that Ariana wasn’t a bad role model for her daughter after all… Oh, really?
So because Grande decided ditch her normally skimpy costumes for one event, she’s now a good role model? Does that magically nullify all the innuendo laced songs directed at young girls (including such empowering lyrics such as ‘It’s Hard To Breathe When You’re Kissing Me There’ and talk of ‘Dick Bicycles’), nor remember the hating of America, licking of doughnuts, and gratuitous music videos with people having sex on car hoods?
Maybe a little less cupcake fluff and a little more condemnation of violence would be in order for me to be impressed. But as for the glowing article by that wonderful mother, the reporter, I guess that a paycheck from a magazine is enough to change anyone’s mind, folks. I just wonder if she’ll find it empowering when her daughter is old enough to do more than just ‘sing’ about ‘dick bicycles’…
Gotta love society today. Gotta love it…

A New Teaser From War Machine

War Machine: Destiny in the Shadows

A Science Fiction Adventure Novel by Maggie Lynn Heron-Heidel

Only eight days left until War Machine is out! Here’s the new excerpt I promised you all with a touch of romance…


“…His eyes shone down at me as I breathed unsteadily, trying to drag air in to my rapidly shrinking lungs. I battled with my desire to run and the desire to surrender to him entirely. I could feel my heart wildly thumping in my chest and I could have sworn it skipped a beat or two. I hoped he couldn’t feel all this through the bulletproof polymer.

“You can say ‘no’,” he whispered, sounding as though he wished I wouldn’t.
I opened my mouth to protest but the words died in my throat. Maybe they came out as a whimper; I don’t know. I wasn’t paying much attention to my reaction now as much as I was his rapidly descending lips. My eyes drifted closed and I could feel his breath on my face.
It was a shock to me that I wanted his contact so badly. He was right. I did like him. I did like the way his arm was holding my body and his hand gently twisted up into my hair. I so badly wanted to know what it felt like to be loved. My lips trembled with anticipation and want. But the contact I suddenly longed for never came…”

Where Once We Stood – A Poem

desert-fantasy-wallpaper-16502-17040-hd-wallpapers.jpgWHERE ONCE WE STOOD
– A POEM BY
MAGGIE LYNN HERON-HEIDEL
Where once there came a gilded city
that built into the sky,
until the day the rain never came
and the once plentiful well ran dry.
Citizens cried upon her ruin
never a care for her lost,
their freedom gone and voices quiet
too late now to ponder the cost.
Will a hero arise to save them all
or will the government decry,
we love control, won’t let it go,
for freedom was always nothing but lies…
 
– Inspired by the setting of my new novel…
Or reality if you should choose to see it that way.
– XX Maggie Lynn
