Lady Jane Scarlett (a retrospective)

As you may be aware from her incredibly subtle International Lady Jane Scarlett Day, we do indeed pause to reflect the wonder that was LJS's birth. (I know what some of you are thinking: just how many days does this broad get? But you trying being a hot-ass pirate, and we will see what we can do.)

(Note: if you are going to bitch about artistic nudity, what are you actually saying is that you think LJS is a slut. If you want that on your conscience, go ahead. Me? I prefer to think of her as one classy....lady)

Lady Jane's first post involved answering questions about herself. We should have known right then.

Lady Jane soon became known for bringing up great philosophical debates, like Pancakes vs. Crepes, questioning the heretical nature of jealousy, or even how to heal someone who wanted to remain broken.

Of course, Lady Jane was known to toot her own horn, and it was not long before she started pimping her own (admittedly awesome) website. The first time, she even made it a contest!

Lady Jane Scarlett was tough, but she did not mind admitting her softer side, like when she spoke of her love for Get Fuzzy, acknowledged what half of Michigan knew: she was easy, her ever-present coffee addiction, or even shyly presented a flower for us to enjoy. (Then there was the day she told the world she danced with a goat.)

But perhaps what Lady Jane Scarlett will best be known for is her in-depth look into the world of pirates and ninja. She started with wondering how awesome a Sith Pirate might be. Soon she revealed who she considered to be the greatest pirate of all. And somehow (please, do not ask me how), Pirates even got into the whole Kirk vs. Picard debate!


Through it all, Lady Jane Scarlett remains an original woman, one hell of a pirate, and a first-class Barner. So raise your glasses with me, as we salute our finest!
