Venus graciously accepts all donations however generous or small, towards keeping this website and all galleries free to the public, without banners or any form of advertising, and to assist in promoting the ideals of World Peace through ongoing research and promotion of social awareness, multicultural education, equality, tolerance and absolute liberty.
Venus truly believes that the world would be a peaceful place and that all human beings would benefit tremedously if everyone incorporated random acts of benevolance and generosity in their daily activities as an affirmation of the gift of life, the present, which truly is a 'present'.....
Venus' favourite pastimes include: Travelling to ancient power centers, dispensing advice, putting around the garden, conceptualizing Utopian visions of the future, attending sporting/cultural events, demonstrating acts of orderly civil disobedience, monitoring radio telescopes, dabbling in show-biz, as well as further detailed studies of human bahaviour.
Indeed, Venus is descended from a long line of powerful females, most notably her mother, Ursula, RIP 06.20.29-03.11.06, who as a former rebel army guerrilla fighter wielded a machine gun, and acted as nurse and cryptographer during a classified military operation at extremely high altitudes in an undisclosed European mountain range, while maintaining an impeccable grooming regiment despite extremely harsh conditions, dressed in full battle gear, which coincidentally happened to be a most flattering shade of drab green, which accentuated the green-eyed Venus heritage rather well....As a matter of fact, Ursula swore she would never wear anything but camouflage after the war, but her new husband, a handsome and gallant military officer, had other plans......
Thus, Ursula returned to civilian life sporting classy mid-length skirts, accentuated by alligator handbags and matching Dior pumps, and promptly started work on producing the unusually bright Venus, who mirrored her fair father, the tall and rather harsh disciplinarian, Evander, RIP 03.10.26-03.12.83, reknowned for his severe and terrifying outbursts, intermingled with offbeat humor .....
True Facts about Ursula:
Spent 9 months underground in caves while moving from range to range by cover of night, lead troop of 500 women in battle, of which only she and 1 other survived, lived through nightime air-raids and napalm bombers, as wartime nurse assisted in live operations without the availability of anaesthesia, trampled and tripped on tangled intestines of war dead while escaping from the trail of tracking dogs, drank from bloody puddles of water and ate raw meat to survive, witnessed sacks full of severed human heads which were rolled out onto a public square as a warning to those who dare defy Fascism.
ON A LIGHTER NOTE.......DR.VENUS AND THE PARANORMAL
Dr. Venus reports having lived through two out of the body experiences shortly after her father's death in 1983, sighted a previously unknown comet in 1995, and felt the presence of extraterrestrial influence during a flight over the desert of Nevada in 1996. Dr. Venus believes that these events ignited her personal consciousness and bestowed gifts, which are to be shared for the benefit of mankind.
