What can I say to you about EMMA MAYE?  Other than she is one of THE MOST incredible, indomitable, beautiful, passionate, fierce, gentle, formidable, warm, hot, cool, crazy, brilliant, diligent women you will ever hope to meet.  She is a fighter, a lover, a destroyer, a builder.

Emma IS a FORCE of nature.  Emma is also the mother of 3 of our STAR DESTROYERS... Iris Mayhem, Betty Grumble and Vinnie Bradley.

3 seemingly disparate characters but in actual fact... ALL are conveyors of the same message.  THIS IS MY BODY.  And all are creations of a brilliant, beautiful mind.
