Her name is a play upon the Turkey City Lexicon term "Jar of Tang" after her Editor faery godmother (the same person who routinely edits Horror Anthologies and autographed a book called Alien Sex) told her Tangh-i-ness that to go around being just Jarla was pretentious.

This more than a Her Tangh-i-ness Approved read. This book is about Representation of the rich lore that belongs specifically to the African Descended who ended up in Northern Turtle Island. Her Tangh-i-ness, at 13 years old, read A Wrinkle in Time and finished the book and said to herself. That was all about saving Megan's dad and Charles Wallace.

Time to give M. Christian some more Hairy Eyeball for his Dirty Words.
Does the idea that there is a hardened penis available to be inserted into a variety of holes give you a reason to pay attention?

Her Tangh-i-ness Does read other things besides Erotica. But since we're on the subject—there's always time for more recreational Smut. Creatives are some of the most highly-sexed beings on the planet; I mean near everything they produce is the result of an orgasm of the Creative Mind.
