Description

Marie Laveau was a voodoo queen. She was in the back room with the govenor of Louisiana many times in the 1700's and they wes doing more than Bill Cinton did lol. But the story goes that someone came to ask Marie Laveru something that only the goveror can do and let a prisoner go free. She say she will see and ask the governor. He say no way and she say she tell and the governor let the prisoner go. Now everyone know the Marie Laveau was the most powerful person in Louisana and every one went to her and she was the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans. this is was I understand of the story. If you read diff well then I got it wrong LOL thanks for looking and reading and comments too lol those ebots is not there and not in the bulk mail all I get is the comment ebots

Well personally i anti voodoo anything... actually anything to do with cults...i gotta ask thou who is the man in the background, you seem to have him in alot off your photo shots, he's kinda creepy, reminds me off gentle version off the reeper waiting to capture souls...another thing where are these images taken? what country? good work
