In my time as a Lush Mod, The Divine Ms Coco was my BOSS!!! (And we had our ups and downs, believe me... And I don't mean in a SEX way, I mean, like ...)
Coco: "Get on with it you ASS!"
Okay...
Her writing and work speaks for itself. She is not brilliant BY ACCIDENT.
However...
What many don't see, (and I was priviliged to see) is the HOURS AND HOURS she spends policing the queue and supporting contributing writers and her junior story Mods, always kind and gentle with corrections and suggestions, always encouraging and nurturing.
Coco: "You misspelled 'privileged'.
"CAN YOU GIVE ME a fucking break here you bitch?"
WHAT I AM FUCKING WELL TRYING TO POXY SAY... (Deep Breaths...) is that Madame Coco is among those that make the wheels on the wagon that is LS turn around.
She's my friend and I ask you to join me in wishing her a Happy Birthday.
xx Stephen
(She'll expect me to play the Stevie Wonder tune now just 'cos she has curly hair... Fuck that! She's a SUGARCUBE, so...)

(Happy Birthday, Love.)
Coco: "Were you ever married to Bjork?"
Me: "Fuck You."
