&lt;p&gt;Kitty tried to hide her amusement at Lance trying to acting all important, and because Olive Garden really isn’t all that fancy.  She hold of from saying anything until after she and Lance had been seated and the waiter had left to give them time to decided what they wanted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Oh you know, the normal.  People getting locked in the danger room and taking joy rides with rides that don’t belong to them.  People also breaking in every other day and giving other people concussions.”  Kitty half joked, trying to make light of all that has been happening.  She was curious as to how Lance was gonna pay for all of this, but decided to keep from asking for the time being.  No reason to spoil a nice evening by making Lance think she doesn’t trust him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“How’s the Brotherhood been for you?  Any crazy shenanigans recently?  Didn’t you mention that was Mystique was back?”  Ok, she might be bombarding him with questions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Are you sure &lt;em&gt;you’re &lt;/em&gt;not talking about the brotherhood…because…that is almost exactly what it’s like over there. Who would have thought the two places could be so similar?” Mystique was ordering everything off the menu, trying to show off. “We’ll take &lt;em&gt;all &lt;/em&gt;the appetizers please.” She leaned back in her chair and crossed her legs and was probably making Lance look super gay on accident. “Lance” also stole a bottle of wine from a neighboring table whose occupants had just left. “Look, they hardly even touched it.” “Lance” shook his head. Stupid wasteful rich people. “Do you like merlot?” Mystique poured them each a glass anyway, regardless of whatever answer Kitty would give him. “It’s been pretty calm over there, for the brotherhood at least. I heard Magneto beat the shit out of Pyro though.” Yeah, she had heard it from Magneto….who had just texted her. She was walking around with both her own, and Lance’s phone. She knew this also meant that at any time…Lace could show up and drag this whole thing to hell…so she’d better get this show on the road. “How about some dessert, gorgeous? Anything you want…it’s yours.”&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/50363310504</link><guid>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/50363310504</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 May 2013 16:30:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>I beat the shit out of Pyro as a warning but I don't think he's coming back.

&lt;p&gt;“Maybe they won’t be too mad?”  She muttered and quickly headed in pulling lance along.  She ignored the family that was making their way to the car on the left side of the van.  Nope she didn’t make it so they couldn’t get in the passenger side of their car, it wasn’t her.  She also ignored when the family glared at her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Lance, you get anything on this outfit you are buying me a new one.”  She grinned at them when they were inside and out of sight of the family.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Lance” would have been pissed about the phasing if Kitty hadn’t made everything better by parking super close to that other car and pissing off that family. Mystique thought it was hilarious. “Lance” was laughing and laughing about it as he pulled Kitty along into the restaurant. “Baby, I’ll buy you a whole new wardrobe.” &lt;strike&gt;Well, Warren would…but no one needs to know about that, do they? No. &lt;/strike&gt; ”I’d like your best table please” He puffed up his chest a little, feeling real proud of himself as the waitress rolled her eyes at him. “Of course, sir.” Because clearly it’s Olive Garden, and not nearly as fancy as Mystique thinks it is. She doesn’t get a lot of vacation time. Kitty and “Lance” were led to a table upstairs, large and by the window. To be fair, it probably WAS their best table. “Lance” pulled out Kitty’s chair for her and smiled. “So tell me…” He began as he sipped his water. “How is life at the mansion treating you?”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/48537085052</link><guid>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/48537085052</guid><pubDate>Sun, 21 Apr 2013 13:08:11 -0400</pubDate><category>i laughed so hard about that car thing!</category></item><item><title>  </title><description>&lt;a href="http://shadowpridekitten.tumblr.com/post/46443579349/bluerthanvelvet-kitty-just-let-out-a-soft"&gt;  &lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;“Lance you always cause earthquakes without warning, its like attached to your moods or something.”  Kitty grinned at him to ensure him she wasn’t complaining.  ”Besides I thought you liked the dangerous life?”  She let out a laugh as she turned her attention more to the road.  Didn’t need to get in an accident even though she could just phase through anything in her path.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“No curfew here, I’m not a kid anymore Lance, or have you forgotten?  Trying to relive high school days?”  For some reason Kitty had gotten into a rather goofy mood.  Maybe it was because of the date?  She turned into Olive Garden’s parking lot to see that it was pretty packed.  ”Well it looks like we are gonna have a long wait, unless you want to go somewhere else?”  She asked not really to Lance as she was busy trying find a spot where the X-Van would fit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Yes…well hopefully I won’t cause any earthquakes here and accidentally get spaghetti on your pretty outfit.” “Lance” winked at her. Mystique gave herself credit in her head for being so damn smooth. She was getting the hang of this, or so she told herself at least. Also, she really wanted to get off the subject of the whole…abilities thing. “Baby, you’ll get plenty of danger with me…earthquakes or not. trust me.” Mystique almost liked the kid. Almost. It was hard to tell anymore, really. Years of using people had made it hard for her to actually know for sure. Then again, years of being used didn’t help either. “This place looks nice.” “Lance” turned to Kitty and smiled. “I’m game if you are. look, those people are leaving.” Pointing to a red mustang backing out at the end of the first row of cars. “I guess it’s meant to be…” &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/47652645945</link><guid>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/47652645945</guid><pubDate>Wed, 10 Apr 2013 18:49:53 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>  </title><description>&lt;a href="http://shadowpridekitten.tumblr.com/post/46443579349/bluerthanvelvet-kitty-just-let-out-a-soft"&gt;  &lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;Kitty grinned at Lance as a giddy feeling washed over her.  She was excited to go on this date, but she was also excited to drive.  The other’s have never been a fan of her driving, it was like they didn’t trust her!  She started to head for the garage again all while pulling Lance along.  ”This is gonna be great!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After they both got seated and buckled up, because Kitty is law abiding and will not start the car until everyone had their seatbelts on, she speed out of the garage and and down the driveway.  She didn;t even wait for the gates to open, she just phased the van right through it.  Just might be her favorite part of this date would be getting to drive as she pushed the speed limit going just slow enough to not get pulled over.  She glanced over to Lance with a huge grin on her face, not able to hide her excitement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mystique had probably heard at some point about Kitty’s abilities, but either she had forgotten or hadn’t thought about it…but either way she was terrified for a moment that they were driving into the gates and would be crushed like a soda can. “Lance” probably looked terrified as they sped away, because Mystique was surprised that they were still alive. She pulled herself together thought and smiled back as Kitty beamed at him. “You’re gonna have to warn a guy before you do that next time, you scared the hell out of me.” An exhale finally escaped “Lance’s” lips in relief. “I’d be sure to let you know if I was about to cause an earthquake.” She realized that even bringing it up was probably a terrible idea, because she couldn’t cause an earthquake even if she wanted to. Not that Kitty would want him to anyway though, so that was good. Mystique did wonder about the real Lance though, and wondered how long he would hold in that room. Long enough to cause some serious trouble probably. “You don’t have a curfew or anything right? I can keep you as long as I like?” &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/46568909353</link><guid>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/46568909353</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 Mar 2013 00:33:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>    </title><description>&lt;a href="http://shadowpridekitten.tumblr.com/post/46119095319/bluerthanvelvet-kitty-grinned-as-she-walked"&gt;    &lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Kitty just let out a soft laugh.  ”Only saying I am driving because some of the others might not be happy with a ‘bad boy’ driving the X-Van.”  She she grabbed a hold of his head and started walking to the garage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I don’t know, how about Olive Garden?”  She suggested as she turned to study his face.  She wanted to be sure that Lance would enjoy where they go.  After all they are both a part of this date and they both needed to enjoy it.  She wasn’t gonna let Lance not enjoy himself for her sake.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;“Right…yes…the others.” Mystique glanced around just in case there might actually be someone watching. There were mutants who might become suspicious. There were some mutants who would be able to see right through her..or smell rather. Like Wolverine. The would be bad. “Olive Garden sounds good.” Mystique didn’t even know what that was, but she figured Lance probably did…so she agreed without much thought. It was delayed, but “Lance” smiled awkwardly back at her. It had been a long time since Mystique had eaten anything decent..and now that she had some rich idiot’s credit card things were looking up. Hell, this chick wasn’t bad looking either. Things could be worse. An evil smirk spread across “Lance’s” lips where there was an innocent grin only moments before. “Ok then, you drive.” “Lance” squeezed Kitty’s hand in response.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/46349063054</link><guid>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/46349063054</guid><pubDate>Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:00:44 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>    </title><description>&lt;a href="http://shadowpridekitten.tumblr.com/post/45459546581/bluerthanvelvet-sounding-a-bit-greedy-their"&gt;    &lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/45458780494"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kitty grinned as she walked up to him trying to act calm even as a blush made itself known on her cheeks.  ”You look rather dashing yourself Lance.  You changed clothes?”  She was a little puzzled, but Kitty wasn’t gonna let that get in the way of a nice date.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She linked her arm through his and on the spur of the moment Kitty went on her tip toes to leave a small peck on his cheek.  ”What has turned this normal bad boy into such a dashing gentleman?”  She teased while still grinning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Where is your jeep?”  Kitty was perplexed as to why he was asking for another car.  ”I guess we can borrow the X-Van, but I’m driving then.”  We all know what a terrific driver Kitty is.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“I may be a bad boy, but I know how to treat a lady.” Sparkle sparkle charm and sparkle, mystique was laying it on thick. “My jeep…right, it’s….getting worked on.” Real smooth. Nailed it. “It wouldn’t be very gentlemanly to let you drive, but if you insist…how can I say no?” Mystique tried to subtly let Kitty guide them to wherever this “x-van” was, because she wasn’t familiar these grounds. “Where would you like to go tonight? Anywhere you like, you got it.” “Lance” bent his head down a little to allow Kitty to easier kiss his cheek. “I’m a lucky guy.”&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/45460550973</link><guid>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/45460550973</guid><pubDate>Fri, 15 Mar 2013 21:09:51 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>      </title><description>&lt;a href="http://shadowpridekitten.tumblr.com/post/44763101049/bluerthanvelvet-well-you-guys-just-keep"&gt;      &lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;“Sounding a bit greedy their Lance.”  Kitty sing-songed as she nearly pranced out of the room to go get ready.  She decided to ignore the what ever girls do comment, she didn’t want to start her first date off in a bad mood.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kitty had every intention of getting ready as quickly as possible, but that didn’t happen.  She decided to take a shower and then she had to decide on an outfit which felt like it took ages.  After that she had to do her hair and makeup, but then she decided it didn’t go with her outfit.  So then she had to think about what she wanted to change, and finally she decided to change her outfit and thus began the process of picking something else out.  &lt;strike&gt;It took her around 5 days to get ready.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She hurried back down to the sitting room where she left Lance.  Before entering Kitty collected her breath and tried to calm her nerves.  Then she reentered the room smiling shyly at Lance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mystique kept the stupid grin on Lance’s face until Kitty was out of sight, and then it was dropped like it was hot. She began rattling the handles on bedroom doors until one creaked open, revealing an empty room. Mystique grinned a devilish smirk to herself and chuckled a little. “Too easy.” The room was simple, though housing some very expensive items. She narrowed her gaze at the pricey electronics, plotting to come back later and steal it all. Mystique rummage around, finding some clean clothes to wear and…yep, look at that. A credit card. Left right there on the nightstand like a moron. This guy had a stupidly rich sounding name anyway, he deserved it. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Lance” quietly shut the door behind “him” before making his way back to the spot he had last seen Kitty. Luckily, he had beat her there by a few seconds and didn’t have to explain where he had just come from. “Do my eyes deceive me, or is it really possible for you to have gotten even more gorgeous than the last time I saw you?” He winked at her, offering his arm to her as he slipped the credit card in his pocket…the one that had “Warren Worthington III” printed in gold letters. “Know a place we can get a car by any chance?” &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/45458780494</link><guid>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/45458780494</guid><pubDate>Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:45:30 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>    </title><description>&lt;a href="http://shadowpridekitten.tumblr.com/post/44763101049/bluerthanvelvet-well-you-guys-just-keep"&gt;    &lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;“I’m not sure if that would be the best idea.  They might have started getting along again, but I am sure that they are still volatile if certain button are pushed.”  Kitty let out a halfhearted laugh as she thinks about the few recent fights she witnessed between the two.  ”Besides it would be extremely short notice to all of a sudden invite them.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kitty was having a hard time organizing her thoughts with how Lance was being all touchy so she gently extracted herself from his hold and grinned up at him.  ”Where did you have in mind anyways?  It is also short notice for me, so I hope you have something planned.  You’re not all talk are you Lance?”  She grinned at him as she lightly teased him.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;“Yeah you’re right, I want you all to myself anyway.” “Lance” grinned at her, trying to be cute and flirtatious. “I’ll tell you what. You got get all dolled up or whatever you girls call it and I’ll be here waiting when you get back to show you what a good time really looks like.” “He” stood up and waited for her reaction. There was some snooping Mystique needed to do and this was her chance. She also needed to steal someone’s clothes, and money. And then probably a car. Cyclops had like a million of those right? and people were taking them left and right like candy from a baby anyway. “Not that you don’t look perfect already.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/44824019892</link><guid>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/44824019892</guid><pubDate>Thu, 07 Mar 2013 20:13:51 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>    </title><description>&lt;a href="http://shadowpridekitten.tumblr.com/post/44509127599/bluerthanvelvet-i-think-magneto-and-the"&gt;    &lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/44418622018"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Well you guys just keep showing up, and some of you show up with the intention of burning the place.”  Kitty let out a sigh thinking about John.  ”So I wouldn’t really say welcomed…”  Really, how did it come to be that Kitty is hardly surprised to see some of the Brotherhood just randomly showing up?  ”I’m sure if some members of the Brotherhood show up it wouldn’t end on a positive note.  Such as if Mystique were to show up unannounced.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Well I got a text from Kurt earlier, but nothing else.  He had suggested that we double date with him and Victor.”  Kitty pulled out her phone to check again if there was a text she missed.  ”I guess I should text him again.”  Another blush worked its way up her face as she shyly looked up at Lance from her phone.  ”Unless you umm…  Want to postpone the double and want it to be just us?”  She could feel her heart in her throat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mystique smirked at the mention of her own name. well….Lance smirked rather. Kitty was scared of Mystique showing up and here she was, holding her hand and putting her arm around her. “Kurt?” That wouldn’t be good. Her relationship with her son was far from stable. If there was anyone who could blow her cover it would be Kurt. Her mind was screaming to abort mission, but she wasn’t going to. Perhaps she could simply shift things in her favor. “What if instead, we invited Iceman and Pyro to go out with us? You guys are friends aren’t you?” She actually had no idea, but all of these morons seemed to hang out with each other all the time. “Either way, I’m taking you out. A gorgeous girl like you deserves the best, and that’s exactly what you’re going to get.” She figured there was a credit card lying around somewhere she could steal. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/44685232539</link><guid>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/44685232539</guid><pubDate>Tue, 05 Mar 2013 23:28:03 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>  </title><description>&lt;a href="http://shadowpridekitten.tumblr.com/post/44329422305/bluerthanvelvet-i-really-dont-know-where-she"&gt;  &lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/44207027960"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I think Magneto and the Professor are a bit more mature and level headed than those two.”  Kitty grinned in reply.  Though once more she turned a scarlet color as Lance pulled her in.  She wasn’t sure when Lance got so touching, and she wasn’t sure how to respond.  Sure Kitty was obvious of his flirting and interest in her, but he wasn’t this obvious with it.  Maybe it was because they had started discussing going out and the possibility of starting something more than friendship?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kitty sputtered for a moment trying to organize her thoughts so that she could reply without making a complete fool of herself.  ”I guess, yeah.  i think we were talking about that.  You mean now?”  Her heart was pounding in her throat and she wasn’t sure if she made any sense at that moment.  She needed a little space so that she could calm herself and think properly!  With a small nervous laugh Kitty detached herself from Lance’s side and smiled nervously at him.  ”What did you have in mind?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I think you’d be surprised.” “Lance” muttered under his breathe in regards to the comment about Magneto and Xavier being mature and level headed. Mystique knew Erik better than anyone, and when it came to anything emotional he was about as mature as a 7 year old girl. Especially when it came to Charles Xavier. That was a relationship she didn’t even have any desire to understand. “So members of the brotherhood are just welcome here now? That’s good news, isn’t it?” She tried not to sound too sarcastic. “And yeah, let’s go now…why not?” Especially now, because who knows how long the real lance was going to stay locked up. Mystique knew the crafty little bastard would figure something out eventually and come looking for her. She needed to strike while the iron was hot. “Weren’t we supposed to be going out with another couple or something?” &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/44418622018</link><guid>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/44418622018</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 Mar 2013 21:01:54 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>  </title><description>&lt;a href="http://shadowpridekitten.tumblr.com/post/43866508396/bluerthanvelvet-kitty-had-a-settled-into-a"&gt;  &lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;“I really don’t know where she went off to.  I am pretty sure that she is ok though.”  Kitty wondered why Lance was asking but then chalked it up to the fact that for a brief moment before joining the X-Men Rogue was with the Brotherhood and thus a teammate of Lance’s at one point.  ”That is sweet of you Lance.”  Kitty grinned at his reason for inquiring about Rogue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Well the other day John came by and tried to set the institute on fire.  From there they have sort of been going back and forth on the friendship scale.  They are both pretty tempermental around one another.”  Kitty said distractedly as she thought about all the issues that they needed to work through, and how what ever relationship they have would be like this.  They are opposing elements after all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kitty turned a teasing grin on Lance.  ”Lance, you weren’t gone that long you know.  Only a few days!  Surly you can’t miss me that much!”  She had reached out to poke him in the side when instead he had grabbed her hand.  The grin fell from her face as a blush took over as she stared at their joined hands.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mystique listened to Kitty talk about Rogue and felt better. There weren’t many people that she had genuine feelings about but certainly her daughter was one of them. The only relationships she was capable of having were dysfunctional and complicated.Mystique didn’t know much about love or compassion. For her, emotions were muted at best. “Sounds like Pyro and Iceman are the makings of the next Magneto and Professor X, huh?” And she laughed. It was Lance’s voice but it was a strange and different sounding cackle than would normally come out of his mouth. The relationship between Charles and Erik had always made her sick. The last thing she wanted was the next generation running around. She brought her attention back to the present. Putting her arm around kitty, “Lance” pulled her in close to be snuggled up beside “him.” “Don’t I owe you a date, gorgeous?”&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/44207027960</link><guid>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/44207027960</guid><pubDate>Thu, 28 Feb 2013 02:42:04 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>  </title><description>&lt;a href="http://shadowpridekitten.tumblr.com/post/43866508396/bluerthanvelvet-kitty-had-a-settled-into-a"&gt;  &lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;“Well I don’t think you spent any time in this area, unless you have been doing some sneaking around that I am not aware of?”  Kitty poked him in the side giving him a mock suspicious look.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kitty grabbed hold of Lance’s arm and lead him out of the game room to a room with no other students.  ”Well, no one to bandage up since John and he left with you.  Talked with Kurt, so pretty good I believe.”  Kitty replied as she sat on the couch in the small sitting room she lead Lance to.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“You really haven’t missed much, that i am aware of.  Rogue went off somewhere I think, and Kurt has been with Victor.  I believe John came back to talk to Bobby about something, but I am not sure what.”  Kitty rambled a bit as she listed off what she knew that happened.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;“Where did Rogue go?” She hadn’t meant to sound that interested, or concerned but Mystique did feel protective of the girl. Quite a bit so in fact. She knew she needed to run damage control immediately. “Well…I know that you’re friends…and everything so, I was just concerned for your feelings.” &lt;em&gt;Yes that’s right, stumble over your words like a boy with a crush. perfect. &lt;/em&gt;“Lance” laughed, seemingly nervous. “And John came to talk to Bobby. That’s pretty weird…isn’t it?” Mystique certainly thought so. What could he possibly want from the iceman. Last she heard Pyro hated Bobby more than anyone in the world. Now they were chums? It didn’t add up. It was worth exploring, and she would get to that just as soon as she got the full scoop on this Lance/Kitty situation. “I know I sure missed you while I was gone.” Mystique made herself sick talking like that. She reached out to hold Kitty’s hand. she still wasn’t sure if Lance and Kitty were really an item or if they were just flirting. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/44019455932</link><guid>http://bluerthanvelvet.tumblr.com/post/44019455932</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:07:00 -0500</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
