Hiatus
We here at Literary Makeovers are going to be taking a vacation for a couple of months, traveling the globe, learning new beauty secrets, and staying with our mother, who does not have Photoshop on her computer. We'll be back in June. Until then, if you can think of any writers in need of our help, leave your suggestions here. And, to everyone who's asked--yes, it's too soon to do Kurt Vonnegut.

Hello, great job! Here are my top candidates for a sea change of the radical sort: Elizabeth Barrett Browning; Hans Christian Andersen; Alexander Pope (check him out here http://www.ourcivilisation.com/smartboard/shop/popea/pope.jpg ) and his buddy Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, disfigured by smallpox, poor thing; that disgusting rake Samuel Pepys; that arch-disgusting rake Samuel Johnson; Dante of the punky-spiky laurel wreath; Voltaire of the famished countenance; and Gertrude Stein, who looks like a hopeless case... Keep up the good work :))
Ohhhh, and surely Christina Rossetti?
If only for
"Sweeter than honey from the rock,
Stronger than man-rejoicing wine,
Clearer than water flowed that juice;
She never tasted such before,
How should it cloy with length of use?
She sucked and sucked and sucked the more
Fruits which that unknown orchard bore,
She sucked until her lips were sore" (Goblin Market)
