HolyMother

I’ll see your Our Lady Of Rude Kustoms and raise you a scorpion tattoo! This shining example of Extreme Decorative Engrish goes on to inexplicably include God and France in an unholy existential alliance:

James Ziskin, Anthony, Barry, and Macavity Award-winning author of the Ellie Stone mysteries
