Before you SUBMIT

Although some of us may like to play rough, before submitting your dark offerings, please keep in mind that Squidoo is a family oriented site and this group is for dark, not dirty, lenses so please don't submit any adult lenses. Anything I find distasteful will be quietly swept away.

If you aren't sure if your lens fits this group, please send it along anyway and let me be the judge.


Congratulations to all of you! The Gothic Temptations group has recently been awarded the Excellent Groups Award. This wouldn't have been possible without your consistent hard work and I'd like to take this moment to thank each and every one of you!
