I have a little confession to make
Everytime I see Magenta's name pop up, I think of the Rocky Horror Picture Show !!
And if you've ever seen it live......... 
Caz x
That's where it comes from. When I meet someone who recognizes it like you and Setanta, I always feel like I've found someone awesome :) I thought if the maid-alien married the nerd, the moniker resulting was was elegant; a preferred pen name to the uncouth fiction short stories I wrote for 'zines in high school and college. I shudder to think what dregs I've left behind with it (ed note: A google search revealed Majors is so old her posts from *newsgroups* show up), but I get to pick and choose which history I want. My past is multiple choice :) To reference yet another pop tv show, "Who's really signing that contract, Don?"
nom de plume = da bomb.
Also, I was thinking of that not very nice guy from the walking dead. Though the wild and uneven character development meant he ended up pretty rockin' at the end, and his zombie scene was by far the most touching. Way better than Sophie's.
ohhhh... maybe it was. My bad. I may not have had enough coffee today.
It was that. The offensive band has a different guy with that name, they're called G G Allin (Do NOT google at work - they need attention and will go to any lengths to get it!)
