 Siriusly Whacked!

As twisted as she is beautiful, we would be completely remiss in our duties as HMGIC if we didn't include Bellatrix Lestrange in this episode of psych hoars.  Never fear, she was the inspiration for the latest installment.  Who could ask for a more shining example of everything we hold dear?
