Desktop For the Girls

My girlfriend has been begging for me to make her a desktop so I finally got around to making it lol. She liked everything I had on my desktop but didn't understand half of it so I only put the basic Geektool scripts she would need on there. :) The text on the desktop is created with Geektool. The icons are a mix of several different packs. Finally the taskbar is changed using Magnifique and theme Milky Giaia. The links for everything is down below. The Album art is put on the desktop using Coversutra.
