This is charming Tina. For it

Posted on Sun, 15 Jun 2014

This is charming Tina. For it's hilarity, plus the voice you've created is so typical of that class in that era.

A forever relationship is as

Posted on Fri, 02 May 2014

A forever relationship is as fitting as a comfy chair and the luxury of a night dress at noon and an artist that knows beauty isn't youth but compassion. Stunning.

I always fondly jest my partner for bringing uncool cumbersome flasks of...

Our society's a dystopian

Posted on Sat, 26 Apr 2014

'The one' is hundreds of

Posted on Tue, 01 Apr 2014
