Personal fashion and musings
You know those days where everything seemingly goes wrong and the smallest of interruptions irritate you? A prime example reared its ugly, sleep-deprived head a couple of weeks back. My attitude from the second my alarm slapped me bluntly out of a deep early morning slumber was one of bitterness and stubborn reactions. Rather than [...]
I have never witnessed an audience quite like the one present the night I got all dolled up for The High Low Experience.
