Vanity Fare
Contrary to my Jersey girl heritage, I don’t have long nails or airbrushed designs or little rhinestones on my fingertips. I just get a layer of acrylic and polish piled on top of my real nails to make me less … Continue reading
Weird Friends
My friend Allison’s boyfriend proposed to her when they were on the Kissing Bridge at a Renn Faire… wearing color co-ordinated garb. I’m not mocking Renn faires, really. I like the shows, the food, the flirty boys and the knife-throwing … Continue reading
