Site Update I recently shutdown a number of accounts at social networking sites. This site contained a number of widgets and links to those sites. So, I decided it was time for a little bit of a facelift to the site’s theme. The new theme is meant to be much more clean and compact. The [...]
Last Friday, Jay and myself went to Quente II. Quente is a fashion show that was hosted by Noot Seear to benefit Rose Charities.
