I Drew A Face On You While You Were Wearing My Hoodie!
Punny? Not even a little … But courtesy of jkairit1, I can bring up a topic that Bob Shedd raised the other day. It’s a little tangential, but the picture of the dude wearing his girlfriend’s hooded sweatshirt made me think of it. The topic: dudes who have “girly” shirts in their collections. It came […]
A BIN You Can Smell In The Air
