Okay, truth? I think I like your hair wild better. But wild with the corkscrew pins. Perfect combo.
Jenny, maybe my wild hair is like your red dress. I just have to get to that point inside my head.
Juliette, I will remain silent on your comment. Because I’m laughing too hard to concentrate.
Jess, stroke away, baby. and has anyone else noticed my J theme in this comment thread?
