Don’t Make It Weird

Sasquatch

Sasquatch

I have never once been accused of being sexy. This is just blasphemous, frankly, given my near endless supply of whistle-worthy qualities. How any guy could have witnessed my walk men have so kindly described as “goofy,” and “I don’t know, it’s just kinda weird,” […]
