Yo!
I definitely remember this trip to Europe.
Who didn't go through a business casual laser tag phase?
That was my 12th or 15th birthday party. It's tough to count those candles.
I did a brief stint as an NPC.
When traveling, it's important to dress and pack appropriately.
I forget which airport this was, but I wish I had worn my shorter shorts.
As you can see, I enjoy the fresh air.
I loved that horse.
His name was Ned.
Have you seen my microfilm?
I absolutely remember this trip.
I always say, 'Match your gloves to your tie.'
Scarf modelin'
I like night.
I definitely remember this trip.
I have both a passion and aptitude for smoke machines.
On the catwalk...
I call this look 'Beige Steel'
Beach vibes with my hovering necklace.
Relaxing at home with my two sweaters and a trench coat.
I think this was the United Club in Newark?
I almost forgot I was a chauffeur in London.
Here I am after returning my Xfinity modem.
At the time, it seemed like a good idea to put the Christmas tree on the patio.
I was very cold, but the mirth kept me warm.
I call this look 'existential snow.'
How is my hand in my pocket through my coat?
I have read every one of these very real books.
I'm not sure what's going on here. Aliens?
Bonjour!
My secret to playing guitar? Six fingers on my left hand.
Not to be confused with Count Rugen, who had 6 fingers on his right hand.
