I have a BA in Theatre and Film Studies from Bristol University in England, I am also a trained journalist. I worked for a morning daily newspaper in Bath for two years, then moved to Salt Lake, acted professionally for a few years, and joined the team at IN This Week, an entertainment niche product […]
I was a very sad, awkward, transitioning Tom Boy. Trying to get boys to like me instead of friend zoning me to get closer to my friends. At 11 I obviously didn’t know what I was doing I would always sneak shirts from my sister’s closet who was 4 1/2 years older then me, because she […]
This one has it all: big glasses, poofy feathered hair, braces, ruffled business suit, and all that beauty hiding underneath! But now it shows even more!
