I Love You Baby - Milk Duds:
Fondu Yolanda´s Fond Memories of Henry Fonda´s Honda on Golden Ponda

I Love You Baby has all kinds of ideas, some good, some bad.

They are currently doing things that they shoud be doing. Things that other people don't like to do. Things that they care about. They plan to do these things until they decide as a individuals whether they don't like to do these things, or they do like to do these things as a group.

They hope to last for 50 million years.

Nick Meriwether - One Monument Please

Meriwether doesn't photograph wine and cheese, at least we don't think he does. It's just really important to him that you know that both will be served at the reception. To be perfectly honest we have no idea what to expect, but Joanna openings are always a blast, and the work is usually worth a look.
