I've told people for years that I was born a decade too late. I know, hands down, I would have been a bra burner. You can ask my boyfriend how often I complain about bras. What a stupid invention. (Genie Bras on the other hand... lol) So last night, we were flipping through stations trying to find something to … [read more]
