1-900-Very-Famous: Cruisin’ USA and Designer Coffins
Hello, Very Famous universe!
Sometimes I spend so much of my day staring into the cold, light-pink hole of the internet content minefield, that I feel too dead inside to churn up any compelling and strange thoughts on anything. This is neither here nor there, but it’s a battle I fight with myself that I figured I’d talk about, in two sentences, with you right now.
Hopefully, the things below do something for you!
XOXOXXX,
Kelsey
