  • I Dare You…

    I went back to my notes, to see what categories I wanted to remember this year (for images and stories), and Femme Fatale came up again. I love that category. Something I’ve noticed, besides the fact that cigarettes are popular among these seductresses, is that their lips are usually bold… and often pouty. The majority…
