Shades Of White [GUEST POST] | Blogtober Day 10

By Maria “Tzing Fung” Baker I remember many years ago after summer break, when I returned for another year at school, my friends and I, as we always did after a tediously hot summer, placed our arms in the middle of our circle, lining them up to compare the shades like a very uniformed and […]

Big Booty Culture: I Got A Flat Ass! | Blogtober Day 9
