Well, I’m sorry, but I am so not sorry anymore. (more…)

The Ultimate Teeny Weeny Challenge
Monday, September 15th, 2014
I thought to myself: what kind of challenge could I create that could be just as interesting as the ALS challenge but also address the sexuality double standard? I knew there had to be something that would fit the Beyond Babedom readership. . . (more…)
