The most important question?

Although Lag Wagon sings that the kids are all wrong, they do sometimes have something brilliant in their simplicity. With kids, I naturally mean very young ones, nearly babies.

Pain

It’s that time of year – much like the negative image of a dog I tend to grow my hair in the summer and shed it in the winter. There is method behind this madness and it comes down to one simple fact, and one that underpins so much of male dress sense (at least where [...]

Kiss me and pinch my nipple…hard…harder…mmmmm
