SomeCowgirl @SomeCowgirl (32191) • United States 2 Jul 12

Growing up, I would wear jeans even if it was hot outside. I didn't like to wear shorts or anything like that. Mostly it was because I didn't want to shave, or this was before I was "allowed to shave." I will wear a skirt or...

thresholdofreality I don't really wear jeans unless I feel like dressing up a bit or the weather's cold. They're a bit too uncomfortable for my taste, as most pairs I own are skinny jeans. They do look REALLY good though... Anyway, I mostly wear jean shorts because they're very...

thresholdofreality Hey there Sheila! Try leaving them offline messages instead of emails. Maybe you guys just aren't going online at the same time and that's why you're all missing each other (chatwise, of course). I'm sure they would love to hear from you though - it's always...

Yanzalong @yanzalong (18987) • Indonesia 22 Jan 12
