I wouldn’t really call sexting creative, and I’m pretty sure no one would argue it’s classy.If you have to get the idea to ‘sext’ from a magazine, perhaps it’s… Continue reading When did sexting become so mainstream?
What the what?
Subject line reads: It’s been 6 months since your wedding…And now, I need a baby website?!Are you kidding me? My sole purpose in life is not to become a wife so that I can become an incubator.
