I think the director is my mums cousin. What a small and secretive world this is. I never new about this! It's very good though.

This is great. It should be extended into a full length feature. I would definitely pay to see that.

Frothy coffee with a twist of dark bitter chocolate. Very well made. (PS Hope the cough doesn't develop into myxomatosis.)

I took a small course in burlesque! I loved it! It was on Showtime's Sexual Healing. I like this video! Well done!
