“You Had Wooden Teeth!”

Posted on 13/11/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

As a Brit, I wasn’t able to watch the Emmy Awards ceremony this week (or rather, I couldn’t be bothered downloading the whole thing, just for a few moments of interest), so I’m grateful to HelloGiggles for posting a handy summation … Continue reading →
