So today is the 7th anniversary of this blog and coincidentally/not coincidentally the birthday of my brother, David. Though he only lived 31 short years pretty much anyone who met and knew him will never forget him. Besides his stunning beauty he had a strong, mesmerizing energy that radiated from him constantly and a diva-like drive for perfection. I miss you, big guy.
And now on with the show!
