Out of the Nest: Sheena from Clandestine Chic
Today’s guest blogger is Sheena from the wonderful style blog, Clandestine Chic. Her story is one that is particularly close to The Demoiselles, as Jennifer Nicole and Elle are both well-endowed – and have been since their youth.

Article Outrage: Boycott Pond’s. Now.
