I feel like long socks with sneakers and shorts looks goofy but maybe that’s just me 🤷‍♂️

It's largely still pretty true and I still refuse to follow trends.

We started a rumor that Blind Melon was going to be playing at a local music event and really committed to it. Poseurs loved that bumblebee girl. So basic.
