VitamininMotion looks fashionably Betty Boop crossed with Cyndi Lauper.
I hear winsome windsongs in the background! And Amber’s feeling pretty hip that she has almost the exact same vest.

I feel like an imposter, judging these beautiful outfits while wearing, ahem, what I’m wearing. I’m just a shmuck with a computer, not Isabella-friggin-Blow. Needless to say, wardrobe remix is “blowing” our collective twin mind.
She’s a hot female M-Jag.
Those BOOTS. Girls with hair that pretty should not be allowed such things. It’s just not fair. [...]
oh my.
i recently came across this old article about a crazy cosmetic torture device designed by Max Factor:
