Killer Breasts

A woman made a comment recently that reminded me of a near death experience I had with a pair of monster breasts. I feel lucky to have survived. At this point in my life I am proud of the man I have become. I was born with gifts that are individual to me and one … More Killer Breasts

Shall We Dance?
