I love it!

Did you DIY? OR did you pay a shop to do it?

Can I know how much if you don't mind? Scratch easily?

Yeah, I know...It's just that the day that you went to do the "photoshoot" when JP called me, I thought it was just some random day that he decided not to "work" and go with you. I didn't know it was a "formal" shoot until after... All good.

btw, I showed my cousin your feature and when he opened it up he was like, "That's not Frank!"...LOL...He said you should've insisted that you be in the pics with the chick!
