BEARDSPLOITATION: A Man-ifeasto

16 Feb

  I LOVE objectification. I am basically checking everybody out all the time. Regardless of sex or gender. I am like a randy teenage boy and a middle-aged female vampire all rolled into one. Also, as I like to say because it is very true: I am a gay bear, trapped in a woman’s body. It [...]

Ultimately, we’d get caught in the service halls trying to draw a penis on a wall somewhere, [...]
