read all posts by Faith HunterI met James last year and fell in love. He’s kinda scary and big and has fab tats–the bad-boy all girls dream of, even if I am old enough to be his…big sister. Yeah.

Leave it to a fanged fashionista to come up with care labels for minions. You wouldn’t machine wash your dry-clean only clothes.

“The Care and Feeding of Minions” by Gina Covello, summer issue of Modern Goth Magazine
