Redistribution of Assets

I have one of these. But I can’t wear it anymore. It’s a shame because it’s beautiful.  But it is now inappropriate.  And a little depressing. I peek at it from time to time.  Snuggled up in its little box in the back of a drawer. After the moment of joy from looking at something […]
