the day after
walsh scored an invite to a carb-a-que at RON's!
ron looks great, beautiful home and, as always, hosts a great party.
much of my night was spent repenting. and taking shit about my muffin top. these snapshots were taken by our guest photographer 'gail from slc'
the aforemention muffin top. argh.
