maybe it will distract people from how drunk you are
when you get back from the thanksgiving holiday, you’ll be gearing up for the holiday office party. if you want to make a mark, consider buying some eye jewelry by designer eric klarenbeek, a dutch designer. klarenbeek’s “unique” eye jewelry is made of “tiny crystals or flowers that hang directly from the eye via micro-thin [...]

a little more than a year after leaving cnn, [...]
