Holiday Jewels

December 21st, 2009

As I was doing promotions for Gays on Ice on Adam4Adam, I spotted an ad for their Kinky Christmas Sale and I had to check it out. Two items in particular got the ELEMENT crew all giddy with chatter.

Seriously, what was up with everyone and their mom sporting a mohawk?  There were so many around it even sparked a discussion on Connexion’s Q&Q. I have a confession to make, I had been growing out my hair prior to pride with the intent of getting [...]
