Bar Hopping.
I wish I had taken some pics of Yong getting his Hulk on and taking down all the shelves and the closet. Alas, I did not. So we’re left with these: Sexy right? I know. Now all we need is a bar.

Closet Sensation
So one thing I really wanted to tackle was my mom’s closet (which we share).
