that little girl, so hot she’s scalding
Don’t worry, I’m just having my semi-regular Ha Ha Tonka related head injury. This time prompted by their upcoming new record, which is still two months away from being in my hands, a fact that is currently driving me up a wall.

Just a supplement, not a replacement. This adorable 18 month old lives downstairs. She and her parents let me do a test shoot with them, where we all…
