It’s summer in Florida already. The sweat and the makeup are pouring from my skin. It occurs to me, like a wet, humid slap in the face, that I need to make some adjustments to my makeup routine…

If you are anything like me, you take your fashion seriously. Our style, after all, is a statement of identity and one of our greatest avenues for self expression. So, when I recently found myself at dinner with two of my favorite toy whores the topic of toy-bag essentials came up.
