Hey, there's NOTHING wrong with Drag. Or makeup on men, which is a different thing but still ok. Going whole-hog while plowing a couch? Yeah, that's gross. But the eyeshadow isn't a crime - at least he does better than YamTits when it comes to makeup.

Fuck. I got JD and George Santos mixed up. But you are correct. I apologize. And thank you for calling me out. I should have gone with the couch. I might take a social media break while on prednisone. It has me all over the place. And for the record, I love the Tux-dress.
