SMILE… Beck Trumbo

(UN) NATURAL BEAUTY? Soo Joo
Meet Soo Joo. You’ll be seeing her again on this blog? I love blond Asian girls, in particular the kind that risk their long shining black hair to go aggressively platinum. ?It requires a certain je ne sais quoi or in plain English, balls. * Finishing touches… bleached brows and glossy black nails.
