This colorful, sometimes humorous film put me through an emotional ringer and the gooey special effects laden conclusion rocked me in ways I haven’t been rocked in literal decades.

Augustine Washington also left behind some surveying tools, which …

Found Photo Is it perhaps a big hair competition between a younger and an older woman? If so, the younger woman won with the biggest beehive. As perhaps suits their ages, though, the older woman’s smooth updo looks refined compared the other’s concoction, with its fluffy high curls.
