ps. Word to the Hecklesauce:  I am no longer on bindi probation as my new friend on the Ave. has taught me how to keep the lil body stickers on right--a packet of yumminess for myself and Raquelisimia, and some new incense too.  I contemplate the food I buy as fuel for bi-pedalin' around the city and the bindis provide sheer, sexy, reflection.  Stay tuned as R & I ramp and amp it up with our body jewelry.  :)

No longer on Bindi Probation means Rachel and I will be rocking the yums.  Come kiss our forehead and give us a squeeze.  We love you!  :)
