Adorable! But Is she ok? why is she there? Will she survive??
Fernando Prados
Nice photo Joshua. I'd like to know about the gloves. Are they nitrile gloves? Sometime ago I was using similar gloves made of Lycra and polyurethane but the factory ended the production and I cannot find those gloves anymore. Regards, Fernando
