Christmas, LA Style

elbeno, 21 December, 2009

The sun is shining, the grass is green, the orange and palm trees sway…

And I am driving through the neighbourhood when I see a woman standing outside her house. She’s blond, tanned, and “dressed” in a red bra, panties, and heels – you know, for Xmas. And her photographer friend is taking her Xmas photos.
