11/30 Hello!

hello!

Don't mind the frizzy hair. No time for product.

And an outtake from the 11th. I tried to get a photo with Alexis and this was the only one in focus. It looks like she's saying, "Yesss!" I find it hilarious!

I don't know why she's leaning back like that.

Theory from Manda:
Maybe she was just air guitaring to some tunes in her head.
It happens.


Also note the second binky in her hand.
The only thing better than one binky?
Two binkys.
