Guess I need to include this one as the antithesis, even though it makes me want to whinny and rear up to clomp someone on the head. On a positive note, we'll also be featuring "Girls Rock," Green Global Girls & the Girls Get Real tour as well as deconstructing 'pink think' etc." ---It's kinda like "The Pussycat Dolls/Equine Version"...clearly concur on the shower. bleh. Seems 'Strutz' should've never made it outta the stable of product dev in this iteration. "Katy, bar the door..." Hey Lisa, as I just posted in the comments on Echidne of the Snakes’ site:
