he had me commission this the night before...it's button-less for his little 3 month old baby!

we just liked this guy's shirt ... and he liked it too! (legalize gay - repeal prop 8 now!)

she told me that her son's favorite color is green...and he takes markers and draws on his cheeks and says that she can't wash them off because green is his favorite color...

another proud owner of a condom bag holder!!!

i was away from the table at a workshop (and also taking a nap in the wellness room...)...and when i returned these two were trying on neck cozies, posing with ipod cozies/hand puppets and taking photos...so i took one too!

this gentleman got us back in the building after it had been closed the previous night...and purchased this for someone special!

me and danica marie (buddy, carpooler, sister trinidadian, big earrings)
