Becoming Annie…
Annie Savoy first became a chick hero in 1988. She taught us a man worth his salt can unhook a garter in a single move, will join us in the bath and is willing to dance about the living room to R & B from the 50's. In a bathrobe and socks. Athletic socks. Poor… Continue reading Becoming Annie…
