Back

(I seriously cannot resist this INFINITE shout-out)

Exam is over! Finally! 

Yes, that's why I've been missing out on covering some of the most exciting K-Pop releases in a while. My admission exam is done, and now I can finally get back to K-Pop and writing and everything else I love. I already have so many posts planned, but first off: 2PM comeback! The ultimate sexy idols (sorry SISTAR, I love you too) are finally back, and yes, it's Jun.K's composed song! I have been waiting for this for months, ever since All Day I Think About You, which was a really good song-- it was disappointing it and the whole fantastic Grown album didn't get the deserved love and attention. Hopefully Go Crazy fares better. 

And so, here it is:

A great way to come back to K-Pop after my study hiatus~

I'll be back to posting soon, and I'll be cleaning up the blog as well. 

Well, that's it for now. S2

My Wattpad Writing

People. I will follow through on my bet when WINNER officially debut. Oh, my Hoya, I'm so sorry but I love you and it's not a lie...

So this is basically about my writing on Wattpad, namely my hiatus.

People, I am so sorry. To be perfectly honest, I just got plain lazy. I was having fun updating my blog, and checking out other stuff, that I just stopped writing. My fire for my Wattpad petered away, while that for my blogging just exploded.

It is probably directly related to the fact that Suzuki left. I know everyone hated him, but I loved that fucker. I love writing characters like that, they're so interesting. So when he left, it was just really, really sad for me.

So, yes, spoiler: he will be back.

And my exams are back again, this time in January. I'm a little behind this time around, so I don't know how long I can update regularly, but I'll try and release as much as possible, or write ahead so I can have my sis upload for me while I study :)

That's all my update for now. I'll leave you with some gorgeous Hoya and Hyunseung pictures.

Hoya #1

Hoya #2

Hoya #3

Last Hoya, I promise

Hyunseung #1

Hyunseung #3

And pretty Hyunseung at the end.

I'm out.

Also, big news! My new blog, Love Stock, has just opened up! Well, it has no posts except an introduction one, so I guess it isn't really big news >.> I'm also working on my other new blog, to cater to all your fanfiction needs ;)

That's all for now, hope you enjoy reading and staring at pictures of really good-looking guys ;)

Ha, Let me talk about my

B2ST shoutout. Love those boys too much.

Just some updates. If anyone cares. No? Okay.

First off, in my non-internet life, I got my GCE results. For math, anyway-- that's the only subject I finished this June. I got an A. Happy right? No, because I was one mark away from an A*. One fucking mark. I hate life. Or fate or destiny or whatever the hell it is that made me almost make my parents super-happy and boastful, but now they're just... normal-happy and somewhat-proud. (My family's, like, typical Asian if you don't know). So yeah, destiny, you suck and I hate you.


Okay, now that I've got my INFINITE shoutout out of the way, I can talk about my writing. I've recently gotten some of my writing passion back, but I'm sorry, it's not for my Wattpad story, but rather my novel. It's gone through a major rewrite, pretty much rendering all the story and characters I built for three years useless, but it's definitely for the best.

Speaking of my Wattpad account, I'm really, really sorry to say that I'll be going on a hiatus. A temporary one, I hope, but I can't really say for now. Followers, I really do want to thank you so, so much for sticking with my and my occasionally shitty writing-- I do love you all. But I sat down at my word document one day and couldn't get anything good out. Now that I've set daily goals for my novel I really do need to work on it, and it really does eat into my time, what with my blogging and all too. Whether or not I actually accomplish my daily goal is not important.
I love you guys, and I hope you don't hate me too much. I didn't leave you in too bad a place, did I? I'm sorry.

I'm actually going to be starting up two new blogs. One is for this once-buried project of mine, a fusion of music and drawing, which I've recently rediscovered. Another is actually for... dun dun dun... fanfiction. People, I have only ever written one fanfiction, about Mukuro and Byakuran of the manga/anime Katekyo Hitman Reborn. It wasn't really the greatest. I have no fucking idea why I suddenly feel like writing more fanfiction, but I do, and I don't want to do it in this pure, innocent blog.
That's right ;)
Also, the only fanfiction I've ever written was about characters, while these new ones will be about... K-Pop-- what the hell is wrong with me? I told myself writing fanfics about real people was fucking weird and that I'd never do it, so why am I suddenly interested now? Well, just goes to show, you really can never predict the future.
Oh, the name for this K-Pop fanfiction blog is currently undecided, so if you have a good idea, please don't hesitate to drop a comment :)

That's all the updates for now. Thanks for reading, and thanks for sticking with me. S2

July is an Awesome Month, People

And let me tell you why.

• Junsu had his comeback. I already put up my thoughts on his 11am Special Clip, and you can rest assured I’ll be putting one up for the Incredible MV soon. Also, he had his showcase, that I very narrowly missed out on, and instead spent the time immediately afterwards reading everyone’s tweets about him.

It’s not like I could’ve watched it anyway. Yes, there was a livestream, but internet connection is shit. So instead I just fangirled afterwards, while staring intently at pictures.

• B.A.P comeback! After Coffee Shop, B.A.P have released the teasers for their new Hurricane MV, out on the 17^th. I have no idea what to expect. At the time of writing I only have DaeJae teasers, and they look terribly posh (the video was shot in Las Vegas). The name, though, isn’t one you’d necessarily associate with posh. Still, I am so, so excited, and Daehyun and Youngjae look so, so good.

Wait, just got the Yongguk and Himchan teasers… why? Why do you part Himchan’s hair like that? Why?!

• B2ST comeback! 

-dies of B2uty pride rush-

    -comes back to fangirl-
After pre-released tracks Will You Be Okay? and I’m Sorry, B2ST have released the tracklist for their upcoming album, all songs having been co-composed by our super-awesome Junhyung. People, fangirling over B2ST is not anything cringe-worthy. It’s something to be proud of. B2ST are awesome, and you can expect awesomeness, because they will always deliver. I expect them to win a couple of music shows, alongside:

• INFINITE’s comeback. They are INFINITE. I’ve just very recently become an INFINITE fan (though I’ve long been a fangirl of Hoya), and it’s quite lucky for me too, since they’re coming back with new song Destiny. I adore the members, yes, but damn it if they beat B2ST because I will always be a B2uty first.

So what can you expect from me this month?

• A review post on Junsu’s Incredible MV
• A review of Junsu’s Incredible album, which is said to be spectacular (if I can get my hands on it, no promises)
• B2ST comeback song review (and their album, if I can)
• B.A.P’s Hurricane MV review
• INFINITE’s Destiny MV review

I don’t know if I can pull it all off, but damn it, I’m trying. Until then: 

There’s never enough Junsu.

Stuck with Him: Oh, What a Ride it was

If you’re here, chances are you’ve just come from finishing Stuck with Him. First things first: I love you. I love everyone– not only those who actually cared enough to come and read my rambling, but anybody who voted, commented, or even read the story. All my fans, all my readers– you guys are my Wattpad soul. I would never have finished this story if it weren’t for you all. I thank everyone.

The title pretty sums up my whole Stuck with Him experience. When I started the story, I felt nothing about it but an attraction to that smexy guy’s picture I’d found while looking for pictures for Keith, Anne’s older brother from Hiding a super hot, pervert guy on the run in my room (okay, that was a long title. Not writing that huge name again). I didn’t really find one that fit him perfectly, but the picture I did get was awesome and I thought it would be a shame if he didn’t get his own story.

Thus started Stuck with Him, or as it was first known, I have to share a room with this hot, stuck-up jerk? FML (don’t judge me. We couldn’t write story descriptions back then, okay? You basically had to fit the description in the title). I decided that instead of writing a guy who fit my own fantasies, I’d write one who didn’t. I also went for a complete opposite of the cute, girly Anne, in the strong, feisty Claire.

I have to say, I was completely stunned with the reception it got. When I posted the first chapter, Hiding a super hot, pervert guy on the run in my room was sitting at #3 on What’s Hot, so I did expect a good reading for I have to share a room with this hot, stuck-up jerk? FML’s first chapter. But I most definitely didn’t expect #1 after the first chapter. I was ecstatic, I really was. I was just glad people liked it, and not only Hiding a super hot, pervert guy on the run in my room, as it meant they might like my writing in itself.

Well, a lot of stuff happened during Stuck with Him’s life. The main one would have to be my one year hiatus. When I stopped writing then, I really thought I wouldn’t write for Wattpad ever again. It just seemed like a huge task on my weekly to-do list, and it didn’t really… satisfy me. I think what really stopped me was the starting of my own novel. I got so wrapped up in it, I couldn’t bear to write anything else.

But I am a lazy git. It’s been one and a half years, and I have written four pages. Yay me. Well, I did write more than one hundred pages in total (and about another hundred in a very rough draft that reads like an eleven-year-old’s work). I just deleted it all when I realized it was all shit. Well, not deleted– it’s still there. I like to read it and think about how far I’ve come. It feeds my ego.

Whoa, I sidetracked so easily there. Right. Back to Stuck with Him. So I went on hiatus. I just went on my mail once in a while to clean out the inbox (because the thought of anything being completely full freaks me out. I hate it). I saw all these messages and comments, people telling me they loved my stories, and asking if I would write again. And I did feel bad, but I ignored it. Damn, I was a bitch.

And then I finally got one asking me if I was dead. That was pretty much the last stroke. I had to come back. I started on Hiding a super hot, pervert guy on the run in my room as that one had progressed further, and seemed more popular (damn, now that I write this down, I sound terrible. I am terrible). So, I finally finished it, and it was awesome. I loved writing it at the end– it was so my style, all dark and action, with an insane, obsessive character to boot. Word of caution: I love bordering-on-insane characters. They are a joy to write and read about.

Anyway, after I’d finished Hiding a super hot, pervert guy on the run in my room (so much for not writing that long name again.), I thought about quitting again, but then decided against it and started up Stuck with Him again. And I haven’t regretted it.

Mainly because in that one year hiatus I had changed so much. Before, I preferred writing Anne and Travis’s story, because I related with Anne so much more. At fourteen, I was cute and girly, shy and usually spacing out. I wanted a Travis, a guy who was hot and pervy, and could open up new things for me (no. I do not mean that in a perverted way. Get your head out of the gutter, and I’ll do the same). After the hiatus, however, I was pretty much Claire. I’m much tougher now, much bitchier, more fiery. My tastes have changed too. I always wanted a fun guy, one who’d laugh along to anything. Now, recognizing myself as someone who can be very mean, I want a guy who’ll fight back during an argument. Not someone who’ll just lie down and take it, because that would make me feel shitty afterwards. I want… an Ashley.

So now, before I bore you any further, I really have to thank some very special Wattpaders. So, here goes:

Abrocks

Who remembers Abrocks? Only me? She disappeared a little before I went on hiatus. I felt such a connection to her, as she was a McFly fan too. Her story Sharing a room with four hot, but totally different guys was super popular, so I’d expect at least some seasoned Wattpaders to remember her. Anyway, I loved her, and she inspired me to put McFly in my story too.

sheensters

Girl, I love you, and love all the comments you’ve ever written. They’re always so detailed, and leave some real opinion and thought, which I love. Your comment on chapter 36 of Stuck with Him really impacted me. Thank you.

Englishtoffee17

Abby! I love this chick, not only for her writing, but just her as well. She’s a really cool person. She’s a sports fan, like me, and just about the only cricket fan I’ve ever met over the internet. If you don’t know her (and you should), go check out her page.

Well, I hope I haven’t bored you all too much! Now, if you’re sticking with me for my writing and not my rambling, then you should definitely check out preview chapters for two new stories. Remember to vote for the one you want me to write first by commenting on this post, or the chapter post.

They are:

The sequel to Hiding a super hot, pervert guy on the run in my room, following Anne and Travis after what happened at the warehouse: That Super Hot Pervert is Mine.

And, a new story with a new girl and Ashley’s friends, Leo, Ryan and Seth, and a very hot teacher: Game, Set, Match. (Am still uncertain about this title. Suggestions welcome)

Thanks for reading, and hope you enjoy the preview chapters! Whatever happens, one thing's for sure. After this story, to me, Ashley will always be a guy's name.

Album Review: Deadstock- SID

Hello, and welcome to my next album review! Yes, it’s another review of my favourite band SID, but I just had to share this with y’all!

I believe in reviewing and sharing stuff most people likely wouldn’t find otherwise. Actually, it’ll pretty much be all Japanese rock and I’d like to up its popularity. Alright, here we go, with Deadstock.

 

Deadstock was released in February 2011. The songs on it range from 2009, when the first single on it was released, to 2011. Deadstock has a lot of SID’s most famous and successful songs, and fared very well on the album charts, reaching #2 (SID’s unlucky number. They’ve never gotten a #1, but are always stuck at #2.)

No LDK

First track off the album. It’s a pretty good song. It starts off with really little beat, with Mao keeping his vocals soft and carrying it through… until it reaches the chorus. And then it just bursts out with this wonderful, catchy tune and Mao shakes his voice in his wonderful way. The whole song is really catchy, even though it’s not really loud and bouncy. 

Shelter

Alright, when I first heard this song, I really liked it, as it was not usual SID-fare, and had this strange, out-of-world guitar work to it. It slowly faded away though. It’s only 2:45 minutes, and that’s a good thing, as it couldn’t satisfactorily be any longer.

Cosmetic

One of the singles SID released prior to the album release. It’s a very addictive song that is jazzy without going over the top like MOM, which I mentioned in my M&W review. This song is one of SID’s #2s, and it’s not hard to hear why. It has definite playback quality.

Ii Hito

(Title means ‘One Person’, or so says Google Translate. I personally thought ‘Ii’ meant ‘good’, but I guess that’s another meaning.) As far as I know, this song was the most popular among the English SID fans (Googling SID Deadstock has ‘Deadstock track #4 download’ come up). This is a really sweet-sounding song, one with a chorus that you might sway along to. There’s also lots of acoustic guitar, and the bass is easy to hear. Mao’s voice is sweet, but strong where he needs to be. Just something you’d like to sing along to. Good song, but can be boring if you’re not into it.

Wife

A song very similar to Shelter in some ways, but different also. This song just… sounds better. A little themed, you might say, like many of the songs on M&W. Like Shelter it’s very short, and it seems to go by in no time.

Rain

One of the singles off Deadstock, and it’s freaking awesome. Oh, sorry, let’s rein it in. Yeah, it’s pretty cool. Rock, but has that melancholy edge to it that you’d expect of SID. Really, it’s the quintessential SID song. Mao’s voice is wonderfully powerful in it, though he can really make it soft and saddened when need be. Really, it’s a song worth listening to over and over. No wonder it reached #2 on the charts.

Dog Run

What a change in tone. From the sad rock of Rain, to the upbeat jazz of Dog Run. I didn’t quite like this song when I first heard it, but it can be quite addictive and catchy. Mao’s blog advertises the ‘catchy chorus’ for a ringtone, but I personally like the parts better. From the few words I understand, the song seems to have sad lyrics, but you really can’t tell from the tune.

One Way

Another of the five singles off the album, and my least favourite to be honest. It’s upbeat rock, and to me it sounds really forgettable and generic. Mao does some good things with his voice, but this song really isn’t up to par with the other singles in my opinion. It reached #3 on the Oricon charts, though.

Nigatsu

My sister says this sounds like an English song. I can kind of see her point. It’s not really what I’d label SID with, but it doesn’t make this a bad song. It’s just… rather plain. Although when I listen to this song, I can imagine the band playing on a rooftop, and Mao in a crisp pink shirt and skinny jeans. I don’t know why.

Oh, wait, it appears to be some sort of take on this picture. Yeah.

 Ranbu no Melody (ALBUM MIX)

A slightly different version of the single they released. The differences aren’t too marked, just a higher guitar tone. I was quite disappointed. Being not the biggest fan of the original song, I expected something fresh done with it, bringing it up to the level I associate with SID singles. Nope.

The song in itself is just some usual-sounding rock song, one you might hear every day. The original single reached #4 or 5 on the Oricon chart.

Sleep

Fifth and last SID single, and my favourite (with Rain, I guess). It is quite similar to Rain–rock, with a sad tune–but different also. Rain was much louder. Sleep is much quieter, and Mao is really fantastic with his vocals. His voice is so haunting and striking in this song, I love it. The melody in itself is really beautiful without being slow (rock, like I said).

Sympathy

Last song off the album. When SID ended their Deadstock 2011 Tour DVD, this was the last song. They said it was because they usually ended their concerts with sad songs, and they wanted something upbeat this time. (I can vouch for this. Of the four concerts I have, they’ve ended twice with Binetsu, the song that makes my heart crack.)

Anyway, this song starts off with Mao making his voice really strong and powerful, which can be pretty misleading. It’s actually an upbeat rock track, and to be honest not my favourite. Perhaps because I’ve never really cared for this type of music from SID, but it just doesn’t stand out. Not the best song to follow Sleep.

Favourite track(s) off album: Sleep, Rain

Least favourite track(s) off album: Sympathy, Shelter

Overall rating: 9/10 (I’m going to start rating out of ten now. Five is just too little)

Well, that’s it for now. I noticed this review was longer than the others, and it’s mainly because Deadstock is a pretty old album (it’s coming up on its 1^st birthday, one week after mine on 15^th February). I’m also greatly attached to this album. It was my first SID album, my first gateway to my beloved band.

So check out SID’s brand-new iTunes page!  (I don’t know what it looks like, really, so it might be in Japanese. Might be handy to have Google Translate on another tab.)

Thanks for reading! xo

Writing Thoughts: My Writing Wishlist

Hello and welcome to my first post on Writing Thoughts, just some of my own personal thoughts on writing, and how I love it and the challenges I face. A bit of a combo with my How Not to Write a Book posts, but rather on How I Write my Book.

Being a bit of a weird, ambitious person, I have a lot of goals, particularly about my writing. Some I hope to achieve, while others I basically just dream of. I am such a little girl, I love multi-coloured stuff (almost wrote shit there, before I saw what that would look like... multi-coloured shit, XD). My goals are going to be colour-coded. Here's a little key:

Things I absolutely will do is in red.
Things I hope will happen, but still have a high hope of happening, are in blue. 
And things I dream of (and I expect many of these) are in purple.


So, here goes:

Finish my damn book
It's been almost two years, and I have six pages. I keep deleting and re-writing, and it's so fucking annoying. But I will finish it. Y'know, unless I die prematurely. Hopefully that doesn't happen.

Get my damn book published
Not the self-publishing thing anybody can do, but actually have my book looked at by a real editor, and then deemed worthy of publishing. This was originally gonna be in red, but since this is more dependent on someone else and not me, it's blue.

Have someone tell me my writing's good
Well, I guess I could say I've kinda accomplished this one as I've gotten a few compliments on Wattpad, and though I've loved them, I'd really like someone from a more experienced audience to say it. Like people who've read a ton of fantasy books and still somehow liked mine.

Have a book-signing
This would be so cool. It'd mean I'd have fans, too. I mean, that's what real authors do, right? Sign books?

Get Twitter followers
On my Twitter account, that has currently one. Of course, my 'author one' would have my real name, but I'd like at least five people worldwide to actually care what I have to tweet.
(Yes. Blatant advertising. Fall prey to such easy tricks. Now)

(here come the crazies, whoo!)

Have Jennifer Armintrout say my writing's good
Maybe this is not too crazy. But this would mean a hell of a lot. Jen's awesome.

Get a movie deal
Y'know, be in the big leagues. This would also mean I got fans and readers. But this'll only matter if the next one comes true with it:

Be a part of aforementioned movie production
So that I know they don't screw anything up. They don't change my storyline, and I have to confirm every actor they hire. Yes. I am controlling like that. But I am not letting someone like Kristen Stewart play Rinna. She's supposed to be pretty, and exotic, and Kristen Stewart is neither pretty nor exotic. Never mind the bad tag she'll bring along with her. Chick's got anti-fans.

Oh, and Colin Egglesfield has to be in the movie
Because he's hot. And I've already cast him as Leo, who's based off a character in my novel. I seriously cannot imagine another guy playing him now.

Have any of the McFly boys say they like my book
They don't seem like bookworms, but hey, a girl can dream, right? Especially Tom. Not only does he seem like the biggest reader among them, but I love him the most. 

Get my book translated
I'd like people in my country to read it too, and not a lot of them know English that well. I'd also like it to be in Japanese, because...

Have Mao say he likes my book
Self-explanatory. Mao's awesome. It'd be freaking amazing if we were fans of each other. I doubt he'd as big a fan of me as I am of him, but still. Awesome.

Have George RR Martin say my writing's better than mediocre
He is an awesome writer, and for him to every say that my writing's not shitty, would mean everything. 

When I open a bank account or something, somebody looks at my name and says, "Hey, you're that writer! I read your book and liked it."
Fan! The proud side of me's taking over now. It'd mean I actually sold a couple of books, and my name's actually recognisable.



I got more. Wait, let me think of them. Well, I'll be back with them later. I never miss a chance to ramble. If you've got any writing wishes, do tell me about them. I'd really love to hear them. Blatant cry for comments

Somebody tell me I'm not crazy for wishing for these things. This is normal, right? Right?!

How Not to Write a Book: Oh, yeah, she’s a really strong character! She’s only crying throughout the entire book!

(Whoa, it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, eh? Don’t think anyone’s reading them, but it’s fun to write them out. I love rambling.)

Alright, time to look into the story-telling, and not just the characters. Yeah, okay, this does involve characterization too, but I’d like to convince myself I know other shit about writing apart from characters, so just humour me, okay?

This is mainly about portraying your character, rather than building. You’ve got a proper character built, with a good mixture of flaws, strong points and quirks. Now it’s time to think about how you’ll present that character to the reader.

Let’s think about a character named… Alette. (Alette was a name I’d chosen for a princess in my story, before I re-wrote the entire fucking thing. The character’s been binned, but I really quite like the name). So we’ve created Alette to be intelligent and learned, strong-willed and proud, fighting for attention with her seven older sisters (yeah. Really. Hey, don’t judge, they don’t have contraceptives in my medieval-era world). If Alette is a central character, you’ll want to show off her personality, since you’ve presumably put some effort into creating it.

One of the basic ways to describe your character is to have other characters describe her. Your lead character might be Kerra, one of Alette’s sisters. When we (the readers) first meet Alette, Kerra would describe her. Something along the lines of how it was obvious Alette had taken painstaking care in arranging her hair because some foreign king was visiting, and that she’d worn her best dress, or that she flipped a few pages of a book on the table. Small, little things like that.

What I really don’t recommend is you (or, rather, your character) describing her outright. We don’t want to be slapped by Alette’s character straight-off. We want Alette’s personality to reveal itself. We want Kerra’s initial feelings, and then her later feelings of annoyance or jealousy or sympathy to show later, when the situation calls for it.

So, now let’s assume, we have a change in viewpoint, and the character we’re currently seeing through is Alette. Another great way to know a character is to see how they view themselves. Alette might be humble, or she might know how intelligent and desired she is, and keep it only to herself. Think about how you think to yourself, and compare it to what you say to others. Very few people are the same inside and out.

Alright, now let’s come to a later scene. The King has come, but he’s more interested in business matters with Alette’s father, and though polite to Alette, he hardly regards her. She responds by making a scene in front of everyone, and then running off to her bedroom to curl up into a ball and cry.

Wait up. Make a scene in front of everyone? Curl up into a ball and cry? Is that what a proud, intelligent woman would do?

See, having Kerra repeatedly say that Alette is strong and intelligent, doesn’t make Alette strong and intelligent. Her actions do. Your actions have to back your character.

But don’t limit them. If you were to re-write the scene a little, you could easily have the desired effect, but keeping your character true. If the King were to openly avoid her, then the proud princess might try and corner him alone, ask him his reasons. If he were to reply that he simply lost track of all the princesses and forgot Alette was one, even if he were to say it kindly, she might just go and cry in her bedroom later. Secretly, of course. And it would suit her character. Because she hates being ignored, and her pride couldn’t take it.

Of course, Alette might not be as strong or as intelligent as Kerra believes, but it’s your job as the writer to make the reader believe what Kerra believes. We’re seeing through the character’s eyes, and we have to see the image of Alette as Kerra sees it, even if it might not be correct.

So, then, that’s it for now. More Mao pictures, coming next ;)

SID Pictures: The Best of Mao's Blog 1

Mao is vocalist of the Japanese band SID, and to me, extremely attractive. Here, I'll show you why.

Hello and welcome, to where I'll be sharing some of Mao's personal pictures-- those he posts on his blog.I was originally going to post all of them, but my internet connection's not agreeing with me, and so I'll be posting only half.

The images have been scaled down, so I'd advise viewing the image for full Mao awesome-ness. They're in chronological order; the oldest ones are first. The first picture is from early October 2011, and the last mid-January.

Mao's Halloween costume; he went as Ayanami Rei

Well, those are all the blog pictures for now. I gotta say, arranging pictures in blogger is a bitch. Be sure to bookmark the blog, as the rest of the Mao Blog pictures will be coming next, and then the SID photoshoots for the music magazine What's In? And can I tell you, all the guys look amazing in all three issues ;)

I hope you enjoyed this fest of pretty men! Please stay tuned for more!

Thank you!
