Afolabi Taiwo May 4, 2011 at 11:37 PM Wishing you all the love and friendship that is in the eyes of an infant. The laughter in the pure spring that sprang in the noonday and the special warm hug of affection in the aftermath of a long night. I appreciate your comments, cheers.

Never heard of the Whitney before (heehee do not laugh, ok you can-- I actually thought that this was inspired by Whitney Houston in the Body Guard! Especially when I read that part about the metal art-- wasn't there a part in the movie where she was wearing that metallic costume thingy?? Heehee! Now I know o_o-- thanks for sharing this form! Very interesting thoughts you have here, and really like your title for it :) hugs
