    Those smiles and sparkling looks … and those pastel fluffy balls of happiness being thrown up in the air make these two shots gorgeous !!!
    I particularly love the second one…
    I think it could be a picture for a new commercial (ie: Hollywood chewing gum)
    singing:
    “Fraรฎcheur de vivre !
    Hollywood chewing gum…”

  46. i love your hair color corey. i since i was a child and still hope that i go gray like that. my father also went prematurely grey and he looked fantastic. so galant. so i decided,since there is a higher chance that it will happen to me, i will welcome it and start wearing bright red lipstick for my pleasure. would rather go grey than bald.
