We gathered last month for another “let there be light” event, this time focusing on the fashion of San Andreas! After a brief gathering and inspection of the various fashion outlets in the commercial district around Rockford, we moved on to the first task of the day: create an underwear ad! […]

Fashion flash: underwear ads, biker chic, and after-hours glamour

We gathered last month to celebrate a very special event: the crew turned eleven years old! We gathered at the beach to reminisce on all the good times. Then, we took the bus to the nightclub, for dancing and drinks. Although I can no longer recall how, eventually we started […]

Random transform races are fun!

As the saying goes, better late than never, so here is the Valentine party report on Grand Theft Amore! We met at the strange statue near Vespucci Beach. Everyone arrived in impeccable style.
