I love where this is going ... these new editions are amazing! It’s a perfect succession and evolution. The words are so me. I love that they are so evocative and universal. I think it’s something every woman - and man - can relate to. It’s a true conversation piece, and makes people smile. I hope people enjoy them as much as I enjoyed collaborating on them!
