Yay for anthro dresses! I may also be wearing one right now…And I totally agree about the pork! I think it's my favourite kind of meat. No offence to the other meats out there.

I'm wearing my first anthro sale purchase today! It's pretty cute. also apple & pork = the best. I love pork in general. What a flavourful animal. Pork burgers were such a game changer for us.
