Photo Diary // Stripper Heels and Photo Shoots

I know I’ve been MIA lately, but I’m still outchea! Here’s what I’ve been up to: 1// Took a really fun pole dancing class and loved it!

A few years ago, FriendBoy (remember him?) moved to Poland and I promised to visit someday. Well, someday happened last week and I have to say, it was the best trip EVER. Wandering the hallowed halls of Wroclaw University; the city is dotted with amusing little gnome statues; running through Market Square; my super-modern apartment; trying the local brew (beer is gross, so it was terrible) My apartment in Wroclaw was in the ‘hood, but the flat
