Meet our New Publicity Manager

Sorry I guess, but not that sorry; squirrels need pants too, you know. As to who I am? I’m Vanessa Frey, a Libra who thinks astrology is garbage and whose hobbies (besides making tiny clothing for tiny animals of course) include reading and not watching sports. How did...
