Description
August did it again--it slipped away into a moment in time! And did so like a bottle of wine! So here we are again, recapping all things politics and pop culture that happened in August. More specifically, the headline issues that Majka has been pondering and Molly-Mae Hague's appointment as Creative Director of Pretty Little Thing. Enjoy!
