Описание: Welcome to the family Its just like yours: father, mother, sister, brother, abuelita, gato, even a great-great grandmother. Well, but theres something just a little bit different about this particular family. Maybe its those clothes they wear . . . just a little bit fashion backward. And the colors So vibrant and . . . lively. Maybe thats what it is. They are just so full of life while looking almost other worldly.
