Not to say I took a glimpse backstage or anything, but the entire operation from the point of…

Color Revolution SXM (Part Un)
So what exactly do you do when your editor calls you and asks you if you can go to St. Maarten to cover one of the most talked about fashion events for the year? There is no choice. You say yes. You plug in for a vacation day, make sure your passport has some months left,…
