Also I wanted to thank my e-mail subscribers! It's great that my emails don't annoy you and you're still sticking with me! Props to you!
Another big thanks goes to my dear Antigoni who has always supported me throughout the year. Have a great 2012! Adie <3 you! :-D
To all my readers: Happy New Year!
Here are the creepiest 10 videos I've ever seen. Happy Halloween!
1. Florence + The Machine - Heavy in your arms
The video of Florence's contribution to the Twilight Soundtrack is super creepy with her looking like the latest victim of Ted Bundy. Also don't forget to buy her new album "Ceremonials" which is out today in the UK and tomorrow everywhere else...I think....
