....of course you have to be totally confident in your masculinity to be able to fish the pink one with any confidence

Those that claim that pink is a "gay" colour on flee are just insecure and re just trying to hide their own homesexuality, pink is a super colour, especially in boobies and blobs and fabs and gems and crunchers and even a bit of pinky peach on wets isn't bad, and i love that rootbeer

I tried to get a two tone effect using Olive and Rootbeer MOP over red floss but the Peacock quill hides it a bit. I'll try another with maybe a clear flexifloss rib so that more of the finish is showing.

That top buzzer is absolutely brilliant, love the glow at the top. Is that a glass bead at the head?
