Two Evil Queens + Mirror Mirror Premiere = Wicked Fun!

Published on April 6, 2012

Tweet I was feeling a bit guilty for leaving the Perfect Husband and the Critter home to attend the premiere of Mirror Mirror with my two main gays, it being a “family” movie and all. A ski trip for my hubs and kidlet had been postponed, and my plus two had already been invited. Truth […]
