Hello!
We are Pictoria Secrete and Gloria Booths. We are the daring duo in drag with the conical boobs that were seen flitting about the WAG during Nuit Blanche. We had a wonderful time that night and the people seemed to adore us.
Thanks to everyone that made us feel so welcome and free to be ourselves.
Leif Norman
