Blue Q Favorite Friday – Men Crying Magnets

I love this magnet set.  Men Crying. Mother NYC designed this puppy for us and I just wished I could’ve been at the photoshoot and look – I don’t LIKE to see a grown man cry – it’s so pathetic and puts you in an awkward position…and yet, there must be this….cathartic moment, right?  (I’m [...]
