I didn’t even know Nanya had a nickname with ‘container’ as a suffix…looooool. Hey BMG blog readers, please find below my very 1st male guest feature on the blog. The reason this is the first is not from a reluctance to feature more male guests but because so far, all the prospective male guests I’ve approached have proved elusive. I have sent out a number of requests to my male readers asking them to feature, and I find myself chasing,…
