Tabs may be semi-retired, but that hasn’t slowed him down. He still tries to keep up with the latest trends, and set new trends.

You may not realize it yet, but one day the part of you that loves pink will awaken, and she’ll want to wear pink in every shade under the sun. The power of pink will compel you!
