The artist Frida Kahlo painted many self  portraits throughout her life. She highlighted her uni-brow in every single one.

Amor Vincit

Ace Smith, Writer February 11, 2024

We were two strangers intertwined by fate connected with a small pink string on each of our pinkie fingers.   We knew someday we would find each other, whether by search, or luck,...
