Let Down Your Hair Book Review (@erikschubach )from @kleffnotes

Let Down Your Hair is both a prequel and a sequel in my mind to the Urban Fairytales series from Erik Schubach. As a way to relax the women of the series we have grown to love over the course of four previous books spend nights eating junk food and going through the journals of previous women with powers like their own. For their reading on this particular night Nicole, a character introduced in the previous book, insists they read the journal of Rapunzel.

My Erotic Body Movie Review from @kleffnotes

Michele Beck has created a documentary that allows viewers to delve into the world of pole dancing. While this topic might seem sensational Beck’s work looks at how taking pole dancing classes has impacted the lives of a diverse group of women.
