International Women's Day. Two Ways

Image
I grew up with 8th March always being a holiday. In Russia there is also the Men's day, technically it is for gents who served in armed forces, 23rd February. But until fairly recently only 8th March was a holiday, however the February holiday is now official thing too. Guess men felt too left out.  Well if you are Russian or former USSR you are aware that on 8th of March you will be getting presents just for being a girl and having a vagina. No matter the age. It's a thing. And that would be pretty much it.  Living abroad where the day is just a day... but I think either I have started paying attention or the feminism was in the air this year.

These guys are just too cute!  Thank babes x So she did say that it would have been super cool to have one of them in 3D.... Well... Here to please really... So Charlotte when are we meeting next so I can give you this dude?  But then again, if there is something being made another hand-made thing is coming too... Took me absolute forever to remember how to do this, but I think results it great! Must make some more... Would you buy them? I think I can take my Esty shopping into selling...
