I discovered Threadbanger yesterday as a link from BFX (i was looking up some DIY film FX for an assignment) and was instantly addicted!

And now, as recommendation from a mate, I found a writer for Threadbanger!!

Don't you just love that- hey! I know that! - feeling?


Anyway, great tip- and nice dress ^^
