Never really been brave enough to wear them as I have huge calves and short legs :(
But i am now a very much tempted to wear a pair :)
This one:
makes me feel like putting on a simple white t shirt and a pair of jeans (folded up to three quarters of course) and chill out drinking coffee and feel awesome.
This one:

Sex And The City (2008)
I can still remember how excited I was for the First Sex and The City Movie

Can’t believe it was in year 2008. Time does fly.
Or maybe i just have...

First Movie starts tomorrow :)
SIFF second last movie:
A movie that captures one whole day in Mumbai, the Capital City of India the second most populated country in the world, where most Indians would go to gamble for a better future.

How do you know it's there?
Brian: But ninety percent of the universe is made of stuff we can’t even see.
Julia: Then how do you know it’s there?
Brian: Dark matter has a gravitational effect on other objects. You can’t see it, you can’t feel it, but you can watch something being pulled in its direction.
