… if my faux celeb cred wasn’t legit before, now it is!! I also wrote this article on Brett Young. File this under “thank god I more or less stay in the same shape year round” because otherwise this four-days-notice photo shoot would have caused some serious anxiety. I’ve obviously had a lot of written…
