Honey, can you turn your shirt off?
I was hanging out over the Dorfman’s house when a photographer friend’s girlfriend dropped by to show us the coolest thing….EVER! L.E.D. designed shades for the home. Again, I’m not going domestic on you, but they were pretty fabulous. Now Phillips has cashed in on the deal. Their new Lumalive…
Dispatch from LA
