The Case for the Fountain of Youth

I think it's about time I finally admitted it: After all these years of being bummed about my outdated photo on the Blogger profile, I decided to - ahem - get some "work" done.

Besides, if you thought this was way too J-pop/ K-drama/ Hot Topic for your taste, take heart that at least I didn't provide a link to the site with the "Celebrity Dollz.")
