I highly recommend spending time and watching these shorts, they are so beautiful and hey! It’s an air conditioned room to keep you cool in this hot California weather!

I’m sure after a couple of weeks of showing three shorts, they’ll switch out the shorts for different ones!

While you wait to see the shorts, you can look at all the modeling and work that went into these shorts.
