Toys Will Be Toys

January 14th, 2010 · No Comments · Cool Stuff, Just For Fun, Scott Bell Photography

This is a new addition to my “Girl In Danger” series. It’s a humorous take on how those macho toys behave when no one is looking. For those of you thinking “Texas Chain Saw Massacre” - the “boyz” have other things on their mind. They just have to get through those darn hard to open [...]
