227. Betwixtisode: Tootie Fruity Clip-Tacular Clip-A-Palooza!
Forgotten Photo From Mendy H!
D’Oh! Tootie Fruity Mendy H. had a “P.S.” in her clip email where she mentioned that she herself DID actually get to Pomona College in Claremont, CA to take a photo coming out of the TFOL dorm exterior. Sorry, Mendy, I missed it!
And I will add… that I AM TOTES FUCKING JELLY AND WANT TO DO THIS SO BADLY!!
