Brianne and Melanie

This week, we are disaster girls, Brianne is trying to be mysterious, Ole shows up our seven year olds, some afternoon delight ends in flames, a man wins his own contest, Brianne hatches a new conspiracy theory, both of us love a rogue wave, we make a wish on a t-rex, Melanie appreciates her bush, and we encourage you to donate a secret.
