She’s famous

Chris Hall38 Comments

I will drink coffee
and you will drink lovely tea
but she drinks wine, gosh
that is rather radical

and we know her name, don’t we

This image shows someone holding three cups and the cups are made in the image of a woman’s face. The expression on the three cups are slightly different from each other.
