Calendar Cutie
What a rock star! This month’s Cutie has been on the blog before, when he was a mere toddler. Here’s one of Ezra’s best mates Marcus, age 6, styling it out at the Street Feast Merchant Yard closing party last weekend. Hats off to a very photogenic little man (and spot my babe in the backdrop).
Send in your favourite photos of your babes (ages 5 and under) for a chance to be our next Calendar Cutie and be entered into a prize draw! Email photos and a short description to editor@babesabouttown.com
