Pictures

A picture of my brain.

My haute couture scarves.

The Cresta Run is an ice run in St Moritz, Switzerland. Here I am wearing all the gear required to ride the toboggan. For beginners, the run starts at Junction Straight. After two turns to the right, you reach the infamous Shuttlecock. It's all downhill from there.
