[Leica] IMG Don's PAW Week 10 Las Vegas with no glitz

[philippe.orlent at pandora.be (Philippe Orlent)]

Hi Don,
Four prefs for me: the two Death Valley B&W's, the Fuji Barbie dolls  
(they look so perfect that it's as if they're made out of plastic)  
and the last one ofcourse.
I know the bodyguard, but who's that next to him?
;-)
She looks pretty well conserved...
Thanks for showing,
Philippe
