Unsystematically

Hey, I'm Leo Saraceni and this is a tumblr, in case you havent noticed. It's certainly another venue where I spent 1 hr god knows when and then forgot about. I'm on twitter way more often than here. I recommend you read Social Media Guerilla, my blog on social/content strategies. One day I will get back to posting there more often. My personal stuff is at Leo Saraceni DOT Net which can be quite boring.

But this rather stylish Ogre, from Asylum, delivers delicious hints of hay, cream, and even some coco and vanilla. The 7×70 beast requires some commitment (90-115min at least), but it’s a truly unique experience. Full review below: (more…)
