Manganista

Bio:

If Manganista were a shirt, it would have a large collar, many bright colors, and be found rather easily on a rack at a local thrift store. The shirt would fit well and make the wearer feel as though they were thumbing their nose at convention, while still holding onto a feeling that is in a word… sexy.
