That's awesome. =) I mostly wanted to see if he had the yellow on the back of his head, but it looks like he does.

I imagine it's the same one. It was seen on the same island as that first one?

That's awesome.

Ain't nothing wrong with his outfit. He's wearing a black blazer with a black turtleneck. And black slacks. And black shoes, of course. Black is slimming, you know.
