Fashion arrives to b5media

I am so excited to announce that Tops2Bottoms has joined the Women’s Channel at b5media. I have thought for a good long time now that fashion was something we were obviously missing here, and Tops2Bottoms fills the gap perfectly.
Sasha Manuel is our resident stilleto-addict fashionista and will guide us through the maze […]
