Al Bruno III and the case of the amazing disappearing cheesecake!
You regular visitors may start noticing that the pictures have disappeared from a good number of my posts - especially the Recommended Hotness ones!
The long and short of it is that the site I used to host a good number of those images has gone down and may not be coming back.
