Your name was Luenell. You used to be married to Borat.
You took my breath away in the skies when you asked me if I was a paparazzi.
I said “no, baby. Salvadoran Vogue.”
You captured my heart and I know that we’d make beautiful babies together.
Here is a picture of us when we shared our magical moment.
I’d like to get to know you.
Your Papi,
Jorge

The 42,000 square foot oceanfront space houses Audi’s latest model, the $100,000 A8. When you enter the humongous space you’re greeted with Kehinde Wiley’s art.
…so, in other words. Kehinde Wiley is EVERYWHERE.
