Some pieces are enormous with bold colors and a hidden political message while others take up less space and are a little more than meets the eye.

We’ve remained friends and we might even be roommates in LA pretty soon. Brittney Wilson, whom I married in Dater’s Handbook, is actually my ex-girlfriend and we’re still really good friends. I didn’t spend much…
