A girl called Brett
My latest artistic inamorata is a Chicago-based artist named Brett Manning, who likes to make it clear that she is in fact a girl. Her website, Brettisagirl.com, is distinctly feminine, showcasing her gorgeous portfolio on a backdrop of nostalgic, wallpaper-pink- so there is no confusion there. Brett is a girl.
