The Diamond Trading Company - Just Glittering with Feminism

THE DIAMOND TRADING COMPANY-
JUST GLITTERING WITH FEMINISM!!

YOUR LEFT HAND SAYS YOU'RE TAKEN. YOUR
RIGHT HAND SAYS YOU CAN TAKE OVER.
YOUR LEFT HAND CELEBRATES THE DAY
YOU WERE MARRIED. YOUR RIGHT HAND
CELEBRATES THE DAY YOU WERE BORN. WOMEN
OF THE WORLD, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.
