Olle Sjostrom Report post #8 Posted January 11, 2014 They got some serious swag. Probably French. No other can carry gear like that. Looking good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
studiomprd Report post #9 Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) RR: " And why are they dressed like that? " they are working at a formal event.
