The Singles Bar: Halston Spreads Some Holiday Cheer-All Time Low?: Not So Much
While milfs (milves?) everywhere are going gaga over Michael Buble’s Christmas album and their daughters are pissing themselves a tinsel stream over Justin Bieber, what does that leave for the rest of us? Thankfully, answers have arrived in the form of a new song from Boston’s favorite duo, Halston and a video from irreverent rockers All Time Low.
