Paper & Vices is about the books that feed your imagination and the vices that make your soul spark. You want to talk about that fantasy book with that kick-ass chick saving the sexy dude while you eat a cannabis brownie? Want to tell us how much you spent without feeling judged? Come sit by us. We’ll bring the rum.We are not Louboutin heels kind of sexy women; we are big messy hair and books kind of sexy women. Lee Vices is a legit white-girl hippy who makes infused brownies and has dreadlocks. Victoria Papers a big-haired, fat-bottomed white girl who wears black tees 90% of the time and drinks her rum neat. We both read far too many books. Most of them have magic.
