The Lavender Lapdance Combo
The Lavender Lapdance ComboLV 4
Kevin Ho
2008

Here's a little ditty that I've been using for a while - it's just one of those things I really enjoy doing, especially as a part of my warm-up practice. It's nothing original, other than the order the different elements of the cut are in (hence the name). And while it's not my greatest work, I hope it encourages those watching to discover fun and visually stylistic combinations of their own to play around with. Thanks for reading! - Kevin Ho
