The baby was born wearing masscara and dressed in velvet and black lace. ---

_This_ kid is going to have an “interesting” childhood, to say the least. I mean, the bedtime stories _alone_… In any case, three cheers for the happy couple! And a special _kudos_ to Burton, for adding his unique genetic code to the human genepool. Future generations thank him. And…I guess we can safely say that Mr. Burton _won’t_ be working with Jeffery Jones again, now. 😉 ---
