[...] We then fell to the ground suffering greatly from hunger pangs and decamped to the Pitt street mall to hit the food halls!

But a road block in the form of world famous hug giver Juan Mann and friend dressed in a Rabbit suit in the middle of the mall giving free hugs. If you don’t know Juan he became famous for giving away hugs for nothing. Visit their website and get a look...

He’s the tall dude with the sexy facial hair and neo intellectual glasses! Of course the girls in the meet led by Keirra had to get their hugs… then they thought… what if we get some mobile phone music going and introduce dance to this gig… Funny, and the rabbit was into it!

then they thought how about some sychronised dancing…. See Juan in the background?

Sick Puppies - All The Same*

I don't mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
I don't like illusions I can't see
Them clearly

I don't care no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually
What you'll do

I don't mind...
I don't care...

As long as you're here
Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same

And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
And in between it always seems too long
All of a sudden

And I have the skill, yeah I have the will
To breathe you in while I can
However long you stay
Is all that I am

I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's always the same

Wrong or right
Black or white
If I close my eyes
It's all the same

In my life
The compromise
I close my eyes
It's all the same

Go ahead say it you're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

Spreading Hugs

AUnque quizá el león no entienda por completo de lo que se trata, y su gesto pudiera ser una acción condicionada por el adiestramiento, esta es, sin duda, una expresión noble de lo que significa dar un abrazo.

Con mucha capacidad

Un video que demuestra que no se necesita más que las ganas para brillar.
