Awesome People We Met at Beyond Wonderland SoCal 2018 Day 2

The first day of Beyond was as good a time as anyone could hope for, due in no small part to how down our Headliners are for letting it all hang out. But all things considered, you wouldn’t have been able to tell everyone went 110 percent the day prior, based on how refreshed and stunning our Headliners looked while strolling through the gates for round two. We posted up by the infamous pond and flagged down the most awesome from the bunch before they explored all of the goodies Beyond SoCal had to offer.
