Tag line: passion science & innovation - evio free advice? Way too many syllables. Nobody wants passion in science. They want cold clinical accuracy. Everything about $evio style was s like the most unpopular dork at high school, the one with three friends, two of them are imaginary and the third is a beta tester for ?? depressants. who is convinced their style is so cool because they’re so smart. But in fact they’re so awkward, their “style” so tasteless and igly all the irony has left the room. Someday the world will appreciate my stable as high fashion. Says evio wiatfully into the mirror. My passion is what people will invest in. Science and innovation Are afterthoughts. All 300 pounds of friendless, ugly zit faced bullied passion.
