"Coming up with my own special set of Buddies − each one representing different aspects of self-expression − it's unreal, a dream come true," said Frost.

"I hope the Kerwin Frost Box will serve as a reminder for people to hone their creativity and not be afraid to show the world who they really are,” he added.
