Ridin Dirty
It’s funny how age creeps up on you. While watching Q Wreck in a YouTube video the other night it became glaringly obvious that my youth vanished long ago with Milli Vanilli.

This Diva can’t stand the feeling of a cold floor on her feet or any particle that might be found in the crevices of her path. Call me a princess but shoes are never far from my soles! Read More...
