Yup. Scarlett’s all real. Just the gown with push-ups. In one movie I saw she was braless under a crop top and they were moving quite naturally. It seems odd that she won’t do nudity in films despite being a walking sperm bank in her private life.

I had the danged-est time posting this thread. I had to give up last night and post it this morning. I used to go to the home page, click on the WFTD link and post......it's all changed, can't do that anymore. Looks like they are still implementing changes.
