This was for an audition for a Tyra Banks show?

Good Lord, the nation’s going right down the cultural tube.

Unsurprising.

The pouting beauties who aspire to catwalk fame are, by and large, highly-strung, self-absorbed, spiteful bitches.

She looks like one of those rap guys girlfriends
Who understands those rap guys
They only talk to her because she looks like a total prostitute,ok
I mean her butt
It's just so big

My best friend turned 50 last week so her husband took her for a dream weekend in Manhattan.

The riot was right outside of their hotel, though they missed it.
