RIP: the Good Girl…

Posted on February 23, 2012 by

One disastrous liaison too many, I realize I may have a bit of an issue with boundaries. Yeah, who’d have guessed? (Say anything - I kill you). Comes standard: lock, stock and two smoking ovaries with playing the proverbial good girl as … Continue reading →
