Maybe Mackenzie will let Tillie come on her show sometimes to give a Millennial Perspective. Or maybe Trudi can find a spot on the View or Fox ‘n Friends.

Maybe Traycee can go work at NBC with Mandy Kearney.

Tori should stay in her lane.

Good for you. It gets easier. ❤

It is one that is want to like more than I actually do. I can see its beauty, and I LOVE certain aspects of it (like its gauzy feeling,) but overall it just doesn’t speak to me. I’m more of a Shalimar gal, even though I wish I could be an apres l’ondee lady.
