Model Behaviour

 A girl got spotted by a modelling agent in Tesco (pre Lockdown) and I was stood right next to her. Of course I totally understood, I was wearing my corona mask at the time. But bizarrely when I took it off I still got nothing. So I opened my legs really wide to show I...

‘No He Neverland’ Why Michael Jackson Deniers need to admit he’s Bad

Read more

I totally ‘get’ why some people refuse to believe that Michael Jackson was a prolific pedophile. He was always so nice to children.
