We’re talking about Anastasia, Madame Toussauds, and how close some cover models get to showing some hog. THEN! Then, we have about a half hour of live cover snark. I’m wondering if this video will be taken down by the Y’Tube, because these covers are…unclothed. What was the thing you were obsessed with when … Continue reading 737.
