I don't care one way or another about celebrity gossip or pictures. It's nuts the sort of money that gets thrown around for their photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat Gattina, I'm glad you controlled yourself and didn't sell out your child for money!! Ha! :)
ReplyDeleteJust like a meat market...selling their baby's flesh by the pound. I think it's ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteThe TT-banner is great! Those amounts are unbelievable..!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my TT.
