I mean, don't you get tired of looking at thongs? Wouldn't another bit of, hmm, finery be, oh, a welcome change? Yeah, I know, the model's more Skippy-sans style, but you'll live. We're still working on fitting the 140 watt woofers in Hubert with the extending dancing poles, but that should tide you over for about 60 seconds. And it's a Fox news link John. I didn't use any of the blogs talking about it posts. Sheesh, blood you've no problem, pr0n you've no problem with, but bras on Fox news bring you up short?
