All you people like to say what adds and don’t add value but trust be told you all are the ones that are the most nasty dirty minded.Nuff said..
But of course I nasty a a because I nasty I cannot have an opinion then..every week on Dno is a pageant…. Those girls need to do something better with themselves besides stroling on the cat walk smiling smiling…I don’t mind a yearly or even biannual pageant but every week then.. By the end every woman in Dominica will have a crown
