I think we can all agree that Princess Leia looks great in a bikini. She's now my favorite Disney Princess. Speaking of Star Wars, if you watch it backwards, it's about this guy who kisses his sister and then copes with it by forgetting she's his sister. Then he runs away to live with his aunt and uncle in the desert.

Happy Friday Miss C!

Watch 100 horror movies in 92 days? Pffft, child's play.
For horror watch the evening news for 92 days.
