    Ebay seller - possibly the best pictures ever?

    Oh!...That`s so nice...Some years ago I was an security escort for a Dancer , She was so very perfect..She was one of the girls in the Motley Crew video "girls girls girls". I had access to a crew of women back then but I think they wouldnt sell as good today:D Thanks for the memories.
