No reason to blur out your chair.. Do Donuts in that muh & enjoy life
People are gonna @ me but I don't care. This woman IS beautiful AND I am tired of women being judged as if how physically beautiful they are is even in the top 20 of the most valuable or important things about them. To me enlightenment isn"t "Yes, disabled women are beautiful
