Guys and Dolls
Dollhouse. As Micole says, I have no political justification for liking it. But I can’t help but watch it. I suppose you’ve seen one post, you’ve seen them all, but I have something to say, so I’m gonna say it. Behind a cut (apologies to those on the feed) for spoilers because I am Nice […]
