    Look mv118 if you were rich like her you would probably stay home 2 and do nothing. That’s why some people wanna win the lottery to have vacations every day!? And she is pretty ( stop hating mv118 your not pretty I saw your pic) maybe she is a b@@@@, but most of the pretty girls are. I bet you if we put your pic and her pic together and ask people, – who do you think is prettier?. Who do you think will win, of course her!!!so there you go;). Her hair is niceeee if I had her hair I wouldn’t cut it short she looks pretty with long hair it goes with her. So mv118 shut up and think first and stop being a hatter!!!!

    :it is not pamona, california. it is pOmona, california. from my knowledge,there is no city whatsoever named pamona. i am from pOmona, & we are very prideful of our city. if you are not from there, or anywhere near the los angeles county area, you may not know, so it is a simple mistake. i just thought i’d add my 02¢ ;oD
