Posted on February 16, 2013 by Dreamaticus

Guy Masterson and the Turkish conference groper (Rousse)

Posted on September 22, 2012 by Dreamaticus

Ricki Lake, weight loss, and an over-zealous patrol man (Rousse)

Posted on January 21, 2012 by Dreamaticus

Ricki Lake looked fabulous close-up. She wore a tight black pencil skirt, white blouse and pillar box red jacket over her neat little body. My only criticism was that she was too heavily made-up. On the other hand, this was … Continue reading →
