WALK MS: Tinsel & Tine Walkin By Faith #WALKMSPHILLY
By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Saturday, May 2, 2020 1 mile or 3 mile Philadelphia, PA Once again I’ll be joining Thomasena Farrar aka MusicMoviesThoughts for WALK MS® Team: Walkin By Faith My Donation Fundraising page is now live! Thank you for considering a #WalkMSPhilly contribution I’ve signed up for Walk MS—an event that brings together a community of passionate people to connect and raise funds to change the world for everyone affected by multiple sclerosis. I’ve set a modest goal so hopefully each person who sees this can give $5 to easily get to the $125 and perhaps surpass it! MS is an unpredictable and often disabling disease. While…

ZOLA (Sundance 2020 Premiere)

Strippers can make more money traveling to other cities to work the pole, as they’re considered “new talent” to customers tired of the same ol girls. I don’t think any trouble would have come of the trip if the girls were on their own, Unfortunately, they are accompanied by Stefani’s dim-witted boyfriend Derrick (Nicholas Braun ) and…
