Well done Lena but it's always the rich who do this kind of challenge
No such but the means to travel, not work, find work, not struggle on a daily basis and in the end make a video that will get millions of views
I would like to try too in this case https://t.co/TmS6CYcA3a— Lino Thirteen (@LinoTreize) https://twitter.com/LinoTreize/status/1858075757454483495?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
A bourgeois woman has a celebrity whim to make a video published on YouTube and which will generate money.
This title is less misleading. https://t.co/1bGeV1vDdt— Neiloumouk (@NMallet13) https://twitter.com/NMallet13/status/1858092834630373687?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
