Got this in an email: “Explore the world of beautiful Russian woman Browse FREE PICTURES submitted by Lovely young Russian women seeking love and a better life.

  • From a spam… “Unhappy with your Breast size?” uh… yeah. I’d like them to be smaller. They have been known to be larger than some females I know. As a guy that is just embarassing.
