Customer Reviews
Great for women!
This was great to understand the buying process more :) thanks for a great show!
Based on her Column alone..
I used to read Vicky’s column in the paper but fell off that train when Star’s format changed up. I’m sure this it even wittier.
Reading some reviews, I can tell the very basic phrase like “crying white girl” is offensive only to people who can’t confront facts that racism and prejudice affect lives in ways white folks haven’t experienced. So they should try not to take it personal and open their mind.
bad takes!
glad you're back for another season! plz get into the smoldering landfill fire that is BC politics
