Read MoreAnother Weird Party, Another Publication Photo
Another “Night Of Fame.” We just had to go. The theme was Old School vs. New School Divas. This time Cassie came home with the Best Costume prize, and it was well deserved. She had to walk through Fallon’s parking lot in that get up….in front of people…..and it was unnerving. I, on the other…
