KimKardashian

I have been thinking recently about how easy it is to determine if someone is successful based on how they ‘look’ on their public profiles.

By myself then.’ Def. Clique – a close knit group of people who do not readily allow others to join them.  I can’t stand cliques. What a load of bollocks.
