Um…. well, actually, it’s not that much of an anomaly. At least not in my experience. My wife tends to go off as I do, I doubt we’re the only ones. You can tell when your partner is close, and that can be enough to push you over the edge as well. Not that it’s an every-time thing, no. But not that uncommon. Again, in my experience.
I would like to think it’s actually less rare than a double rainbow. Considering the sheer amount of, well, coming that people do all around the world on a daily basis, I’d say the odds are favourable ^^
No, 201 is merely Intermediate Lesbianism. And 202, the spring term class, is notorious for being a ‘weeder’ class that eliminates the dilettantes. For the advanced class, you have to move on to third-year studies, starting with 301.
From what I understand that’s the origin of the term. A unmarried woman over a certain age is like a stale cake after the holiday it was baked for: nobody wants her because she’s old and crusty. Gross, huh? (Also stupid because everyone with any sort of taste knows that older women and holiday leftovers are both awesome.)
It’s not exactly the most flattering of terms in Japan as it refers to the old idea that women, like Xmas Cakes are less popular after the 25th but to a western otaku, a Xmas Cake is any hot female character over 25.
A Christmas Cake is any single lady over 25? I thought the minimum age for a Christmas Cake was significantly higher than that. Although come to think of it, too much higher and it would blur into “cougar”…
…just looked up the definition of Christmas, unsold after the 25th. Heh, now it makes sense…! xD
Judging by carla’s comment am pretty sure it’s ruth’s unless she meaned “her” as in billie’s that is….
Also, is it just me or do it seems people comment here slower then they usally do the last couple of weeks? Usually there’s like 50 comments barely 3 min after it’s posted and now it’s no more then 20 or something >_<
Most of them seem to get around 250 comments or so, generally speaking, for the non-controversial ones. When I get home from work, the strip’s been up for an hour and there’s usually about 130 or so already there. However, I know my schedule’s been thrown off by the holiday; probably there’s a lot of others out there who are also unable to spend as much time on the Internet as is their usual wont.
I expect it’ll all be back to normal by Wednesday or so.
I’m imagining something involving a choke hold and the use of a very lucky Amazon order that arrived in a plain brown package on Ruth’s doorstep just that morning.
The most unrealistic thing about this comic is that there were like four people in the dorms who knew about different hockey teams and whether they were good. In America.
Heck, I could drive the equivalent distance from Indiana to Toronto and still be in California. It’s not that far. Plus, we live in an Internet age, where distance is no barrier to information. I can be a fan of ice hockey as easily as in Indiana.
Heck, you don’t even need the internet. I live in San Jose, and we are all about the Sharks here. The preferred name for their home turf is the Shark Tank, because nobody likes the new name.
I had the same thought. I mean, maybe it’s because most of my friends still aren’t even sure how American football works. But it’s weird to me that anyone other than Ruth and Billie would know the name of the Leafs, let alone know enough to be derisive about Billie liking them.
I’m in /Maryland/, and hockey is a big deal here. Partly because DEATH TO PITTSBURGH, but also Maryland likes sports where beating the shit out of one another is the goal. Our state sport is jousting, for chrissakes.
Also, DIE PENGUINS DIE
I see. Well, I’m from Pittsburgh, and the following is a film clip of the best thing that could ever happen to Baltimore in this or any other universe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-uqZJwOieA
I think a lot of people in other parts of the country don’t realize at all how popular hockey is in the Great Lakes, Northeast, and northern plains states.
Is there a single important relationship in this comic besides Dorothy and Walky that isn’t completely toxic? Amber’s insisting on using her false persona to date Danny wand Billie and Ruth are depressed, suicidal alcholics.
Does there have to be actual dating? Joe/Roz was important and, asshole though she may be to others, they were clearly both happy with it. It might not qualify as a relationship, though.
I dunno, Amber coming clean to Danny put the relationship in a better standing, and I get the feeling that he keeping the AmaziDan relationship going is in part to try to turn that part of her personality less negative, since Dorothy’s article helped her make it less of an unpleasant outlet. It’s far from perfect still, but I don’t know if I’d call it toxic, either.
She actively disassociates herself from having sex because “Amazi-Girl is the one doing that” and the comic where it’s brought up makes it pretty clear that there’s not a good reason for her not to date Danny as Amber. Hell, the fact that she has to pin the act of having sex with her boyfriend on her alter ego is plain enough that Amber is in desperate need of help.
Speaking of lines, Carla’s observation here has a long way to go to top Dina’s short, blunt, and to-the-point quip about the Walky/Dorothy ‘Slipshine’ tryst.
Billie is being a seductive little minx. Her manipulating in the situation is only because she realises Ruth is turned on, and she thinks they’ll both have fun.
THIS is the alpha bongo Billie wants to be. She has the residence bully wrapped around her little finger. She taunts and she teases, but it the end sexy, scary Ruth is no match for her sexiness. If it weren’t for all the destructive ingredients of their relationship it would be quite beautiful.
The look on Ruth’s face in panel 5 is priceless. Her lover was bare assed under that jersey all along, parading along the hall and Ruth didn’t know it. What would really be funny is if Billie was wearing their new strapon too and now she’s humping Ruth against the closet door..
Hockey… Try living in Finland. If I remember my numbers right, we have most professional hockey players per capita in the whole world (only about 5 million people and a shitload of hockey players). When there is international games of any kind you can’t miss it. It’s everywhere. Not that I mind. Hockey IS the best sport.
WOW, that was fast! From rage to horny in… about ten seconds? Billie is a MASTER at manipulating Ruth’s feelings. And, other parts of her. (BTW, totally called this.)
Happy birthday, Willis! Unfortunately you share it with Nigel Farage, xenophobic homophobic unfortunately-successful politician of Britain. Ironic considering the content of today’s comic.
I feel like Billie and Ruth have the healthiest relationship in the whole comic. Seriously they both seem to help better eachother, they act more naturally with eachother then with anyone else, and they also argue like an old married couple. Seriously lets get a new version of “The odd couple” staring these two.
If they didn’t have worse problems than their relationship I would be tempted to agree with you. Problem is that it enables their drinking and makes it harder for them to seek help since they now has to keep their relationship hidden
As I read it, the thing which is turning Ruth on right now is that fact that Billie is offering to take the Leafs Jersey off for her, just like Ruth wants. It’s just that Ruth hadn’t thought through all the…consequences…of that particular strip-tease.
I thought it was a “Why don’t you make me yell that the team you love and you know I look down on is the best team ever while you pump something inside of me.” As one of their dominance games.
Loading ...
Ruth is even ruthless when it comes to putting her shirts away
You should see what she does to her overalls.
Ooh a fellow Tnemrot reader
Uh, more like writer. That’s David Herbert, I wonder why you didn’t connect the dots.
I actually liked his gravatar so much i looked up and binged the entire run of Tnemrot. Great read so far
Woops XD *goes hide*
I almost beat you, Jen. I had typed out a hasty “BEATR YOU” before realizing my name and email for gravatar weren’t filled in. DAMN YOU, ASIDE!
We can’t win them all…
I beat Jen Aside once
Besides, if you’d managed to post what is, essentially, a ‘FIRST!!’ post, Willis probably would delete it. He’s
coola jerk like that.I’d rather be the second post with a clever or thoughtful comment.
couldn’t you just post something like a single character first, then edit it to have a longer comment?
There is no way to edit posts on this board that I am aware of…. more is the pity.
I installed a plug-in that was supposed to allow folks to edit things within a 15-minute grace period, but it didn’t actually work, so oh well.
It worked.
JUST AS PLANNED
I love it when a plan comes together.
That’s not the only thing that’s going to be coming together.
Physiologically, that’s ridiculous.
Statistically, it’s more rare than a double rainbow.
Then what is it with people thinking it happens constantly?
Call it wishful thinking.
Awfully nice when it does happen, though
Um…. well, actually, it’s not that much of an anomaly. At least not in my experience. My wife tends to go off as I do, I doubt we’re the only ones. You can tell when your partner is close, and that can be enough to push you over the edge as well. Not that it’s an every-time thing, no. But not that uncommon. Again, in my experience.
Also, you know. The wordplay.
It takes practice.
It happens pretty often, actually. And physically, it’s pretty nice!
I would like to think it’s actually less rare than a double rainbow. Considering the sheer amount of, well, coming that people do all around the world on a daily basis, I’d say the odds are favourable ^^
I see double rainbows quite frequently…
Never had it happen personally, but considering how much of a..Reaction there is when the lass does, I imagine it would cause the lad to quite often.
That Becky avatar is perfect.
Billie must be some kind of tactical genius!
CRRREEEEEEEEED
That’s not closet banging, that’s a Stormsword turning its siege cannon.
Was Billie planning this when she woke up and wandered out into the hall in Ruthie’s Leafs shirt?
Yes I call her Ruthie. I think she’s psychotically adorable. :3
Either Billie got Ruth a strap on or that is some INTENSE FINGERING going on in there.
Sex that doesn’t cause structural damage to the furniture or room hardly counts as sex at all.
See, THIS is why I voted for Ruth/Billie again for next Slipshine. Curious minds want to know what is going on in there!
I kinda regret voting otherwise, now…
My guess would have been for INTENSE HUMPING up against the cupboard. (It’s not intense if it isn’t CAPITALISED).
My second guess would be that either Ruthie or Billie found a cucumber in Ruthie’s fridge.
My thoughts exactly. That last comment of “Finally” had me wanting to see more.
Hear hear.
Generally, very loud thumping during sex is usually caused by the bed hitting the wall, which can be achieved in a variety of ways.
OMG, who is that cute gravatar?
Celesta Jones (aka Cebus) from Kiwi Blitz; also the main bad guy at the moment.
That is Jones(I think) from Kiwi Blitz
Oh wow! LOL! I’ve been reading “Let’s Speak English” for months but I didn’t know about this one. Thanks
My floor is vibrating….
Your avatar makes that 10x better.
She figured out how to do Robin’s hand-vibrating thing. Epicness ensued.
SCISSORING INTENSIFIES
so that would be, what, garden shears?
Bolt cutters.
Chainsaws.
They don’t call it FINGERBANG for nothing!
This isn’t just your everyday regular lesbianism. This is ADVANCED LESBIANISM
Welcome to Lesbianism 201?
No, 201 is merely Intermediate Lesbianism. And 202, the spring term class, is notorious for being a ‘weeder’ class that eliminates the dilettantes. For the advanced class, you have to move on to third-year studies, starting with 301.
IIRC Billie did say she was going to get one for Ruth at the end of that Slipshine.
Ultra Car/Carla is a Christmas Cake? Who would have thought it?
The term “Christmas Cake” as I understand it (unmarried woman over 25 years old) has little or no bearing to this strip. Explanation, please.
It the alt-text. Ultra-Car/Carla was first created 28 years ago today.
Thank you. That covers it.
First time I have heard that phrase. And an odd phrase it is.
Indeed. I would have interpreted it as meaning those little cakes the Japanese use to celebrate Christmas…
From what I understand that’s the origin of the term. A unmarried woman over a certain age is like a stale cake after the holiday it was baked for: nobody wants her because she’s old and crusty. Gross, huh? (Also stupid because everyone with any sort of taste knows that older women and holiday leftovers are both awesome.)
It’s not exactly the most flattering of terms in Japan as it refers to the old idea that women, like Xmas Cakes are less popular after the 25th but to a western otaku, a Xmas Cake is any hot female character over 25.
A Christmas Cake is any single lady over 25? I thought the minimum age for a Christmas Cake was significantly higher than that. Although come to think of it, too much higher and it would blur into “cougar”…
…just looked up the definition of Christmas, unsold after the 25th. Heh, now it makes sense…! xD
Woah, that’s the first time the Leafs have scored in quite a while!
Oh gawd, I needed that laugh, thank you.
Ba dum TSH!
Is this what they mean in hockey when they say “Pucker up”?
Okay, that comment will not be topped in this thread. Well done.
Hey, the comment could be a power bottom.
What can you say, Leafs fans are always getting screwed.
*slow clap* Well played, friend. Well played.
ah, sports puns. or sex puns. both really.
They’ve dropped the gloves, pulled their jerseys over each others’ heads, and have gotten into a clinch.
They’re not making love, it’s just a hockey fight.
Oh that is too funny. That’s good enough to be alt-text.
Go leafs
OH SNAP! You gonna take that Billie? Carla just said you are as wide as a closet.
Beats being in one
*zingo*
I’m counting that as a win… probably isn’t but it felt good
Hey, if you’re gonna stay ‘in the closet’, you might as well be in there with a friend.
Given enough time, the two of you might eventually break the door…
This is pretty much where I expected this to go. I mean, Billie fills out a jersey very well, and it’s Ruth’s jersey and Ruth’s team…
And Willis said “Let there be another Slipshine!”, and there was more Slipshine. Evening and morning in Ruth’s room, and it was good
I accidentally a word there. “Evening and morning passed”
Evening and morning, heaving and moaning…
…and there was much rejoicing! (yay!)
My god those two are adoreable.
Wait. . . are they in Ruthless’ room or Billie’s room? I’m so confuse
Ruth’s, I believe. She and Carla have the single rooms next to one another.
In Ruth’s room. Ruth is next to Carla.
It must be Ruth’s, because Carla’s room isn’t next to Billie’s.
Whoops, looks like someone else answered first.
I’m pretty sure it’s Ruth’s. If it were Billie’s Joyce and Becky would be hearing this.
AND HER BRAIN WOULD EXPLOOOOOOOOOODE
Judging by carla’s comment am pretty sure it’s ruth’s unless she meaned “her” as in billie’s that is….
Also, is it just me or do it seems people comment here slower then they usally do the last couple of weeks? Usually there’s like 50 comments barely 3 min after it’s posted and now it’s no more then 20 or something >_<
I hate when you respond to someone and then you find out 5 other people manage to get inbetween >_<
It’s also annoying when the same thing happens at an orgy.
Controversial comics are more likely to have a lot of posts within a short time.
Most of them seem to get around 250 comments or so, generally speaking, for the non-controversial ones. When I get home from work, the strip’s been up for an hour and there’s usually about 130 or so already there. However, I know my schedule’s been thrown off by the holiday; probably there’s a lot of others out there who are also unable to spend as much time on the Internet as is their usual wont.
I expect it’ll all be back to normal by Wednesday or so.
Truly, the most valuable thing the Leafs have ever contributed to society.
…Go Sens.
LGRW
As a Flyers fan… Let’s Go Flyers. Next year. Grumble.
I’m honestly surprised Carla hasn’t figured out by now that Billie and Ruth are in a relationship if the walls are that thin.
The walls are made of cement blocks….
Plot twist! They aren’t that thin. Ruth is just VERY enthusiastic in her extra-curricular activities.
wow, billie is actually just the cutest
happy birthday david and ultra car!!!
I’m imagining something involving a choke hold and the use of a very lucky Amazon order that arrived in a plain brown package on Ruth’s doorstep just that morning.
Well that would make sense, she’s a Leafs fan and they are the masters of choking.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpYEJx7PkWE
The fact that Carla shares a wall with Ruth possibly means that she knows about Ruth & Billie…
…constantly yelling at each other and not having hanky panky (drunk or otherwise) in the closet
Carla is probably not in her room most of the time.
Damn I got here pretty fast. I love that fast on Billie. Might even use it as my next gravatar.
“Go Leafs: a Dumbing of Age Pornagraphique”
Thats a slipshine name if I’ve ever heard one.
Is this how they court people in Canada? Because if so, I now have another reason to want to go to Canada.
Unless you’re in Toronto that’s a way to get people to hate you.
My girlfriend is Canadian. I can verify that tactics like this can go far
Dammit Billie…quit being so damn cute!
Especially while wearing that maple leaf’s jersey!!!
Well, at least the second part of your request got taken care of.
Bangin’.
darn you billy, and you ability to be adorable and get out of trouble. granted these two are absolutely adorable together if a bit bad for each other
Good ol’ Epic Hate Fucking, Canada style.
The most unrealistic thing about this comic is that there were like four people in the dorms who knew about different hockey teams and whether they were good. In America.

There’s a lot of hockey rinks in Michigan, and Indiana’s the next state over so I imagine it would be the same.there. Hockey is a big thing up north.
But yeah, hell if I personally understand football or any other sport lol.
I’m in /Maryland/, and hockey is a big deal here. Partly because DEATH TO PITTSBURGH, but also Maryland likes sports where beating the shit out of one another is the goal. Our state sport is jousting, for chrissakes.

Last time I was in Baltimore, the street exploded. It wasn’t quite like that, though.
My mom’s from PA and she was seriously disappointed Maryland wasn’t as big on hockey as they were when she first moved down here.
And seriously, our state sport is fucking JOUSTING.
You. I like you. But I hate Pittsburgh more.
It’s a lot like Canadian football. The goalposts are mounted a little differently, IIRC.
Dude, I live in Michigan, which is directly north of Indiana, and ever since I moved here it’s hockey this, hockey that, hockey everywhere
I think a lot of people in other parts of the country don’t realize at all how popular hockey is in the Great Lakes, Northeast, and northern plains states.
I forsee a h8f–k duel between Ruth and Mike in the future. For ultimate epictude.
Unlikely. If anyone is likely to knock Mike out for one of his typical nasty comments, it’s Ruth.
Oh um… happy birthday. Apparently we share it.
Billie can be adorable when she wants to be.
There’s another Slipshine coming (snicker), isn’t there.
Every time I see the nose shadow on the characters’ faces I keep thinking they have miniature elephant trunks or something.
Why is it that Willis gives some of the sweetest lines to the most toxic couple in the strip?
Because secretly, we all enjoy our adorable self-destructive doomspiral and would be sad if it were gone?
(SEEK COUNSELING, RUTH AND BILLIE!)
Is there a single important relationship in this comic besides Dorothy and Walky that isn’t completely toxic? Amber’s insisting on using her false persona to date Danny wand Billie and Ruth are depressed, suicidal alcholics.
Does there have to be actual dating? Joe/Roz was important and, asshole though she may be to others, they were clearly both happy with it. It might not qualify as a relationship, though.

Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, David!
Likewise, and many more to you.
I forgot you share a birthday with my little brother. Happy birthday, David Willis!
Happy birthday to you sir!
Go leafs!

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL
SCOOOOOOOOORE
Happy b-day, Willis!
Billie’s the cutest in that 4th panel.
Happy birthday Willis and UC/Carla.
It seems to me like Billie’s being a wee bit manipulative here.
Billie is being a seductive little minx. Her manipulating in the situation is only because she realises Ruth is turned on, and she thinks they’ll both have fun.
Billie’s and Ruth’s relationship containing an unhealthy ingredient? INCONCEIVABLE!!!
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
I’m not capable of imagining what you might mean with that!
(seriously though – do I use it wrong? second language and all that)
“Princess Bride” reference. Maybe I should have swiped JA’s avatar for that comment.
Oh, I know the reference. I just wondered if I actually used the word wrong.
Since you were using it sarcastically, no.
Thanks
egh, I dunno… all seduction takes some manipulation, whether it’s on the stranger at the bar or your spouse of 20 years.
Billie slammed Ruth’s closet door open all right.
THIS is the alpha bongo Billie wants to be. She has the residence bully wrapped around her little finger. She taunts and she teases, but it the end sexy, scary Ruth is no match for her sexiness. If it weren’t for all the destructive ingredients of their relationship it would be quite beautiful.
Dem Sexytimes
Cheerleader magic!
Can we get a new character poll so I can officially upvote the hell out of Carla?
I was going to say the same thing, only with slipshine *blushes*
I thought there was going to be a joke about throwing the jersey on the ice somewhere.
It’s more like a buttload of heat, mostly for the leaves.
(Happy birthday Willis)
How many of these birthday things are you going to have? It seems like you just had one.
I thought the accepted sound-effect for wild rambunctious hanky-panky (premarital or otherwise) was
thumpasprung
thumpasprung
thumpasprung
That’s for beds. Up against the closet door sounds different.
damm, that is some weird shirt going down.
so then Carla is saying that Ruth is in the closet? or trying to get out of the closet?
The look on Ruth’s face in panel 5 is priceless. Her lover was bare assed under that jersey all along, parading along the hall and Ruth didn’t know it. What would really be funny is if Billie was wearing their new strapon too and now she’s humping Ruth against the closet door..
Hockey… Try living in Finland. If I remember my numbers right, we have most professional hockey players per capita in the whole world (only about 5 million people and a shitload of hockey players). When there is international games of any kind you can’t miss it. It’s everywhere. Not that I mind. Hockey IS the best sport.
I had to read this 2x to get this.
yes, the sexy part was obvious, WHY ( panel 4 ) was not.
cut off: Ruth gets to lay A Leafs Cheerleader, So to Ruth, its triple the sexy: A cheerleader, for the Leafs and its Billie
And Billie is VERY happy to be a cheerleader and someone’s fantasy again.
The more I read the strip, the more I’m convinced it flows better if the fourth and fifth panels were switched.
The thing that turns Ruth on right now is probably not “Billie is wearing a Leafs jersey.”
It’s “Billie is now acting like a Leafs cheerleader.”
Happy birthday Ultra Car and Willis! I swear, I had presents but the velociraptors ate them.
Looking at everyone’s noses in this comic is like the “don’t think about your tounge” gag. Everything is fine until.. oh no
Why would you do this to me!?
You are now blinking manually.
It’s sexy time!
some hyper-aggresive jersey folding goin on in there… gonna tear the stiching.
Joyeux anniversaire ! Happy birthday ! Tanjoubi omedetou !

………….-Grabs Popcorn-

The funny thing is, today is actually my younger brother’s birthday. And his name is also David.
Happy birthday, Davids!
“GO LEAFS” is almost an anagram of “FOLIAGE” :/
I could anagram BILLIE: GO LEAFS…
…but FOLIAGE BELLS just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Forgot an i
*FOLIAGE IS BELL
If you isolate the three Ruth panels, you have the best facial expression transition of all time.
Is your avatar Glenda the Plan 9 mascot?
WOW, that was fast! From rage to horny in… about ten seconds? Billie is a MASTER at manipulating Ruth’s feelings. And, other parts of her. (BTW, totally called this.)
It’s not THAT large step in their case… but yes, she is and she is.
It just occurred to me that the single rooms would be near each other because of the structure of the building, making Carla and Ruth neighbors.
Billie is good, but Ruth apparently can let herself be easily distracted too.
At least as long as Ms. Billingsworth is involved.
This was supposed to be a replay to Deanatay’s comment above……
memo to self: quit posting from ferschlugginer cellphone with it’s dambed autocorrect.
Feliz Crumplezone.
Cumpleaños. Whatever.
Huh. Carla talks to herself.
Also: Happy birthday!
I think i’ve really rarely seen any char on DoA thinking (as in visual bubble thinking), so you sometimes have them talking alone instead
Yay, completion of another lap of the local star. Go give UC/Carla some cake.
Slow on the uptake, the Ruth is.
Happy birthday, Willis! Unfortunately you share it with Nigel Farage, xenophobic homophobic unfortunately-successful politician of Britain. Ironic considering the content of today’s comic.
I feel like Billie and Ruth have the healthiest relationship in the whole comic. Seriously they both seem to help better eachother, they act more naturally with eachother then with anyone else, and they also argue like an old married couple. Seriously lets get a new version of “The odd couple” staring these two.
…That’s like saying the USA and Soviet Union had the healthiest relationship.
If they didn’t have worse problems than their relationship I would be tempted to agree with you. Problem is that it enables their drinking and makes it harder for them to seek help since they now has to keep their relationship hidden
You mean besides their stated intention to drink themselves to death together?
Happy birthday Willis! I hope you had cake or somethin’.
And to Ultra Car too.
Is this also the canonical birthday of Carla?
I think he said somewhere that that’s May 28th? (The date Walkyverse Ultra Car transitioned into a humanoid frame.)
Walkypedia confirms this for me, as my brain is full: http://walkypedia.wikia.com/wiki/Carla
Haaaaaawt. Also, kinda cute. Good set up, Billie!
As I read it, the thing which is turning Ruth on right now is that fact that Billie is offering to take the Leafs Jersey off for her, just like Ruth wants. It’s just that Ruth hadn’t thought through all the…consequences…of that particular strip-tease.
I thought it was a “Why don’t you make me yell that the team you love and you know I look down on is the best team ever while you pump something inside of me.” As one of their dominance games.
Actually she’s turned on by the idea of her NOT taking the jersey off.
You’d be surprise what gets a dom’s gears going.
Channeling The Beatles for some reason…
“Come together, right now, over me…”
Man, aroused Ruth should have her own tag
really Because Queens’ rock you came on my pandora when I saw this strip I though it was a sign.
ULTRACUTE BILLIE ALERT IN PANEL TWO!
that has GOT to be one of the cutest billie faces ever- and one of cutest sexy come-ons ever too
really made my day- thanks!
Billie’s face is fantastic.
and then sex happened….alot…..intensely.
