day,
 Rochelle,
 who
 spends
 so
 much
 1me
 as
 a

ring
 girl
 that
 she
 has
 enough
 swimsuit
 photos

to
 fill
 a

 por9olio,
 decided
 swimsuits

were
 op1onal
 that

 she
 plowed

 in
 place
 on
 her
 wrist
 (it
 matched
 the

ou9it).

 Like
 Kris1na,
 the
 beauty
 of
 the

photo
 for
 me
 is
 that H0
