Very Famous World

Champagne, Mirrors and Romance at the Poconos’ Honeymoon Resorts ⭐”It’s an indulgent scene for you and you only — or also the person you’ve chosen to be in that room with. It’s a terrific place to be together and alone in. It’s openly seductive and endlessly yours.”
All the Pretty Horse Girls ⭐”As far as I can tell, the first person to use the term “horse girl” as a complete phrase was a phrenologist in 1896 studying a patient who presented as a horse. That is, the female patient acted like a horse, neighing instead of laughing, walking with a horse-y gait, licking people’s hands and ‘show[ing] a high appreciation of friendship.'”
