What It Means To Be A Shameless Woman
What does it mean to be a shameless woman? Recently, Helen Mirren praised Kim Kardashian and other modern women such as Madonna and Jennifer Lopez ‘I’m not into the Kardashians, it’s a phenomenon I just don’t find interesting, but – and this is the big word: B-U-T-T – it’s wonderful that you’re allowed to have a butt nowadays!
