Jewel is the quintessential "girl next door." She is comfortable, friendly, likeable, even desirable, but she is not sexy, and the cheesecake photos don't work for her.
ReplyDeleteI beg to differ sir, at least with the photos of her when she is older. When she was younger, then yes, but she has filled out nicely and wears her age very well, she is sultry and sex on a stick.
ReplyDeleteHopefully she doesn't jack it up with plastic surgery, she could be hot in her sixties.
