Jackass: A Prom Story

i went to this show, because a friend was going... I didn't know these girls... but I'm so happy I went.

you don't have to be a chris farah fan to enjoy Fancy, but you will become one. Fancy is one of those characters that has a lifetime ahead of her, and I can't wait to see where she goes!
