HALLOW YOURSELF TONIGHT!!
“You’re a girl,” the man replied. “You can’t take off your shirt. Those are the rules.” Reluctantly, I did put it back on but I was mad and not one bit embarrassed. Why did a man have more freedom than I did? And besides, the two of us looked exactly alike shirtless!! Read more
