September 1, 2009Tokio Hotel interview : All this f**king around is useless .....I REALLY LIKE THIS INTERVIEW ...
“All this fucking around is useless”
Today Germanys most popular Twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz are celebrating their 20th Birthday! Within four years they’ve risen from a School Band from Magdeburg to the worldwide most successfull Rock-Group which sold more than 6 Million CD’s and played sold out concerts over the whole world. BILD asked Bill Kaulitz for an intimate Birthday-Interview. The Rockstar speaks about his mirror image “I don’t look in the mirror every morning thinking “Wow, you are such a hot guy!” I have a normal relationship to my face and my body. I’m comfortable in my skin.” his skinniness “I’m almost exclusively eating unhealthy rubbish and I order one pizza after the other. I simply don’t get fat. And I have to disappoint you, I don’t make myself throw up in order to stay thin.” his money “We earn good money, but we are not filthy rich like some people believe. There’s lots of money we could make but don’t. 90% of the advertising deals we are offered, we say no to. Because the brand or products were complete shit. I only wanna make deals for stuff I really like myself.” his luxury goods “I spend a lot of money on vacations. It’s already kinda sick and excessive. But because my vacations are so rare, I wanna enjoy them compeltely.” his status symbols “When I finished school, I bought myself a Rolex, even though I don’t care for watches at all. I simply found it funny to have a Rolex at the age of 18. Kinda dumb, actually.” his sexlife “I don’t have a girlfriend and sex without love is not the thing for me. This is something my brother should waste his time with. There will be a time he will realize all this fucking around is useless.” his preferences “I’m into pretty hands. My first look always goes to the hands. And eyes are also very important. I could care less for the haircolor.” his loneliness “After a concert, when I’m all alone in my hotel room, I sometimes don’t know what to do with myself. Eerything is so damn quiet suddenly.” who he takes to bed “My 4 dogs are sleeping in my bed with me. I could never be without them. The closer they are to me, the better I feel. This is my advice to everyone: Take your dogs to bed with you!” his feelings “I have to admit, there are movies that make me cry. The Notebook, for example. Now probably most people are thinking “Haha, we knew it! That faggot is crying when watchign TV!” his flaws “I think I can be exhausting. And sometimes I’m really over the top with the things I say. And I regret it later and think to myself I shoudln’t have said that.” the end of his career “After my surgery last year I wanted to throw it all away. I just though I don’t wanna hold my face in a camera ever again. But music is the only thing for me. If I would have to get a job education now, I’d have no idea in which direction to go.” his fears “In general I’m afraid something happens to people I care about. Or if something would happen to one of my dogs, I couldn’t deal with that.” his daily routine “I’m a total night person. While recording the new album, I usually was in the studio until 6 in the morning, and then slept till the evening. From the world, I usually only see airports, hotels and our venues.” his daily life “It’s been years since I’ve last been to a supermarket like a regular person. I have no idea anymore what a piece of butter costs. There’s really no normal life when it comes to me.” his birthday “Tom and I wanna celebrate with family and friends. And at night, we wanna rent a rollercoaster, just for ourselves. We haven’t been on a rollercoaster since forever. We lvoe that kind of stuff.” Source: Bild.de Related Groups:

Tom Kaulitz: Fight and look for, find and re-hide!From All Stars Russian Guitarist speaks about fans, awards, dreams, and nightmares of the band. Nightmare for Tokio Hotel “The worst concert we could ever imagine? If the people in the crowd would merely clap, but would never scream at all. We know the fans scream at concerts not because they have bad manners, but from overwhelming emotions. You catch my drift? Laughs... There was this one concert, I remember, they started throwing batteries onstage. That also came from emotions. They need to somehow express them. Our fans are very energetic and determined. They, in general, are the best fans in the world ” Let others dance “I heard a rumor not too long ago, that I dance the Soulja Boy dance. I know this dance. I’ve seen the Youtube videos the ones that teach and just fans doing it. But as for me, I don’t dance well. This dance, especially. From one side, I’m shy and from the other, I’m not a dancer, I’m a sexy guitarist of a popular rock band. That’s enough for me. Let others dance ” “Don’t teach me how to live!” “When people ask us to give some sort of wise advice to fans, I answer: wrong address We ourselves don’t follow other peoples’ advice well and we don’t think we are in a position to give others advice either. Each person should live with his her own mind and go by his her own path. So our only piece of advice is this don’t listen to anyone’s advice, of course unless you’ve asked.” Tom: “I barely recognize my brother when he comes out in his stage image.” “Writing songs is an endless process. We create everywhere and all the time. Even when we ride in our tour bus. For example if I have an idea, I immediately play it to Georg. Or Bill and ask about lyrics for the melody. Sometimes it’s the other way around: he creates the lyrics, and then we write the music to the lyrics. I don’t think Bill leaves his notebook and pen anywhere, EVER. What if he has a great idea Need to be prepared.” “We in Tokio Hotel, like all kinds of different music. I doubt there is one artist or band in the world that all 4 of us would like. So in our personal music choices, we are very mixed. This is the result of our collaborative work ethic. The song is accepted only when everyone “agrees on it”. Tom is perfection “Bad habits? Who, ME? I don’t think I have any. AT ALL All my habits are good. However the others have some negatives. Bill for example can’t sit FOR A SECOND in one place and always shakes his leg. Georg is always late.” Not for fame “Of course it’s nice to receive awards. Especially those, which we receive due to fan voting. But honestly, we don’t really trip about it. In other words, it’s not like we sit and think like: what award do you think we’re going to get next or how do we get it? That which we have achieved to this day has long surpassed our dreams. When we just just started practicing in our little room in Magdeburg, all that we wanted if to get a record company contract and to perform in front of people with our songs. We could have never imagined, that only in a few years we would be sharing stages with huge artists and chilling with them backstage. What awards? ”

January 10, 2009Bill Kaulitz - “OUR NEW ALBUM WILL SURPRISE YOU"Being rather seclusive for awhile, the 4 prodigies from Magdeburg are holed up in a studio to finish their third album. This precious jewel is expected to come out next spring. Between two takes, Bill offers his insights on the situation. You have not been around, lately. Yes, we were in studio to record our third album. It was a very intens and creative period but at the same time, it offered a much needed break for the band. We were able to come together, far away from our usual hectic life. In the studio, each one of us was alone with his toughts and doubts. The moment that we’re away from the spotlight is essential for a band. We’ve returned to the things that really matter. In what kind of state of mind did you approach the new recording? There are a lot of new influences that until now, have not been heard in the sound of Tokio Hotel. Even so, we’ve kept the same crew. Our new album will probably surprise a lot of people and I hope the fans will love it. How did you work? The lyrics and music is the result of our lives since the succes of the band. They handle about our mood, new thoughs and reflexions, and also new wishes and hopes. I’ve started writing some new lyrics in the summer of 2007. Many lyrics were finished while we were on the road, doing tours and just travelling around. There’s one lyric that goes specifically about my home sickness during our tour in the States and goes about all the things I’ve missed. That’s why the album will be in German although there will be an English version also. How does a song gets created precisely? In the beginning, it’s just loose thoughts and scattered ideas. Then, the music gets more defined, sometimes even without really realising it. The moment that the chorus is set, the song really starts to take shape. At that moment, it has to get recorded. A song is too fragile to let it slip away. Do you have many discussions (within the band) before you start recording? Yes, the moment we’re ready to start recording, things become difficult. We have a song but there are many different ways to interpret the song. And we have to find the best interpretation. We, then start to expirement with each song by changing the guitar-sounds or modifying my voice. And yes, that can easily lead to huge discussions. And what worries me a bit is the fact that I’m a huge perfectionist, bordering on the obsessive. Luckily, my other three friends don’t have the same character (laughs). Do you feel pressured by your fans? We try to escape the pressure by making sure we can travel peacefully. But the greatest pressure comes from ourselves. Of course, the reaction of the fans is very important also because we do not want to disappoint them. But we don’t want to let ourselves down either. We do listen to other advice but the final decision is always taken by us. It’s something between the four of us. Recently, the celibrity blogger Perez Hilton wrote that your concerts were playback shows. What’s your comment on that? It’s not the first time that I hear such bull about Tokio Hotel, or some other bands. We’re in the heat of things and our succes elicits jealousy. And those kind of mediaflashs are part of the game. It’s a deceitful attack since the famous Perez Hilton has no proof to substantiate his accusations. Like our manager David Jost said, “The best way to form an opinion is to come to our shows and watch us play.” And we really, really rock

December 30, 2008GOSSIP; .. With Our Girlfriends?Does the boys from tokio hotel have something they might want to share with us? But the boys revealed perhaps a bit more than they should. Right before Christmas, Bill Kaulitz revealed that he was looking forward to the long christmas holidays: - Every year, we have two weeks off and then we tend to go to, well, I don’t know, Tom, and I tend to go to small islands and stuff like that… On New Year’s Eve we tend not to be home, we are always somewhere else, just relaxing on the beach and stuff like that, “says Bill in a video that has leaked on the Internet. - On Christmas Eve, we are all together with our family and friends, “says Bill, and then Georg suddenly shoots in: - And with our girlfriends … - Yes, our girlfriend!! confirms Tom Kaulitz and jump fast forward: - But the plan is, I think, that we will fly back to Germany and jump in the studio and write more creative songs. Topp.no is more interrested in finding out if some of the guys has got a girlfriend - or two, instead of their new album. source: www.tokiohotelrocks.com Related Groups:

December 13, 2008Manager slams Perez Hilton's attack on Bill "Tokio Hotel aren't faking it" from .bild.de ......I LOVE YOU JOST !!!!...Manager slams Perez Hilton's attack on Bill "Tokio Hotel aren't faking it"Tokio Hotel's manager has rubbished claims by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton that lead singer Bill has been faking his US tour concerts – and called him an "internet brat". Tokio Hotel The spat comes after Hollywood gossip legend Perez Hilton labelled Bill Kaulitz and the band “pathetic” on his world famous blog for not playing and singing live during their recent concerts. But Tokio Hotel manager David Jost slammed the attacks as utter nonsense: "The band having been playing their butts off. And of course Bill sings live " Jost added jokingly: “Anyone who has been once to a Tokio Hotel concert knows that. But perhaps we can profit from rumours to the contrary. If anyone who hasn’t yet been to a Tokio Hotel concert and still doubts that they play live now takes the opportunity to buy a ticket for their next concert, then we might think about employing this internet brat [Perez Hilton] as a concert promoter.” Whether celebrity guru Perez Hilton will take up this offer remains to be seen…
Note: NOW TAKE THAT PEREZ ^,.,^ heheheheheh ....thx to brats like you Tokio Hotel will be more known now ^^ ...

December 7, 2008Tokio Hotel Christmas Interview on KIIS FM with JoJoJoJo: All right, what’s this thing you’re talking about that’s not Christmas, but is what? JoJo: Hey, you guys performed at the Jingleball Village and the fans
went nuts, as always. You’re about to do a second performance today, on
the stage, so let’s just get back to Point A. How’d it go at the first
performance? TH (but mostly Bill): Ohhh. Wow…. JoJo: Oh my god. Speed round of questions and say pass if you don’t
want to answer. Do you believe in Santa Claus? I assume you do because
you believe in his little brother Nikola. JoJo: Uhhh. Does my new hairstyle make me look like David Beckham? JoJo: Haha, yeah, I remember. Another thing I don’t think we should
talk about that happened last time. They had never tried Dr. Pepper,
Mountain Dew, or a 7/11 Slurpee. Have you tried it since then? JoJo: Who’s buying the most expensive present for somebody for the holidays? JoJo. Haha, perfect. It’s your walkie talkies. Do what you got to
do. Okay, final question, and this is a strange one. I want you to say,
in your sexiest voice, ho ho ho. And the Tokio Hotel fans are going to
go nuts. So ho ho ho in a sexy voice. The fans are waiting… Related Groups:

Do You Really Like These Tokio Hotel Dudes?From phoniexnewtimes So I’ve never pretended to be an expert on the mind of the adolescent female, and I hate to sound like an out-of-touch old man, but I really don’t get this Tokio Hotel thing. Last night at Phooson, they prompted a wave of shrieks at almost every turn, being topped only by Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, who is, of course, a well-established heartthrob who’s had naked pictures circulated online and knocked up a semi-starlet. Tokio Hotel, though? It’s very odd, indeed. The lead singer of the band, Bill Kaulitz, isn’t so much androgynous as completely feminine and the rest of the guys just look like the sort of dirtballs who somehow manage to schedule nothing but shop classes their senior year. I really can’t pretend to understand, and neither could my plus one, who shared her own memories of screeching for the dreamy Gavin Rossdale at the radio shows of her youth, but was shocked to see the band all the girls interviewed on the radio were talking about. So let’s examine some photos… Yes, this is the band the girls were going crazy for. Again, I’m not even sure these clothes are fashionable - though certainly the bar is a little lower for Germans than the rest of us - but, really, I can’t imagine them being compared favorably to, say, My Chemical Romance, who almost caused a stampede at last year’ Tempe Music Fest, when singer Gerard Way was being interviewed in a booth to the right of the stage. To my untrained eye, these guys look more like the sort of emo dandies the Hot Topic girls love. So, yeah, I’d be happy to hear someone explain this to me. I mean, I’m not suggesting the girls out there have a crush on Lil Wayne or something, but, really, this Bill guy looks a lot more like Boy George than he does any other singer who’s ever had modest success thanks to MTV exposure. Maybe I’m too young, but I don’t remember girls crushing on him. Related Groups:

November 28, 2008Tokio Hotel Takes a Break! FINALLYFrom Star Club No. 253 - France (2008) Bill Kaulitz is saying that they needed a pause because they were very tired. He said that he has been sick several times last year and that it was very hard to be sick far from home. He handled it because their schedule was full but he sometimes took no pleasure to do photo shooting or interviews. It was very the time to stop a bit. Tom said that the album has been postponed because they were not
ready and because they were all exausted and needed to get a big pause
to regroup themselves and get back in shape. Bill said he’s starting to get worried because he’s trusting people
less and less. When a girl flirts with him in an after show he’s always
wondering what she wants exactly, if she wants him or just Bill from
TH. He sais he’s missing having someone but he’s glad he got the music
to keep going on.

November 19, 2008Emmelndorf villa for
Dienstag, 18. November 2008 Emmelndorfer Villa für "Tokio Hotel"? credit to : purplehaze/THA: here's my translation: Emmelndorf villa for "Tokio Hotel"? Neighbours report about mysterious visits in the darkness by Carsten Weede At night darkened limousines drive up in front of the villa Lauenstein in Emmelndorf. A high fence to protect from prying eyes. The rumour mill is working overtime in Seevetal: Supposedly, the guys from "Tokio Hotel" have bought the villa as a place of refuge. Female fans are already there to couch. In mid-19th century, the pastor Moritz Lauenstein, a close confidant of the "iron chancellor" Otto von Bismarck, had built a mansion for his large family on the property. Later, a second luxury house was built next to the actual Villa Lauenstein, where Wolf-Dietrich Lauenstein used to live until some time ago and which now allegedly serves "Tokio Hotel” as a retreating room. The 59-year-old Lauenstein, who has moved into the villa of his great-grandfather in the meantime, doesn’t want to reveal who resides now in the other classy property. "There have been many rumours. Allegedly, Dieter Bohlen and Herbert Grönemeyer have already bought the villa. I will remain mute about it," says the 59-year-old Lauenstein. It’s already two years ago that the members of the Magdeburg boyband moved to Hamburg. The twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz, singer and guitarist of "Tokio Hotel", are registered residents in the Hanseatic city, where also their producer David Jost lives. Even if they are not registered in the municipality of Seevetal, the pop-stars could theoretically use the villa in Emmelndorf as a hideaway, confirmed municipality spokesman Andreas Schmidt. "The house has been completely rebuilt in the past few months," said neighbour Traute Meyer. But who’s moved in there, she doesn’t know unfortunately In the neighbourhood, there are a lot of rumours: "Some say that artists live there, others say it is a brothel," says Traute Meyer. For her, it’s all very mysterious. Related Groups:

Google translation: Euphoria to Venezuela The band from Magdeburg is to become export hit - Even experts marvel by VON ANTONIE STÄDTER HALLE / MZ. Tokio Hotel could be something quite big. It was on an evening in April 2007, as Melanie Fürste realized this. There were four boys from Magdeburg in the main concert hall of France, in Paris Zénith, euphorisierten before thousands of fans. "When the French girls' Durch den Monsun 'on German mitgeschrien have, for me there was no doubt more," said Fürste. As a press manager at Universal Music, the world's largest record company, they manage a lot of bands. But something like this she had not yet experienced. "That was independent and was no longer to stop." The four from the Tokio Hotel have become real international stars: Israeli fans gathered 5 000 signatures, so Bill, Tom, Georg and Gustav also could occur in Tel Aviv, the New York Times reported on them and how incidentally, were the four overwhelmed with music prices. Without end, until today: Recently, they won the MTV Europe Music Awards. "Tokio Hotel is the largest phenomenon, which the industry currently has in Germany," says Hubert Wandjo, professor of music business at the Pop Academy Baden-Wuerttemberg. A phenomenon that works internationally: In total 18 countries have Official Tokio Hotel fanclubs. Even in Venezuela: in October at the MTV Latin Awards they won "Best Fan Club" award. Several Goethe Institute are pleased with the growing interest in the German language. Because, although it also provides an English-language album: "At the concerts abroad, the fans always demand that at least one song is sung in German," said Melanie Fürste. "If German artists abroad are successful, then often when they sing German," said Hubert Wandjo. But how is the worldwide success of the former province-band Tokio Hotel also to explain? "When a company like Universal once its international machinery anwirft, there are few white spots that remain," says the music business expert. Then the phenomenon exported voted the country in which the single appears, where and when the boys promotion and go on tour. As the first German band Tokio Hotel was at Universal the "priority status": In each country where the label is active, it must be marketed. Around the World on "This marketing machine must be fed constantly," explains Wandjo. Therefore it needs protagonists who are willing to many markets and cultures set - and above all by steadily World geschleust them. The four teens seem to be as professionals. Fan-cult but was only partially taxable, says Wandjo. Such processes would certainly not in motion, if the quality of the songs and the attractiveness of the band not voted. Crucially, he stressed: USP. The abbreviation for "Unique Selling Proposition" describes the marketing language in the unique position of a bid. The guys from Tokio Hotel are just not a Boygroup in the usual sense - that is their look too specific, their songs to rock. But they have a similar audience. "They fit exactly into the requirement profile of a very young audience," said Wandjo. Most are female fans between twelve and nineteen years. Besides Tokio Hotel uses a strategy, already in Take That and the Backstreet Boys attacked: The band members are assigned permanent roles. Front man Bill with his oversized hedgehog hair, black eye makeup with black and painted fingernails embodies the fans for a spell androgynous beings. The emotion with which he songs about puberty usual subjects - love, anger, fear of the future - sings, fascinated. "A front man like Bill can be found, if at all, only every few decades," the band manager David Jost said. But Bill's three colleagues also contribute to the Tokyo hotel in cult. As would be his twin brother Tom, in the Baggy-pants hip-hoppers and are happy with women's stories brags: "If I'm honest, I do not believe in love. Except in the love for a night" - such verdicts are not uncommon for the 19-year-old guitarist. "He is so cute!", The many admirers on the Internet. And then there are the two "G" s, and Georg Gustav, which remain in the background and some fans are just so idolizes. So much so that there are sites like www.georg-gustav.de.vu with youth magazines such as the "Bravo" are invited to learn more about the two to bring. Circulating on the Net but not just languish on the contributions of young stars. Tokyo-hotel-hater provide themselves with the fans in discussion forums long bitter floor fights. "I think Tokio Hotel shit. They only make our punk ridiculous," writes one. "A sure sign that the band is interesting," commented Wandjo. Inertia in the U.S. The Internet also has the international boom in the group transported, he is sure: "In the U.S., there was already a fan of inertia, as her promotional tour has begun." Since the beginning of the year is a focus that even the American music market to conquer - what artists such as Robbie Williams previously failed. In early December, there are concerts in the United States. Whether the four Magdeburg there will create the breakthrough? Music business expert Wandjo can be well imagined. credit to Coolbreezegirl/tha Related Groups:

November 16, 2008ksta.de: TH - Target of German malice
credit to : purplehaze/tha
http://www.ksta.de/html/artikel/1218660792755.shtml Tokio Hotel - Target of German malice By Eric Arrow, 11/06/08, 16:34 Internationally, the pop band Tokio Hotel is overwhelmed with fame and glory, in this country the four boys reap only malice. This is not about the music, but about concentrated prejudices. But not only the success proves the boyband right. That the pop-business is evil and fast moving, should have got around. But even here, there is such a thing as justice of the times: Eventually, once every stupid joke is made, there is a chance that the view is free and perhaps one just sees the truth scurry through the picture. An unwritten law in the pop-business states: The greater the success, the more simple and gloating/malicious sometimes the criticism - particularly in this country. In the case of Tokio Hotel, Germany's easiest target for humorous awkward persons (literally: somebody who has problems with his gross motor skills), everything, on what we like to empty out the trash in this country, concentrates from the beginning: criticism of Tokio Hotel and its androgynous acting singer Bill Kaulitz was mostly pure malice. And it was less about malice about the music, rather than bundled malice about the "foolish youth", about sexual ambiguity, about East Germany and of course about the evil music industry, that suggests dangerous dreams to young people and enslaves and exhausts them afterwards. Most attacks against the band followed at least one of these principles. For everyone who has just something against young people, androgyny, East Germans or escapist pop music, Tokio Hotel was a welcome reason for bad-mood-reflexes. But while all cheerfully - and at least as longingly for public as the band itself – were failing at Tokio Hotel and taking delight in experimental hairstyles and failures before the interview microphones, the supposed One-Hit Wonder has become the most successful German Pop Act for ages. And in a country where pop stars have to be either representatives of common sense, total chavs or wind-up dolls. Anyway, there has never been any case of so much highly backcombed mystery as Tokio Hotel. The seemingly most serious accusation against Tokio Hotel, who are nominated for two MTV European Music Awards in the categories of "Best Act Ever" and "Headliner" this Thursday, is probably that, accordingly the band is an artifact designed on the drawing board of producers: a bizarre accusation in a business, which since the fifties, with increasing precision, served dreams and longings and always dealt with seduction and world escape. In this context - and just as distinguished from all uniform Bohlen creations - Tokio Hotel are the rare case of an almost perfect, internationally competitive German-pop product. Especially because it combines in a unique way authenticity and clever marketing. The career of Tokio Hotel began in 2003. Bill Kaulitz, then 13, had failed at a "Star Search" show with a performance of "It's Raining Men", but had intimated to play in a band called Devilish at home in Magdeburg. The producer Peter Hoffman, a specialist for children's music, sensed the potential and took a look at the band in a club. Even back then, Kaulitz' disguise was located somewhere between manga figure and fantasy. Hoffmann and his co-producers (including the ex-boyband singer and today's Tokio Hotel co-lyricist David Jost) immediately sensed that the talent of the four boys could be transformed like a row material through systematic training into a successful product. After an initial record contract was cancelled, Hoffmann and partner signed with Universal and got the teen-mag "Bravo" as a major supporter on board. "Durch den Monsun", the first single, hit it big immediately and met a market, which absorbed eagerly the teen-compatible version because of the success of German-language pop-music. Here, too, the quality of Tokio Hotel becomes apparent again: their songs - embarrassed by no pathos, no world-weariness and no great gesture - make of puberty a clever pop-musical - credible and cheesy inflated at the same time. But without front man Bill Kaulitz – this 19-years-old, who has more glam and drama in his little finger than all unsophisticated/boring/bland competitors - it probably wouldn’t have worked. Now - after more than 5 million sold records, sold-out tours and countless awards - the band has even taken off internationally long ago: They were in the French Top20, played in front of sold-out halls in Russia, reached No. 1 of the Mexican radio charts and made it even in the American Top40 with their first English-language album - open end. Germany may as well go on laughing. It’s still better one laughs about Tokio Hotel than about the other unrivalled German best-selling product: Mario Barth. Related Groups:

CINEMA BIZARRE MENTIONS TH ....now they are nice ^^
Strify had this to say regarding the translation mistake from a russian
interview that said that Cinema Bizarre hated TH and that they were
enemies:
Howdy howdy howdy Sorry for making being online so rare, but I am pretty busy. There's much to do and my head is so full of ideas. As I have seen and read, there must be some mistake with the translation of our MUZ TV interview we had in Russia. I don't know where the mistake comes from. The translator claimed that we said, that we are enemies with Tokio Hotel and we think we are a lot better. It's not true that we said that, and because a lot of angry and upset fans have written us, we just wanted to right the wrongs. I have a lot of respect for the work of Tokio Hotel. Our music is different and the fact that people compare us to each other is just because there aren't many boys they know who are wearing make up. It's the most easiest comparison they can find. Have a nice Thursday Strify. NOTE : I guess i now like them ^^ and have no anger against them ...thx alot Strify for explaining it for us ^^ Related Groups:
