In the first part of our interview with Taya, we talked love and Bret. Below, we tackle the other issues that arose as a result of her time on the show: accusations of superiority, the difference between her work and stripping, the Penthouse issue, her tumultuous dealings with the other girls on the buses and her portrayal in general. Most surprisingly, Taya isn’t sure if she’d like Taya just based on what she saw on TV…
You were often accused of acting superior to your peers. What do you say to that?
I’m not saying that there weren’t situations that I didn’t think I was above. If someone’s throwing themselves on the ground, drunk and stupid, I would never do that. I’m above that situation. It doesn’t mean I think I’m better than anyone. I’ve been down my own path, and I’ve made good and bad decisions. I have no right to judge anyone’s path. I’m not Mother Teresa. I think I have a different coping mechanism than some people.
Did your frequent distinguishing between what you do as a burlesque feature entertainer and what strippers do arise because you actually care about your craft? That’s how I interpreted it, anyway, after reading your blog.
I used to be a stripper. Not knocking strippers, but it’s not a part of my past that I’m particularly proud of because I never felt comfortable doing it. I hate using the word “stripper.” I have a lot of friends that are dancers and the term “stripper” seems a little derogatory. When I say “stripper,” I cringe a little bit. Maybe that’s what people are picking up. I’m not cringing about strippers; I’m cringing about the terminology. I know a lot of great women who’ve put themselves through college, supported their children. It’s kept people off welfare. I’ve seen girls get doctors degrees being dancers. So there’s no shame in it. But for me, I’m a professionally trained dancer. I was given a college scholarship for performing arts. There was always that entertainment value to burlesque dancing that appealed to me. If I have to do this, I want to do something that doesn’t make me feel like I’m not being entertaining. When I was at a strip club, I always got the feeling of being looked at as an object or having someone lust after me. When I’m onstage, I have more people compliment my theatrics, my show, my music, my lighting, my choreography, and my props. The total entertainment value of my show as a whole. When I take offense to that terminology, it’s because I’ve progressed past that. I’ve tried to take the skills that I’ve learned as a stripper and that industry and move it over. I do a lot of mainstream venues that are burlesque. Burlesque is in the eye of the beholder. Nudity isn’t really what my show is about. In a four-song set, I’ll be naked for one song. I’m not doing lap dances. I’m not doing the things that define a stripper’s income. If a stripper goes to work and just does her stage performance, she starves. Because of Penthouse and the other things I’ve accomplished in my career, I’ve been able to build a brand so that venues go, “We want to bring her in because we know she’s a draw.”
I think maybe your peers gathered that your position is a matter of status and responded negatively to that.
There are different levels in any field. Here’s a good analogy: Robert Schimmel is a very established comedian. Good friend of mine. Nobody would go up to Robert Schimmel and ask him to do an amateur open mic night. Is being a burlesque feature entertainer better? Not necessarily. It’s just different. I have little girls, 18 years old that are just getting started coming up to me and saying, “How do I get to be a feature?” I tell them it’s not for everyone. I talk a lot of girls out of it because for some girls, it’s not financially and economically feasible. It’s a big investment in costumes, props, promo. It’s like starting a small business, and not everyone can make money doing it. If stripping is a short-term thing for these girls, it’s better if they stick with it so that they don’t have a lot of overhead and so they can make their money and go home.
Did the girls beat you down at all? You strike me as particularly sensitive.
In my real life, I bounce back and forth between working and my son. I don’t have a lot of close friends. In this situation, I liked a lot of the girls, actually. Even the ones that annoyed me: I got it. I got that they added value to the show. Obviously, I didn’t run in Ashley and Farrah’s circle, but there wasn’t a day that passed that I didn’t laugh at something they said or did. I still can’t stop saying, “Lame,” which makes me crazy. There’s something about their personalities that’s very entertaining. I had no beef with any specific girl. So, finding out after in everyone’s exit interviews that people had a big problem with me…I almost hate saying this because there is a cocky connotation to it, but I felt like it was almost because of a jealousy/threat issue. If you notice, a lot of the condemning of me came when it was clear that I had a connection with Bret.
How do you look back on your falling out with Mindy?
Mindy wasn’t at a happy place when she came on the show, and she shared a lot of that with me. I offered to open my home to her. I was a very, very good friend to Mindy. It’s especially hurtful watching the show, because I didn’t realize the magnitude of how badly she was rolling me under the bus, stabbing me in the back. I don’t think Mindy went in there with the intentions of hurting anybody. I’d like to think that she’s a good person. I think that she got caught up in the game of love. I think she had true feelings for Bret, but got to a point where she started strategizing. And that’s where she took a bad turn. That’s were she started sabotaging herself. It inadvertently started making her look bad, and that makes me sad. Mindy, in my opinion, is a good, sweet girl. I think I could have had a friend for life with her, had she not done what she did. Now I don’t know that I could ever trust her as a friend because of what she was willing to do.
Your job as a Penthouse Pet was controversial in the most basic sense of the word. Any regrets on putting that out there like you did?
No. There had to be an agreement between Penthouse and 51 Minds for me to be allowed on the show, since I was already under contract. Penthouse basically said, “We’ll let her do it, but she has to be able to say that she is who she is. We don’t want to have her on there as a face with no name.” There’s Laurie and there’s Taya, and on this show, for the first time ever, I blurred that edge. It was a decision I didn’t have a choice in making.
Is that part of the reason why you wore the Penthouse shirt in your interviews?
I didn’t intend for that to be my interview outfit. They brought us down to do interviews and then told us we had to wear the same thing in every interview after that. So, it wasn’t a conscious decision. I think it’s kind of funny. My bosses obviously love it but I took a lot of crap for it. And basically, that’s all the agreement was between Penthouse and 51 Minds: product placement. Like, we’ll let her come on but you have to let her say that she’s with us. You have to let us get something out of it because we’re potentially losing her for two months. I knew I’d take heat for it. As far as promoting, I was already Pet of the Year. There was nothing for me to gain personally by promoting Penthouse.
I thought you explained that well on the show – that it was ultimately an inconvenience to your bosses.
I pursued the show on my own. I was going to go on as Laurie, as myself. As it turned out, I went on as Laurie under my alias “Taya.” It’s funny that it became such an issue, because I thought that the “perfect” references were ridiculous. How could being a Penthouse model make me perfect? Definitely not for a senator, but maybe OK in the life of a rock star. There would only be a certain genre of person that might be accepting of that status. Bret was able to accept it and he understood that I was there for him. That’s all that ultimately mattered to me in the end.
Beverly told me a story about showing up at your 30th birthday party/show, drinking your booze and then basically telling you off. What was your take on that situation?
I know people saw my altercations with Beverly, but I still saw great things in Beverly. She was extremely passionate about her kids. There was a lot of good in her. The thing that hurts me the most was reading her interview, when she talked about coming to see me at my show. None of how she depicted that was how it happened. First of all, she came to see me the day before my birthday. My birthday party was covered in Penthouse magazine. The club paid tons of money for that coverage. The place was packed. If she had come that night, I probably wouldn’t have been able to find her a seat. So she came in, she gave me a hug, we talked. We basically swept everything under the rug. She even apologized for the way she treated me on the show her last day. I was hospitable. I wasn’t kissing her ass, I was just like, hey, the show’s over, your relationship with Bret had nothing to do with me, there shouldn’t be any hard feelings between us. I paid for their entire bar tab, and she had brought a bunch of people with her. I took care of them and treated her very well. At that point, only one episode had aired. Nobody knew who she was. I brought her up on stage, the MC announced her as Beverly from Rock of Love, everyone went crazy. If I am “holier than thou” and “Miss Perfect,” I sure wasn’t that night. I focused my energy on making her feel special because she came out to see me. I thought it was a friendly gesture.
There were no negative words exchanged?
She told me, “I came here to throw a drink in your face, but now we’re cool,” as she was walking out the door. She didn’t say it aggressively. It seemed like a joke. Maybe those were her intentions, but the way I interacted with her made her not do that. It was very friendly and drama free. You know, I don’t care if Beverly doesn’t like me, but she doesn’t have to lie. I don’t hold any animosity or grudges. I think if I saw her in the street, I’d still say, “High-five! Rock of Love!” I don’t wish her harm, but I thought that was very ungracious and disrespectful. She came into my house that night.
When we were chatting before the interview, you mentioned that you didn’t know if you would like Taya, the reality show character, if you weren’t actually her.
I’ve tried to watch the show very objectively. There have been times that I’ve screamed at my television, “It didn’t happen like that!” or “I didn’t say that like that!” The editing process is really unique and they’re obviously good at it and it’s why these shows are so popular. But I’ve had to look at it objectively, just like when I read your blogs. I laugh at myself in a good way. You kinda beat me up sometimes, but I can laugh at myself. There were a few episodes that made me take a deep breath and say, “God, I don’t even really like me right now.” Just how it all broke down. There were times that I knew that if I didn’t know me, I wouldn’t be on Team Taya. But I know who I am, I know what I bring to the table, I know I’m a good person and I know that I have a lot of love to give. So, I’m frustrated by the criticism just because 99 percent of it is not accurate. You only saw a small glimpse of the real me on this show.
By saying that, though, you’re acknowledging the fact that when people respond to you, they’re more responding to a representation of you, rather than your core.
Right. There is a un-reality aspect to reality TV. I’m a very complex person. I’ve got a family persona, and I’ve got a “work face” I can pop on. You have to have a hard shell to work with people in the adult industry. You don’t want to just expose your weaknesses. So, when you see me being emotional on the show, I think you see the realest parts of who I am. I think a lot of that stemmed from me being emotionally invested in the experience. I bonded with Mindy. I bonded with Bret. I had a lot of emotions invested and you see at the end, I kind of broke down. A lot of the stuff that you didn’t see, as far as Bret’s critiques at the eliminations, the problem that he may have been having with me seemed to revolve around this one-percent thing: “I’m not sure if you’re acting through it, I’m not sure if you’re too good to be true.” When you see me getting emotional, it’s because I’m so tired of being misunderstood. Sometimes I’d have a moment with Bret where I really felt connected, and when he’d mention the problem again at elimination, I’d think, “I thought we got past that. Maybe we didn’t.” So it was very much an emotional roller coaster. And you can never understand it until you’re in the situation. Bret saw the real me. And most of those interactions were not shown on TV, for whatever reason. Good conversation and a true building connection will always take a back seat to drama and trauma on reality TV.
Keep up with Taya via her MySpace and her official website.

Okay so I totally can’t belive Brett picked Taya. She’s hella ugly and was only on the show to promote pentouse. She made that very obvious. Mindy was so genuine and real and would have been the perfect wifey for Brett. So therfore I wont feel bad when Taya dumps him and takes every dime he’s got. “Golddigger” is Taya’s real name. Oh and did I mention the fact that her face is super ugly. I personally thought Jesse was his perfect match I was obviously wrong, but still Taya “PUKE”….. Sorry brett but you kinda lost me as a fan with this one!!!
Okay Im glad I have so many other people that agree Taya’s a hoe….. Miny Rocks they should make a show for her…..
BRET, IT’S ABOUT TIME YOU PICKED CLASS OVER TRASH. TAYA IS BEAUTIFUL SHE HAS A GOOD HEAD ON HER SHOULDERS AND SHE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU. SHE CAN HANDLE YOUR LIFE STYLE AND WILL BE THERE FOR YOU WHEN YOU GET HOME. MAYBE EVEN ANOTHER LITTLE BRET RUNNING AROUND. THIS TIME IT WILL WORK OUT AND YOU WILL HAVE YOUR ROCK OF LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER. MINDY WAS A FRUIT CAKE AND NEEDED TO BE PUT BACK IN THE BAKERY. SHE IS UGLY, COULD NOT HANDLE YOUR LIFE STYLE AND WOULD FUNK OUT ON YOU. CONGRATULATIONS AND CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEXT “ROCK OF LOVE BRET AND TAYA WEDDING” HEY SINCE I THOUGHT OF THE SHOW WHAT ABOUT AN INVITE :)
BEST OF LUCK!!!
im glad he picked taya,,i am goin to see bret michaels at the house of blues here in myrtle beach at barefoot landing on june 10th we shall see if taya or the other girls are present,,,,
I was VERY DISAPPOINTED that Brett picked Taya over Mindy!!!! Taya just dosn’t seem his kind. I believed Brett picked Taya only for the fact she is a Penthouse pin-up to help boost his aging career? That relatinship won’t last long Taya being around younger men within her work industry. She will find someone else before Brett even gives her the ring. I’M SO DISAPPOINTED!!!
I have to write about Mindy in a new comment section since she is a much higher quality than the one Brett picked. I know Mindy will find the perfect guy for her becasue I feel she is TOO GOOOD FOR BRETT!!! Brett you lost me as a fan. You picked TRASH OVER CLASS!!!!
Don’t worry on the reuion they will break up. Then it will be time for part 4.
I have to agree with many of the comments below. You made a big mistake Bret. Mindy was real, but you celebrity types cannot deal with real can you? So no wonder you picked Taya. It will never work. Love cannot be achieved with a fake person. At least not real love!!
KG
So glad that Bret picked Taya over Mindy. There needed to be a violin playing every time Mindy would speak because she was always whining and in one of her “moods” and feeling sorry for herself. Taya was the winner and deserved to win! Congratulations because Taya was the girl who had the most class! Mindy needs to check into a mental health clinic for her emotional problems. She always whined when she didn’t get her way and was very annoying.
Congratulations to Taya the Winner! :-)
Ok…but are they together or what? These questions are kinda stupid if you ask me. Nobody cares about how she felt about the girls or the Penthouse!! Cut the b/s questions already…geezzzz!!!
TAYA, you are fake. Gross. Nasty. I don’t think there is one word that can come close to explaining how ridiculous you are, and the more you talk, the worse it gets. The entire world has seen your ugly naked body. Classy? I think not. Bret could have found someone like you in any town on a street corner. Don’t blame the editing of the show. You suck! Between your “feature dancing” (no matter what you call it, you take your clothes off for money), nakedness on Howard Stern, kissing an intern on Opie & Anthony… You are pure TRASH!
Mindy (Wendy Whiner) can never make up her mind. Seriously, this chick is 34 years old and doesn’t like kids? She whined when she had to “help” take care of kids early in the show. Then she expects Bret at the reunion to “take her back”?? What a needy headcase! She doesn’t even realize how high maintenance she is!
Taya is the one who had it altogether. She was respectful of Bret, didn’t whine to him, and is a mother herself like Bret is a father.
It’s pretty obvious why Bret picked Taya over Mindy. Bret knew he couldn’t have a conversation with that Wendy Whiner ever with her always crying and complaining.
Mindy Sucks Balls!
Well, looks like you may not get the ring afterall. Mindy opened her heart finally and the look on his face and the kiss he gave her showed himself that he picked the wrong person.
You made the big screw up by saying at the moment on the beach that you would have married hime then, but then on the show, you said you weren’t sure, etc,etc.
The look on his face showed a bit of concern. I do believe Mindy may be getting a phone call for them to hook up and she may eventually get that ring she picked.
Too bad for you Miss Perfect, Mindy was the better choice. She loves him and has the time for him. Better luck next time.
Hey Jean, get a fricking grip. It’s a “reality show.” Bret said he would never go looking for “love” on a “reality show” and that it is just entertainment. Mindy is a freakin nightmare. Bret knows she is a headcase who is high maintenance. He would never let himself get involved with a fruitcake like that. She doesn’t even like kids for christ’s sake! Guess what? Bret has two kids! Is Moody Mindy going to suddenly “love children” because of Bret’s two kids? HELL NO. She is a BASKET CASE. She went on a “reality show.” If she wants to “fall in love”, then she should register on a dating site like EHarmony. MINDY is the fruitcake who is “IN LOVE WITH THE IDEA OF BEING IN LOVE WITH A ROCK STAR.”
Everyone knows she is a fruitcake! Bret will kick her to the curb and hire special security to keep her from stalking him! Haha! :-)
Are we done yet????? Jeez I can’t believe i watched another RoL! I said I never watch another and here I am at the end of #3 and still disgusted on the way Bret micheals chooses his women. I see him with theses young girls and think to myself,” Wow!!!! He’s old enough to be their Dad.” And even more disgusted that nobody cares. Can we choose another Dude to be on ROL and a little close to their age group!!!!! I’m sure there is someone out there!!!!
TEAM MINDY?
You may not like taya, but saying she has a ugly #!!(^)`@~&^%*!$ body? who are you kidding, her body is flawless
so i love the fact that bret picked Taya. She was my fav since the begining! She is beatiful and a strong woman. Penthouse had nothing to do w the show because she was already pet of the yr. My grl Taya was already successful and honestly didnt need bret to make her any more famous… Thanx God he sent mindy home ..she was ugly. Mindy stab taya in the back, she is a fake person and if mindy could not be faithful to taya than how could bret ever trust her??? please. btw MINDY GET OVER HIM N STOP CRYING HE DUMPD U! HA!
AND…Bret, why did u keep beverly there so long???? she was ugly and werid and ugh puke! plus she kiss ur homie…f tat! love to Taya ur the bomb grl! xox bret this has been ur best pic yet…
Taya was so mean on the reunion. Like, seriously? What the hell was she saying to Mindy? What a (%#%`@%__%~`@&@`+ Closure? Mhm. Sure. Flavor Flav picked a girl like Taya – Deelishis – who now sings and has a jean line. She was business minded and they didn’t work out. I think the same will happen for these two. Taya may be pretty, but she’s a cold-hearted snake.
Get ready for Rock of Love of love 4. Taya will not last with Bret for sure.
On a side note, anyone notice how much Ricky valued Mindy on the reunion show? IDK, but I think he was liking her. Mindy was also feeling Bret and he looked truly regretful, though. Hm. Interesting.
Ugh! I swear what a trashy girl. She just has an excuse for everything! Always having to have a perfect answer for all the questions. She’s so fake it’s not even funny. I mean, the crazy chick who stole the used socks would have been better than her, and that’s saying A LOT!
I think Brett made the best choice and that is taya, Mindy is a back stabbing sneak who would try to get what she wants , watch out Brett she seems like a stalker or worse fatal attraction, I think most woman don’t like Taya is because they are jealous , Taya you are better person than all of them. You add class to the show and more realism than anyone else did.
saw the reunion last night,, im still glad he picked taya,, mindy i think took a page out of the bachelor playbook with the melissa rycroft and molly melaney story,, mindy i think all the wanted was to get out of working at old navy, she seemed to me kinda needy,,,,bret would have definitely got bored with her,, men do not want wishy washy yes ,, women,, they want someone to fight back and i think taya can do that,, she will keep him on his toes for sure,, again im seeing bret on june 10th at the house of blues,, at barefoot landing,, will let you know what happens,, next,,,
i have vip tickets upstairs,,, and close seating,, im goin to look and see whose there,,, and spy gglz,,,,,bret michaels at the house of blues ,north myrtle beach @ barefoot landing june 10th,, i will be the blonde sitting upstairs,,,,,,,
one more thing,,,, mindy called taya a %#@~!^#&_+@#*@~## for posing nude,, she gave it up twice on the show to bret once in texas on their solo date at the concert and on the finale show,, she is such a hypcocrite,, also she was on another reality show using another name,,,,
Yeah I mean Mindy is kind of whiny but hey she blew it buy not expressing her feelings and uttering ” I love you” Taya (regardless if she was there for Penthouse or not) at least did. Sure who knows what really was the deal w/ Taya but hey she said it Mindy must be kicking herself now because she knew she was better than Taya but if she spoke up and expressed herself she would have ended up with him
My sister last night had an intersting facebook quote that most musicans know how to write great awesome chart-topping ballads about love/relationships but yet they can’t never fix there own. If anyone was reading the interview from Bret himself he even says that he’s fixed everyone else’s relationships but his. Hmm?? maybe it’s called Bret maybe it’s time to focus on ur kids and trying to actually have a relationship with someone for once ya know. I don’t care at this point if it’s Mindy or Taya or whomever else but he needs to fix himself before he fixes others. Many people are like this they care selfishgly about others but yet they neglect themselves (I’ve done this too) but it’s obviously catching up to him I don’t want to see him do Rock of Love say like 5 0r 6 That would look terrible
Honestly he’s got alot to think about now
Hey I thought Taya was awesome. I think that she’s too good for Bret, who just treats women like objects. I personally think that Taya should also pursue a singing career because she can really sing.
Go TAYA! Don’t let the haters get you down.
Taya, You don’t love Brett. You need go on with your life with your son. Brett is not wanting to settle down. Obviously he would have by now. You are just a toy to him. Another etch on his pole of using women. Take your son and run out of Bretts grips so you dont have a reason to cry.
Taya, You look like a clean well mannered mature lady. Look at how Brett came on the reunion show…..Dirty not shaved scruffy and in need of clothes. Maybe full of STD’s. He is not your type. You deserve better than a washed up 80′s rocker with no self respect and old enough to be your father. Look at the Big Picture. He is gross.

I am happy that Bret picked Taya and I wish them the best of luck. Mindy was a rollercoaster. Who is she to say that Taya is not real. Just look at how Mindy answers all the questions. She sounds like a robot.
Who freakin cares anyways. All these idiots stating that Taya is this and that. That is for Bret to decide. The show is just for our intertainment. No one can sit there and say who Bret should date or that he made a mistake.
Also, there is a reason why Mindy is at her age and has never had a ring on her finger, etc. She has is too emotional. She is not comfortable in her own skin. She first has to love herself before she can love anyone. Also, it was a little pathetic that so called “fans” make her feel good about herself. It should not take a person to make you feel good about yourself. It seems she always has bad days. Good thing he didn’t go down that path because she would have played too many mind games. She needs therapy.
For the idiot on the reunion show. He said that Bret made the right decision with Jes and Ambre. That is funny because why aren’t they still together. Why don’t people see the big picture?
The sad thing about all of this is that Bret and Taya might not work out because the media is going to draw them apart.
*entertainment. woops..:)
Taya,
First of all congratulations! Finally Brett has someone with class! Let’s hope he deserves you. I was saddened when he did not stand up for you while you were being bombarded with nastiness all the while he’s sitting right next to you. ANYWAY, I can’t tell you how much respect I have for you after watching both the show and the reunion show. I think you handle yourself with grace and dignity, and Mindy needs to take note. I can not believe that she @%%_$(*`_@)^*@! umed throwing herself at Brett would possibly win him over.(She needs professional help.) I think Brett got the best girl of all 3 seasons and is a fool if he doesn’t “put a ring on it”. Good luck to you Taya, you deserve it.
I think he should have picked mindy over taya but whatever i dont have to leave with that choice..anywho i think its soo funny that on the reunion show he is like like do we both have to sit over here…lol i found that funny why wouldnt you want to sit next to your new rol? anywho bring on season 4
that was supposed to be live with not leave with
Did anyone else hear the clip where taya said that she “didn’t expect to fall in love coming on this show” if the the statement is true, don’t you think that maybe she was going on the show just to promote penthouse? try you tubing her.. she is all about promoting promoting promoting. and she was on howard stern, slutty as crap, lap dances everywhere. I want to know what Taya thinks the difference is between a stripper and an exotic dancer is, because i think they are the same thing. Mindy looked more in love at the end of the show then Taya did. Taya looked like she just won a bunch of money. And Mindy wasn’t crazy, she was just in love and trying everything she could to make sure that she was his. Its called love.
Are you guys listening to yourselves right now? It’s a show.
I think that you and bret will not be together for long im not saying i hate you but i thing he should pf picked mindy sorry but that what i think
Mindy was nuts I can’t believe anyone would think she should have one. Taya was so sweet all the time and Mindy just stabbed her in the back, what kind of friend does that? She walks like a man too and Mindy looked really pathetic on the reunion show just like she did on the show. Taya is so much prettier and she seems to have everything together and Bret definately made the best choice!
Poor Bret, You are not pretty, you look old and fake as hell, UGHHHHHHHHHHHH
I THINK NEITHER ONE OF THEM WERE RIGHT FOR BRET MINDY OR TAYA FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT THEY WERE FRIENDS AND IT WAS AWFUL THAT IT CAME DOWN TO THEM ……AND THAT CAME BETWEEN THEM BAD….BRET NEEDS TO LOOK FOR SOMEONE OFF SCREEN …..DONT GET ME WRONG I LOVE THE SHOWS BUT THE ONLY GIRLS I SEEN WERE THERE FOR OTHER THINGS NOT HIM…..HE IS ALSO GOING AFTER THE WRONG TYPE OF GIRLS
DO NOT LOWER YOUR STANDARDS BRET BUT DONT SETTLE FOR
WHATS THERE ….EXPAND YOUR HORIZIONS ……SOMETIMES NOT LOOKING IS A GOOD THING ….CAUSE LOVE CAN JUST DROP IN YOUR LAP ONE DAY…..YOU ARE MEANT FOR SOMEONE
JUST LIKE THE REST OF US ….GIVE IT UP TO GOD CAUSE HE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT KNOWS WHO IS YOUR SOUL MATE AND WHO IS NOT …..YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU THINK
IT BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE YOU OR ANYONE BE AS LONELY
AS YOU HAVE BEEN….IM THERE SO I KNOW BUT LIKE I SAID
THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE FOR ME JUST LIKE FOR YOU
LOOK IN OTHER PLACES OR DONT LOOK AT ALL IT WILL
COME TO YOU ….HANG IN THERE I REALLY HOPE THIS GETS
TO YOU BRET …..THIS IS THE ADVICE YOU NEED.
TALK TO YOU LATER LOVE YOUR FAN TINA
What a lovely day for a 3573098! SCK was here
