It is super bizarre they would charge you for doing their interview. They should have given you that set free for doing the interview. You were essentially hired as a hand model.
I don't know exactly how the interview was presented or the different markets where it aired, but from a legal standpoint it looks like it may be considered a testimonial, which is a type of advertising. If so, then they'd probably need to disclose if the model had received compensation of any sort, whether in cash or in kind (ie, products or services). I'm sure you've seen these types of disclosures before. They're often in typed at bottom of the screen, saying "* paid spokesmodel" or "model received compensation for appearance." The exact legal requirements vary based on the jurisdiction. The fact that we didn't see a disclaimer indicates the nail shop probably did not want to use a paid model. I assume they were seeking someone who'd be willing to be "paid in exposure" and just want the chance to be in the video. Both paid & unpaid advertising gigs like that are OK, but the problem here is that the company should've confirmed the details with the model ahead of time. Most models expect the company will pay for their time and just disclose whatever is necessary for legal requirements. I think the company should have told her if it was not a paid gig. Otoh if we are being fair, most models who care about compensation would've confirmed in advance before going
She is young so I understand. She should have asked if she would receive a discount etc prior to the interview and since they were texting, it would have been in writing. They played her honestly probably due to age.
As a nail tech . . . I’m here to tell you THEY ARE MONEY HUNGRY ! That’s crazy that they charged you like that for something to promote THEIR business. Smh . If they were crazy enough to charge that for something they asked for they could have at LEAST stated that they wanted that much and let you decide if you wanted to do it ..
Exactly, like at the very least make sure she understands the underlying details of the promotion such as pricing. They had to know that she wasn’t gonna think she was being charged full price for something THEY asked her to do in order to promote THEM..
Lays and Cheetos are greedy. Charging you for those interview nails should be criminal because it was purely promotional for their benefit. It’s not even a style you would have chosen for yourself.
As a nail tech myself, they did you bogus as hell. No one would ever have that experience with me. And being as that you were a loyal client to them that’s crazy. I truly believe you get what you pay for & charging worth, $170 for a fill & that design and your charms were falling off is crazyyy. Super unprofessional. If I was in Philly & took clients you would never go to anyone else purr
Hey Gabby, I don't know if you have considered this, but another thing is if you're supporting these businesses by tagging them, you're putting your reputation on the line for a business that hasn't compensated you at all. Like imagine you go to a place where your favorite creator says it's reputable then you get scammed or mistreated, you might not blame the influencer themselves, but you'll think twice the next time they recommend something, which as a consumer is great but as a business (which you and your brand are) it hurts a lot and makes it harder for you to negotiate your prices. You know most people would understand that you were just promoting your fave businesses, but there are always those ignorant people that will spread hate and say you're promoting scams, so you're putting your name on the line for free.
Idk I’m more likely to go to a place someone really likes and isn’t getting paid to say they like it because lowkey those are scams considering they don’t even use the brands most of the time 😂🤣. That’s why they have to put advertising . But I do see what your saying . If she loves it but knows her worth I’m ALL FOR IT 🔥🔥
Right I like how she admitted that she loved the nails and that it was the best place ever nothing wrong but once something went off she started listing all these bad things since the beginning so it like damn so she hid all of this and is now barely telling us ? Idk I mean I love her and all but yeah I agree
@@Loveu129 Other than the pricing and commercial i dont fault her for "not telling us" about their negative qualities. If i heard someone talking about a shop's negative services when i am happy with the service im being given i wouldnt feel the need to say something unless lt was something wild) i would just start paying attention the next time i go for the service. Also Gabby did say she stopped tagging them in her post, and i think thats good enough without having to make a formal video on their bad service.
@@ItsNaeBihhh.Daaah6 I can see where you’re coming from however you have to remember this is their job. That’s like your boss asking you to come in on your day off to work for free so you can prove how much you love your job.
If you was driving out on their request to get your nails done to advertise their shop, I would think THEY would be paying YOU for publicly sponsoring them. How are you finna charge me $250 dollars to do what YOU *asked* ME to do? That shit is crazy. 💀
Girl...see this is why I do press ons now. WAY cheaper and they still look good and are cute af. Ever since COVID nail salons been wildin w/ the prices fr
Girl i was paying 100 MINIMUM for nails right. Brought my cousin with me one day for a day out to spoil us, and they treated us like we were gonna walk out while getting our nails done with No pay.. Asking for us to pay in advance before we even got to our fingernails started. I definitely stopped going and started investing in doing my own. Im buying a kit this month🤦🏾♀️ I pay too much to be treated weird
I remember the car story from like a year ago, that was crazy 😂 Wow that’s messed up, it’s like they knew you had $ or assumed you “could afford to pay” whatever price they wanted to try to get out of you. And you even went out of your way in multiple ways. Not right at all, that’s taking advantage of a loyal customer’s kindness
They trife 🥴 I would’ve told them to cut the nails off right then and there… $250 for nails is robbery- I wouldn’t have paid that $170 either, I would’ve walked out
I’d tag that same news station so they could see this video. When Lays brought up your sister that was a different level of disrespect. Karma is always watching.
im only a few seconds into the video & im definitely going to watch the whole thing but I paused at "170 dollars for a fill with french tips and a gem" you've said enough im on your side
gabby, i love your content and i just have a piece of advice: kindness sadly doesn’t get you much in life. i always see people taking advantage of you and you are such a sweet and kind young woman. i really am inspired by your way of life and how you are transparent about your struggles. we support you in everything you do. it just really sucks to see people take your kindhearted nature as a means to benefit from just not genuinely enjoy or appreciate. i hope you’re still doing well much love ❤️
this is the reason i would only go to private nail artists.. the way they are way more respectful and listen to what you ACTUALLY asked for, i will never go back to a nail salon. this is exactly how they ALL are.. money hungry… i have not been to one nail salon that hasn’t screwed me over ngl.. instagram/private nail artists are about those prices, way better quality, & even more professional than a whole nail salon 😩 ((edit: those nails you got are so cute tho fr i want to recreate those))
After all the appointments you’ve been to and posts you’ve tagged them in, they should have reciprocated something! No set prices is a red flag for me. I’m sorry they took advantage of you.
Greedy is an understatement. A huge understatement. They shouldve let you get your nails done for free since you did the interview for them. For them to bring ya sis up...beyond disrespectful...
As a new cosmetologist I can agree! They don’t post prices and it makes it hard for me to understand what I should be charging people 😭😭😭 I don’t wanna overcharge but also don’t wanna undercharge. Even asking people these questions as a fellow nail tech it’s hard to get answers!
With nails it kinda depends on the time too bc doing nails with design, acrylic, flat design, rhinestone and charms, and them some nail techs charge by hour when doing art, $250 is od
BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS ONE GABSS. They defff should of allowed you to have the nails for FREE since you're representing THEM and taking TIME out of YOUR day to do so.
Chile yes you should've 100% made them PAY for requesting YOUR time!! Definitely from Philly and know EXACTLY which shop you're taking about LOL...I used to go to them like 4 years ago, the husband did my nails too and I stopped because of the saaaammme reason! Making up prices every time! I can't believe this is STILL a thing with them! I taught myself how to do my own nails during quarantine but trust and believe I had no problem paying a cute little coin for my nails but they have to be top tier quality. The price gotta match the work! And to be very honest when you REALLY inspect the quality of the details it was never that! Plus we all know Kensington ain't the area to be just walking/standing around outside LOL and my appointments used to be the first one as soon as they open and they were NEVER on time to open up the shop. I used to have to sit and wait in my car until the decided to show up.
I haven’t gotten through the video yet but their whole response is crazy. The back & forth is crazy & unprofessional. They’ve been waiting to throw those things back in your face. You don’t owe them anything . You paid for your services & as a business if there was something they didn’t want to do or wasn’t a part of their services, they could’ve simply said so. Throw the whole business away. I’m sorry you went through that.
They are VERY greedy it’s sad… people don’t realize consistency in prices you charge is important. And them reaching out to YOU and expecting YOU to pay full price, isn’t entitled in my opinion. Okay from watching the rest, they’re playing disrespectfully with you because you’re a businesswoman/ entrepreneur… I don’t like that. Just sad. They literally lost their most GENUINE customer plus some customers off promo out of kindness. Don’t let them change your character Gabby. They’ll get their karma.
She ain’t lying I went to a salon to get clear tips with gel design and the owner did my nails charging me $60. Next time I went owner wasn’t there and they tried to charge me over $100 for the clear plain nail tips with no polish (wanted to paint them at home). That moment I realize that if the owner isn’t there the workers try to charge what they want. Needless to say I paid the same price as the first time because they had me messed up. This is the reason I do my own nails now.
I’m driving so imma come back so I won’t wreck bc I gotta pay attention to every detail of the video!! But yess Gabby I used my last lil coinage to order the pint sweat suit you have on and I lovee it. I recorded myself trying it on lol glad you back! 💗
I use to go to that nail salon, and stopped going cuz I showed him a inspo pic and he said he didn’t feel ok copying the entire design, so he added all this stuff that I never asked for and charged me 125$ I didn’t argue, jus paid. I feel like they made up prices as they go. The nails were beautiful but they really jus make up prices.
YALL! that’s me she’s talking about switching out the sweatsuit lmao i have the email and everything 😭 and yes the service was amazing ! Love you gabby❤️
that is dead wrong they called you out of the blue to get your nails done for them.you didn’t ask to get your nails done so for them to charge you when you took time out of your day and you had other obligations to yourself. That is so disrespectful I would’ve walked out. your patience is amazing
Girl, I don’t blame you one bit for not tagging anyone anymore! People take things for granted and get greedy af anymore! Honestly all you can do is be yourself and don’t feel bad for expecting people to act right. Don’t let anyone take advantage of your niceness. I work retail and people shock me every day with the entitlement and straight up disrespect.. Lol you just gotta keep your head up and don’t let it change you. You’re so sweet and beautiful lol stay kind & safe!!🫶🏻💕
It’s crazy that I have seen the work went to the salon. I recently moved to philly and I did not like the service. The owners were very nice but what they have offer for the clients. Everything was overpriced, no price list clear for clients to see. When girls go to the nail salon we go for the experience and service. I don’t think they care about reoccurring clientele just interested in making a quick buck.
I’m definitely one of those people that would buy something or go to who my favorite influencer did, so unless they’re compensating you or just genuinely nice definitely don’t tag them. You’re so kind tho❤️
After C19, the prices doubled, but the work did NOT improve... Glad I got licensed so I can do my own! I thought the Brooklyn 2018 incident would put a dent in their chokehold on folks...guess not!!! 31:35 Wow, they are SUPER ungrateful & you got used!!! 34:30 The AUDACITY!!! Your "loyalty" to them reset every single time you left their shop!!! They need a more regulated/itemized price list so you can see and tally up your add-ons, but that's how they can finesse folks so easily!!
Oh wow Gabby, I feel so sorry, they definitely took advantage of your kindness, because they got free promo from you by doing that interview and tagging them on Instagram and on top of that you were their loyal customer, who spent thousands of dollars in their salon already. Plus you took the time of your day and went to their place for free to do an interview modeling and promoting their business, it's so sweet. Those nails should have been for free and if it was up to me on top of that I would have payed you for your kindness and for all the good things you were saying during the interview about my business. It's so sad especially considering that you were their loyal customer who spent so much money there already yet on top that they asked you to pay 170$ for some freaking nails, like is there gold in those nails or what? Are these nails doing your college work for you or what? Why are all these salons so money hungry nowadays?
They were careless and maybe on drugs? 🤔 No way I would have cussed them out. They obviously don't want your money, but they need your money, and they stopped their own bag. Idiots.
I hope you’re doing okay babe , I thought about you and see you haven’t been uploading . You are strong ! Don’t let this rough spot break you Queen ! You got this !!!
Just wanted to say cause I’m at 13:01 right now but it has been sooooo hard to trust nail salons, I feel so jaded with their kind and invasive personality but soon as the talk of price comes up (always at the end) I grit my teeth before they say some outstanding amount and then get offended I don’t have enough tip money when the price raised. My mom made the mistake of handing me money in the techs face and for some short simple lumpy black acrylic (no gel) it automatically came up to $80 dollars. I honestly gave them the money ($100) and said I’m doing my own nails from now on. Never went back since. That was the most desperate experience and my final straw. Rooting for the girls who are starting their nail businesses to break the stigma and to provide service the girls neeeeed! KEEP UP THE HARD WORK!
In that interview you look so beautiful as always. Missed you last month n glad you’re “backiddy ackiddy” lol I feel like I’ve heard you said this before 😂❤️
Ppl r so mad that ur young and having fun with love 😭 life isn’t fun just working all day. It’s not like ur in hs! We can have fun and be on our ish too!
Not "It's not even French no more...it's giving German!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I swear nobody tells a story as funny and passionate as you do!!! I love this channel! As for the "New Hope" nail salon....SMH they were definitely bogus af for doing you so dirty. Especially charging you to come do some promo for them. That was just messy af!! Then having the audacity to throw your sick sister in the mix trying to deviate from the fact that they screwed you over was just disrespectful to the max!!!
The audacity they had to throw their kindness towards your sister in your face. Like they act as if you owe them something after that? Money hungryyyyyyyy.
These Philly mail techs be DRAWN! Like sis that set should’ve been tf free! I would’ve gotten up, thanked them for the experience and walked right tf out like huh? That’s Philly for you 🙃
Im from PA so Ik who u talking bout 😂😂😂😭😭😭 aint they jawn like Nu Bella Nails and i def seen the interview on Whyy😭 They was op for charging you for the interview and not giving u ur money back for messed up nails or say u can get it free🤦🏾♀️ they threw shit in ur face even tho u was kind to them 🤦🏾♀️
Now you know you have to set your boundaries with everything and everybody and take it seriously with all your mind and all your heart!! Make sure you know the stipulations and ask all the questions you need to always win 🏆 😉 I hope this helps 🖤
First and foremost you have grown so much! You have grown!!! That's right Gabby speak up for yourself. They're trifling bruhh! That's bad business. You broke that down seamlessly about offering a service! Regardless if it's horrible, it's a refund or redo the service for free period because it's already been paid for ! Yeah na I'm done after your sister! That was unnecessary! She named a price and then would like to bring it up knowing the situation w e i r d o. Gabby did tag you all in her photos without cost! Never again Gabs! A for sure learning experience!! Your folks went to them.. she's weird bruh. YES BRUHHHH WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO! GET EM GABBY! DON"T PLAY WITH HER! It was the read for me! She really tried it. They wild... naaaa Your new nails fire!! I know you know uhhhhh that free promo!! NAAAA ! build your own shiiii from the ground up like I did PERIOD!
It is super bizarre they would charge you for doing their interview. They should have given you that set free for doing the interview. You were essentially hired as a hand model.
literally
Right!!!! I wouldn’t have paid shit! Smh
Honestly the are taking advantage.
I don't know exactly how the interview was presented or the different markets where it aired, but from a legal standpoint it looks like it may be considered a testimonial, which is a type of advertising. If so, then they'd probably need to disclose if the model had received compensation of any sort, whether in cash or in kind (ie, products or services). I'm sure you've seen these types of disclosures before. They're often in typed at bottom of the screen, saying "* paid spokesmodel" or "model received compensation for appearance." The exact legal requirements vary based on the jurisdiction.
The fact that we didn't see a disclaimer indicates the nail shop probably did not want to use a paid model. I assume they were seeking someone who'd be willing to be "paid in exposure" and just want the chance to be in the video. Both paid & unpaid advertising gigs like that are OK, but the problem here is that the company should've confirmed the details with the model ahead of time. Most models expect the company will pay for their time and just disclose whatever is necessary for legal requirements. I think the company should have told her if it was not a paid gig. Otoh if we are being fair, most models who care about compensation would've confirmed in advance before going
She is young so I understand. She should have asked if she would receive a discount etc prior to the interview and since they were texting, it would have been in writing. They played her honestly probably due to age.

I’m driving so imma come back so I won’t wreck bc I gotta pay attention to every detail of the video!! But yess Gabby I used my last lil coinage to order the pint sweat suit you have on and I lovee it. I recorded myself trying it on lol glad you back! 💗
Finally back with a Storytime 😍😍🎊🎊🎉
I use to go to that nail salon, and stopped going cuz I showed him a inspo pic and he said he didn’t feel ok copying the entire design, so he added all this stuff that I never asked for and charged me 125$ I didn’t argue, jus paid. I feel like they made up prices as they go. The nails were beautiful but they really jus make up prices.
And for a salon in a terrible neighborhood they charge a lot. Like it’s literally under the el 😭
YALL! that’s me she’s talking about switching out the sweatsuit lmao i have the email and everything 😭 and yes the service was amazing ! Love you gabby❤️
that is dead wrong they called you out of the blue to get your nails done for them.you didn’t ask to get your nails done so for them to charge you when you took time out of your day and you had other obligations to yourself. That is so disrespectful I would’ve walked out. your patience is amazing
Girl, I don’t blame you one bit for not tagging anyone anymore! People take things for granted and get greedy af anymore! Honestly all you can do is be yourself and don’t feel bad for expecting people to act right. Don’t let anyone take advantage of your niceness. I work retail and people shock me every day with the entitlement and straight up disrespect.. Lol you just gotta keep your head up and don’t let it change you. You’re so sweet and beautiful lol stay kind & safe!!🫶🏻💕
One reason why I love gabbys story times is her nail clicking and her accent it’s giving
It’s crazy that I have seen the work went to the salon. I recently moved to philly and I did not like the service. The owners were very nice but what they have offer for the clients. Everything was overpriced, no price list clear for clients to see. When girls go to the nail salon we go for the experience and service. I don’t think they care about reoccurring clientele just interested in making a quick buck.
I’m definitely one of those people that would buy something or go to who my favorite influencer did, so unless they’re compensating you or just genuinely nice definitely don’t tag them. You’re so kind tho❤️
Her hair looks amazing OMG 😍, not just her hair her in general
FINALLY A NEW VIDEOOOOO. WE HAVE BEEN STARVING FOR A MONTH. WE ARE FINALLY BEING FEDDDD
ITS GIVING German got me dead
You are tooo kind hearted for this cold hearted business world!!
I love Gab's energy!! That interview thing was wild! should have
been free. However, you are sooo blessed because you have a giving kind of heart!
After C19, the prices doubled, but the work did NOT improve... Glad I got licensed so I can do my own!
I thought the Brooklyn 2018 incident would put a dent in their chokehold on folks...guess not!!!
31:35 Wow, they are SUPER ungrateful & you got used!!! 34:30 The AUDACITY!!!
Your "loyalty" to them reset every single time you left their shop!!!
They need a more regulated/itemized price list so you can see and tally up your add-ons, but that's how they can finesse folks so easily!!
Should have been a complimentary set. 100%
Gabby I love your energy you are so entertaining one of my favorite UA-cam channels ever♥️♥️
Never say never babe … but don’t become evil bcuz of toxic people luv I love your energy and spirit keep it up !
Oh wow Gabby, I feel so sorry, they definitely took advantage of your kindness, because they got free promo from you by doing that interview and tagging them on Instagram and on top of that you were their loyal customer, who spent thousands of dollars in their salon already. Plus you took the time of your day and went to their place for free to do an interview modeling and promoting their business, it's so sweet. Those nails should have been for free and if it was up to me on top of that I would have payed you for your kindness and for all the good things you were saying during the interview about my business. It's so sad especially considering that you were their loyal customer who spent so much money there already yet on top that they asked you to pay 170$ for some freaking nails, like is there gold in those nails or what? Are these nails doing your college work for you or what? Why are all these salons so money hungry nowadays?
They were careless and maybe on drugs? 🤔 No way I would have cussed them out. They obviously don't want your money, but they need your money, and they stopped their own bag. Idiots.

I hope you’re doing okay babe , I thought about you and see you haven’t been uploading . You are strong ! Don’t let this rough spot break you Queen ! You got this !!!
Just wanted to say cause I’m at 13:01 right now but it has been sooooo hard to trust nail salons, I feel so jaded with their kind and invasive personality but soon as the talk of price comes up (always at the end) I grit my teeth before they say some outstanding amount and then get offended I don’t have enough tip money when the price raised.
My mom made the mistake of handing me money in the techs face and for some short simple lumpy black acrylic (no gel) it automatically came up to $80 dollars. I honestly gave them the money ($100) and said I’m doing my own nails from now on. Never went back since. That was the most desperate experience and my final straw.
Rooting for the girls who are starting their nail businesses to break the stigma and to provide service the girls neeeeed! KEEP UP THE HARD WORK!
The hair giving '50s poodle skirt...and I LOVE IT ❤
It’s the “have a great Easter” for me like girlllll u think u funny😂?
So,when we see these people acting a fool for “NOT PAYING” lets know that they have a reason. Hopefully we will stop patronizing these businesses.
Gabs. You sit back. Relax and it will be taken care of. Love from Toronto.
In that interview you look so beautiful as always. Missed you last month n glad you’re “backiddy ackiddy” lol I feel like I’ve heard you said this before 😂❤️
I remember the crazy lady and the car story. Real OG LBC supporter!!
I love the hair!!!💛💛💛 it’s giving black Barbie
Ppl r so mad that ur young and having fun with love 😭 life isn’t fun just working all day. It’s not like ur in hs! We can have fun and be on our ish too!
you should consider extending your sweatsuit sizes for us big girl!! we want to support you to sis!
Lol I’m in Philly and when you said Kensington, I was like Oop 😂
Not "It's not even French no more...it's giving German!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I swear nobody tells a story as funny and passionate as you do!!! I love this channel! As for the "New Hope" nail salon....SMH they were definitely bogus af for doing you so dirty. Especially charging you to come do some promo for them. That was just messy af!! Then having the audacity to throw your sick sister in the mix trying to deviate from the fact that they screwed you over was just disrespectful to the max!!!
That green sweatshirt Gabby is rocking is 🔥
Queen you came , you paid & your genuine Af! F*** them. They know who tf you is!!! #localblackchild💕
This sweatsuit + the body + the looks 😍😍😍😍🥰💞
The audacity they had to throw their kindness towards your sister in your face. Like they act as if you owe them something after that? Money hungryyyyyyyy.
These Philly mail techs be DRAWN! Like sis that set should’ve been tf free! I would’ve gotten up, thanked them for the experience and walked right tf out like huh? That’s Philly for you 🙃
I’m mad you named it like it was a church “New Hope” Lmaoooo
“It’s not even a French tip the French done came off it’s giving germen”🤣😂
"The French came off its giving German "😂😂 please
Im from PA so Ik who u talking bout 😂😂😂😭😭😭 aint they jawn like Nu Bella Nails and i def seen the interview on Whyy😭 They was op for charging you for the interview and not giving u ur money back for messed up nails or say u can get it free🤦🏾♀️ they threw shit in ur face even tho u was kind to them 🤦🏾♀️
heavy on the price changing every set🤣🤣🤣😩👌🏽
That’s soooooo sweet of u to get your sister’s hair and nails done.
"The French tip came off...it's giving German!" The intro already has me dead lmfao 😭💀
gabby you’re too nice 😭😭 we would’ve had to FIGHT after that interview
I literally don’t go to Asian shops anymore because of the disrespect. Idk what Cheeto and fries look like but yeah…..😂
"Its not even a French tip no more, the French done came off. its giving German!" lmaooo pls YOU ARE HELL
I love the cameo of an old story time about the naked lady smashing the car😂 it’s funny hearing the convo that went on while it happened
$170 for a refill?! I would have thrown up😭🤣
Now you know you have to set your boundaries with everything and everybody and take it seriously with all your mind and all your heart!!
Make sure you know the stipulations and ask all the questions you need to always win 🏆 😉
I hope this helps 🖤
I’m so sorry gab😔 I think you should start doing your own nails that way you will NEVER have to experience this again. I love you gabbi💕
You shouldn’t have paid shit for that! They called YOU!
“It’s giving German”🤣🤣🤣
Giiirl a discount? Them nails should've been free!
If “PROMO” doesn’t pay the bills, then WHY did they want you to choose something extra for the nails 💅🏾 in the interview.
"She's buff.. She's really really buff" Lol!!
First and foremost you have grown so much! You have grown!!! That's right Gabby speak up for yourself. They're trifling bruhh! That's bad business. You broke that down seamlessly about offering a service! Regardless if it's horrible, it's a refund or redo the service for free period because it's already been paid for ! Yeah na I'm done after your sister! That was unnecessary! She named a price and then would like to bring it up knowing the situation w e i r d o. Gabby did tag you all in her photos without cost! Never again Gabs! A for sure learning experience!! Your folks went to them.. she's weird bruh. YES BRUHHHH WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO! GET EM GABBY! DON"T PLAY WITH HER!
It was the read for me! She really tried it.
They wild... naaaa
Your new nails fire!!
I know you know uhhhhh that free promo!! NAAAA ! build your own shiiii from the ground up like I did PERIOD!
ur my comfort person
It's the "it's giving German!" For me 😭😭😭
