I would like take the time to thank each and every member of the CSUN AIDS Walk Coalition. Last Sunday, you woke up early, put on your walking shoes and took steps toward eliminating ignorance and raising funds for AIDS awareness and research.

She appears from the curtains wearing only black hot shorts, a tight black bodice, and golden flats. Her fiery red hair flows down her chest, taking up a third of her petite, 5-foot-1-inch frame.
