Wanna receive a vintage postcard for Xmas?
Or whatever the occasion actually.
I have plenty of old postcards and I’d be happy to send a couple of them to my loveliest followers. (yeah, right, who am I to define who is lovely? :-))
Just so you know…
A message and an address should do the trick!

Mon Amour! Mon Amour!
De toutes les façons je vous baise les lèvres, les sentir, les humer, les boire partout, les caresser de ma langue mouvante, tes lèvres gourmandes que j’aime! mon Amour! Ainsi, je veux les retrouver mon Amour, les sentir sur mon #*, # me changer, # me prendre, pour que je vienne à toi, Mon Amour, avec cette force pénétrante, jusqu’au tréfonds de ta chair que j’adore, et t’aimer t’aimer à en perdre le souffle, recommencer et toujours recommencer de ttes les façons! C’est tellement bon l’Amour avec toi, ma chatte adorée, mon # sur ton # je veux rester toujours
Je t’adore
