Cleo-and-sterling Quote by Christine Manzari
““Nice Lincoln legs." "I bet you say that to all the girls." Sterling was kind of growing on me. I liked his sense of humor. "Actually, I do," he admitted. "Can't help it. All i can say is that someone needs to assassinate those socks. They do all sorts of horrible things to the female figure which, come to think of it, i might be the purpose of them all." "How so?" "Isn't it obvious? It's hard for me to find any female attractive when there are two miniature dead presidents peeking out from under her skirt at me.””
