Please.??If that?s what happens, I think I?m going to have to feminize myGerry?.I?d heard enough. I tuned it out and looked at Sherri, mouthing, ?Ilo...e you,? silently. ?I love you back,? she mouthed.As we stubbed our cigarettes out, Renee?s MC voice filled the room.?Okay ladies, it?s time for the grand finale.
