Hey insider– Might want to change the email addresses of the winners to myemail (at) mydomain (dot) com.
(remove the ‘@’ and ‘.’)

Think it would be fun to see based on concept alone, which ones would catch your attention? I’d prob request JAILBAIT first.

GILEAD and MANNY WALKER – seems like they both have strong lead roles for women…
