MILF TINTO 2013

The Milf has seen her fair share of good times and is exactly how Lolita wants to be when she grows up: Proud, wise, mature , full bodied with curves out the ying-yang and complexity till Tuesday. You won’t find any fantastic plastic nips & tucks or overdone make-up here...And if you like the Milf now, just wait a few more years! Does she have any regreats? None! (Ok, she’s somewhat embarrased about pinning up Duran Duran posters in her bedroom when she was a teen: Nobody’s perfect!)
