Nellyonthego1on1 - From Miss Rhode Island USA to Reality Star Villain… How did those two worlds collide? Claudia Jordan – The only reason I look like the villain is because I hold people accountable, and if holding people accountable makes me a villain, then call me the villain.

Almost seven years later, I’m back looking at my old Teen Vogue magazines, realizing that many of the advertisements placed in the magazines aren’t necessarily appropriate for Teen Vogue’s target market- especially one in particular. Using the persuasive technique “sex sells”…

from Romulus to Belleville and although it’s not that far it changed my life. I slightly felt the world was ending. I remember I would always say to my mom, "Why do we have to move?" because I knew I was going to miss my friends and other things about the house tremendously. She would simply and respectably reply with "honey, the house we are living in now just isn 't worth what we are paying for it."

Do you happen to be aware how critical it is to get your gutters cleaned in the key moments along one year? This particular task did not concern me, until my ceiling started to leak.
