SHOW – MONGA
I'm not afraid of my body. If I was, would you be more comfortable? If a person is afraid of another person, they become capable of doing anything to them. Where does this fear come from? Have you ever wondered where it can lead? I'll tell you right now that I don't trust people who can hide their fears, or those who pretend everything is fine. But I even have friends who are like that. So feel invited! Come along, you'll be very welcome. We have cachaça. It's courtesy of the house.
