    I have been listening to these gals since season one. I loved Cheryl from Drag race so I had to listen, when it came up in my browser. I fell in love with Nikki as I listened also. These gals can take the scary or macabre and make it seem fine. Plus, as a yank I just enjoy the accent so very much.
