IN THE SPOTLIGHT
LUCIE
The Spotlight feature this week is the lovely Lucie, and she is definitely living the lavish life. Lucie says that model has always been a word she’s connected to. Lucie is a ray of sunshine on an other- wise dreary day. This young lady wants to take the world by storm, and she has no time to waste with people who don’t share her dream or her vision. Congratulations to Lucie as this week’s Spotlight feature.
