It's kind of a shout-out to her fans that she did 10 days before she passed away. She looked amazing, she loved getting 'glammed up,' as she calls it, in her hair, makeup, she was just striking and beautiful. She was smiling and really she wanted to thank her fans sincerely, from the bottom of her heart, for all the support over the years."

Dear Fonseca
One of my top New Year's resolutions is to get out and date more. I have a first date on Friday night. Some of my friends say I should layer up and dress conservatively because it will leave more to the imagination for my date. My other friends say I should dress suggestively because it will turn him on. They say it also shows that I'm sexy and confident. My conservative friends disagree with dressing suggestively because they say it makes me look like I'm easy. Which strategy would you employ?
