Yes Charli

Very curious about Charli's film. It's odd because as a fan, I'd much rather have seen a documentary about her life pre-covid, either during a tour, making an album etc. I assume this film will just be her recording in her home?  seems uneventful. Obviously I'm watching regardless but it's kind of funny

I never noticed that Demi has a butt-chin until now 

 

OT: their fans must be happy for this
