This is so damn heartbreaking 😢💔.
I grew up watching Michelle Trachtenberg.
She was only a year older than me at 39. I'm 38.
I loved her in Buffy, Eurotrip and Harriet the Spy ❤️.
RIP Michelle Trachtenberg 🕊️🌹.
Condolences to her family, friends and fans 🙏🏼.

My shoes are all less than 20$. They work fine. Wtf wih the $400, 000 for one pair of shoes? No shoe is worth that.

[susancarpenter]

How disrespectful to wear a baseball cap or any kind of hat and dress the way he dresses in a meeting if you want a joker, you’ve got it…
