Has it occured to anyone else that this seems like just another attempt by the LisaNova machine to get more exposure by using the big profile bloggers in this group? I am not a conspiracy person at all but why are we talking about this YouTuber? Like most people who have seen her, i went to her page just to see what all the hype was about and there is NOTHING there! I just find it odd that all of a sudden there is a bunch of posts about her here? There are people on the net doing real work and I can tell that LisaNova is another pre-made wet dream for freaky old men and addolecent boys and nothing more. I'll take Ask A Ninja anytine over this boring tripe!
