Tanya Elaine Hair is now 15 years old!!!!! Wow hasn't time flown!

I started my business in 2010 and I have met so many different people from all walks of life over the years!

Business owners, Models, Actresses, Students, Footballers, Therapists, Chefs, Strippers (hee hee!), Nurses, Doctors, Lawyers, Social Workers to name just a few of walks of life, too many to mention!
