Sylvie wears very little make-up, her hair is free flowing and natural (you know, that just had sex look). Sylvie  embraces her age unapologetically. Her breasts are not the perky 30 year olds but they look great and her skin is gorgeous but definitely that of a 50 year old. And — it all ..read more
