Get the Marquis of Queensberry Rules mug.Marquisa is the epitome of beauty, grace, and class. A phenomenal Queen. Someone very strong and prideful yet so humble and gentle. A mother bear that takes up for anyone getting mistreated in her presence. One who doesn't need much but would give the ones she loves any and everything. One deserving of every good thing. Love.
Man if you got a MARQUISA, that's all you will ever need.
Treat that MARQUISA right bwa, that's a good than there!

Get the marquon mug.Marques is the sweetest, cutest, funniest guy you’ll ever meet. Marques is usually smaller in size but his heart is huge. He has a heart of gold and you should always keep him around. Marques rarely ever gets mad or angry and he’s very athletic. He has gorgeous eyes and a smile that lights up the room.
