Get the Cherokee Princess mug.Lauren Croker
A girl with a bad-ass personality. No one messes with a Lauren Croker because she will probably rip their face off in one swift movement of her razor sharp pincers. She is hot, of course, this is not only due to her sweet as bod but also due to her flaming orange hair. Some say this golden fleece of fire is even more valuable than unicorn hair itself. Legit. There is so much you could say about this noble steed but there isn't enough time or space. So in short, does she have ninja skillz? Umm, chyess of course. Is it true she once rode a banshee bare-back across Alaska to find a Taco Bell... naked? Wouldn't you like to know ;) And finally, is prophesied that one strand of her ranga hair will save us all from 2012? No doubt. Get yo' self a Lauren Croker. She is a mint buy.
