@pikatchu00 Just a reminder Maria is only a rookie kid & not a polished adult singer. The monkey around her neck is a lucky charm which she wears whenever she performs. Her family is not super rich so the goodwill dress may not be appropriate for some but it’s good enough for one time use, until then when she can afford a more fashionable clothing & stylist. Being a minor her talent fee probably goes straight to a trust fund.

@missdianajmissdianaj You're welcome. I just hate when people are mean for no reason. If you have nothing nice to say then say nothing
