How do you feel after this strange weekend ?

” funny weekend “, yes, that is the case… I have a little recovered, I made a big cure of sleep this night, I really needed it ! I feel good, but a bit nostalgic, I confess. I leave thirty girlfriends, it was an adventure completely out of the ordinary, that we come completely out of the routine. Back to reality, this is funny. But I am extremely happy to have been able to participate in this experience, it gave me a great deal.

You are not a little disappointed not to have won the crown ?

No, because I didn’t get as high. Be first runner-up, is already huge, I am very happy.
