The Bold and The Botoxed

Sigh! The serial that set the television world on fire in the early 90s- The Bold and The Beautiful is just not the same anymore.

Who wants to watch this serial? bad music, bad acting, bad kissing, bad love-making scenes, faux fashion and....hey wait right there, there needs to be this perverted desire in the makers and producers of this serials to carry on.
