  1. I am so so so happy for her. She got her an educated boo. I've been hearing a lot of hate on her acceptance of Punks Ring...but Punk is not trying to gold dig, like some think. Ya Boy Punk is an Ivey League educated lawyer. Homeboy was already a self made man before he even got on the I <3 NY show. That was just for kicks and giggles for him. He does not need a chick for his meal ticket. I am so happy that they have found each other. They make a cute couple and it's sweet that they have the same home town. I hope they can make it work through all the hate and public attention all up in their Kool Aid(lol).
