3 December 2020 John Hickenlooper Is there some risk every day we walk out our front door? Every time we get in our car? Yeah. Are we materially less safe now than we were 10 years ago? Whatever delta there is, it’s very small.
3 December 2020 Kim Kardashian My decision to end my marriage was such a risk to lose ratings and lose my fan base. I had to take that risk for my inner peace and to be happy with myself.
3 December 2020 Valentino Garavani I have my favourite fashion decade, yes, yes, yes: ’60s. It was a sort of little revolution the clothes were amazing but not too exaggerated.
