I Might Not Have What it Takes to Be a Disney City Girl

Maybe moving to the big city to be a Disney City Girl wasn’t such a good idea. My apartment is a hovel compared to the palace Jenna has, and even that’s stretching my budget to the limit. My boss will give me extra money for washing dishes if I dress in active wear, but he…
