In this blog, we delve into why kissing disappeared from\u00a0<\/i>the babeshows<\/i><\/span><\/a>? And What the Freeview Era Was Actually Like (from someone who was there). <\/i><\/p>\n

Hey, it\u2019s me –\u00a0Reede Fox<\/span><\/a>. There was a time – late 2000s, middle of the night, Freeview, when babeshows just felt\u2026 different. Looser. A bit chaotic. Way less controlled.
