First of all, Malene will break your face flat out.. She has SUPERPOWERS. I've witnessed it. If you ever get a chance to catch her show you will see, ''she fly without a cape''. I'm glad to see her getting .....exposed..ah hem. She has ALL the goods, and raps and sings and skanks and screams and KILLS it in her profession. Casting directors, give this vixen/villain a shot cuz she delivers. aaaaaand Action! cut-
