Maria is really pretty! I saw her video interview online with her mom and the family and I loved it because it just showcased how all typical Samoan families are lol She acts a little goofy at times, not saying that in a mean way, I mean to say it in the context of not really giving a damn about what people think lol She just exudes FUN!!
