Money can’t get you to smile, laugh, trust, hope, and most of
all love. But I, Alexis Marks, most definitely can!

sing at least 4 octave vocal range. I was once a high school basketball star. While
on stage, I can jump off a piano in my high heels and do splits. I hate the internet,
it’s the devil. I sometimes practice being a Jehovah Witness. Oh, and NO I am not
GAY!
