Georgi Girl - 2026

 

There used to be a time that summer in NY meant seeing the GEORGI Vodka ads on the backs of buses. Some years back some groups had them removed and had laws passed to prevent booze ads on city property. Fast forward a bunch of years and the booze ads are GONE, but you can find THC ads all over.
