Sorry if my cold is causing me to ramble incoherently, but, it is what it is.That's probably a very uncomfortable feeling.
Quote:It does creep me out, and maybe that has more to do with sexual attraction than anything. I've always been 99% physically attracted to white females. Particularly WASPy types. But, by the same token, I don't cheer on white people who make it big in society.IKR, girls pretty..maybe her waspish facial features combined with swarthier skin is just a killer combo? I had a thing for argentinians as a kid..... who doesn't like a deep tan?
Quote:I just find it different than some reggaebro (is that a word? It is now! I've seen them!) in is dreadlocks driving a Land Rover with a Sacred Heart University Rowing sticker on the back. I think I'd be creeped if said reggaebro did the skin pigmentation thing, too. That aspect of it just goes a step beyond a tan. And it just weirds me out.
But if he were in a cover band of UB40 or TV on the Radio, hey, cool. I like TVOTR.
It's a word now, congratulations, it's a baby boy! That would be beyond creepy.
