The fair girls I knew at school were always using fake tanner; when I lived in Mexico they sold whitening creams everywhere. Both races were fetishizing what is unusual for them and what they don't have naturally. But I also think there's a lot of subconscious (and conscious) racism at play here.Emily, Ruby Slipper Journeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071938485961109157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069457624670089531.post-81106493492471454582011-06-07T05:12:31.517-07:002011-06-07T05:12:31.517-07:00First time here and I liked it.Looks good too!First time here and I liked it.Looks good too!jaymichael1990https://www.blogger.com/profile/09509204700399023522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069457624670089531.post-85204375112721863082011-06-06T21:45:32.596-07:002011-06-06T21:45:32.596-07:00Wonderful and interesting post.

This is what the matter is, if you are beautiful you attract more men. I really think a lot of women with a good soul are overlooked and this is the loss to a good mate.

I agree with the wrinkle free and age defying stuff is good business tactics for targeting the aging population. But this is too much! It's like propagating that fair is better. I think what makes a women attractive are her eyes and her smile. And same goes for men too. Other things are truly personal choices. :)Jyothihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18276788854001822248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069457624670089531.post-9665598226467519802011-06-02T07:50:18.121-07:002011-06-02T07:50:18.121-07:00hello
