I would love to meet her in real life and give her a big hug. And tell her she is drop dead beautiful. Wow. <3 heh funny someone mentioned pintos I have this one memory from when I was really little, where I saw a girl with skin like this, I can’t remember if it was in person or on TV, being the horse obsessed little girl I was I thought it was the most awesome thing ever and i wanted skin like that nothin profound to say just remembering  nothing profound to add to this either and I wouldn’t dream of belittling her statement but… wow her eyes are like…. hypnotizingly pretty can’t stop looking

SHE’S SO BEAUTIFUL!

Just the other day I was thinking about pinto horses and how gorgeous a “pinto” person might be, and LOOK AT THIS.  An interesting commentary on race as well.

Aaahhhh she’s so gorgeous. <3 <3 <3

‘Your skin is White, therefore you’re White. Or are you?’

That hits close to home, I must say. :/ She is extraordinarily beautiful.

I would love to meet her in real life and give her a big hug. And tell her she is drop dead beautiful. Wow. <3

nothin profound to say just remembering 

nothing profound to add to this either and I wouldn’t dream of belittling her statement but… wow her eyes are like…. hypnotizingly pretty
