I was talking to the unattainable crush the other day (Stewie-like shuddery moan) and he threw me a line I realized I've heard from a few guys. Here's how it went:
UC: (pretending to take notes) And what kind of guys do you like?
Me: Tall.
How tall?
Taller than me.
And hair?
Dark.
How dark?
Darker than mine. (I wasn't describing UC on purpose, although he is indeed gloriously tall, but I insist on not feeling like I can break a guy, and I do tend to be more attracted to dark-haired men, although I don't have a formal policy on hair. Once, looking over my friend's shoulder, I said I saw a really hot guy, and she described him perfectly without turning: "Ooh! Freakishly tall, stubble, ragged profile, dark curly hair, kind of dirty looking?" I was miffed because she was absolutely correct.) Anyway, then UC said: "Darker than your natural color, or your current one?" Much hilarity all around. "No, this is my natural color!" "Yeah, but you've got highlights, right?" Dude, I've totally gotten this from guys before. Is there some forward going around that this is the key to inspiring total beauty-related frankness in women? They think they're so clever. Congrats, guys, your knowledge of hair technology has advanced to 1983. For your information, UC, I do not process these locks at all, but if I did, I'd probably get a thermal process to shine 'em up.

Elle,
I could be your perfect match. Also, you can't see it in the picture but I am wearing a pair of "sassy boots".
Aw hell yeah! If there's one thing more exciting to me than sassy boots, it's musically inclined sheep-men. Please tell me you're a local!
"Please tell me you're a local!"
whoa now! let's slow this thing down.
Sure, comment on my post, then break my heart . . . you sheep-men are all alike.
