I wish some American women would stop putting themselves down. This is a big country and every region has a different style. I have traveled to the northeast, west coast, and the south and the women in each area have a style of their own that is unique and beautiful. Love you for you because all women that are healthy are beautiful no matter where they are from.

americans win.

Stereotypically, "french"style is elegant and sophistocated. They own their sexiness in a natural, mysterious, effortless way. Its subtle, not the focus. "American" is fun, frivilous, and unabashed. Its gaudy, competitive. They sell their sexiness or use it as a main attraction for attention to their person. Not much of a focus on her person as on the package.

So with the French: Ooo la la, that lady is beautiful.

and then American: I'm taking that home tonight. (didn't see the face at all)

I just happened to come across your youtube page and thought I would drop a line.

I love the look of having a complete nude face, with tiny bit of mascara and red lipstick.
