I think African-American women are the prettiest.
Is that Paris, Kentucky?

Well..."African American" or "black"? - I mean I really don't perceive that much difference between, say, a Jamaican woman and an African American. But perhaps you meant the personality?
I think African-American women are the prettiest..
Well, east coast girls are hip I really dig those styles they wear And the southern girls, with the way they talk They knock me out when I'm down there
The midwest farmer's daughters Really make you feel all right And the northern girls, with the way they kiss They keep their boyfriends warm at night
I wish they all could be California girls Wish they all could be California I wish they all could be California girls
The west coast has the sunshine And the girls all get so tan I dig a French bikini on Hawaiian island girls By a palm tree in the sand
I been all around this great big world And I seen all kind of girls Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states Back to the cutest girls in the world.
All I wear is lipstick, blemish stick and face power with a tiny bit of mascara, and that's only for special occasions. Usually it's au naturelle for every day.
I have a sister-in-law who has never worn makeup, not even on her wedding day.
Two words: Pamela Anderson.
I still catch myself checking her for an adam's apple...
Heh heh....
I'm an American woman living in France and it is true the women here, in general, have a certain style and natural beauty. I rarely see a young woman with much make-up, although older ladies tend to wear it more. The skin care business is booming - my favorite products are from Yves Rocher (also available in the US).
I don't know why everyone thinks that French women do not shave or wear deodorant. I am sensitive to odor issues and have only twice been overcome by someone's fumes in almost a year and a half of living here. Both times were due to immigrants, not native French. Skirts and short pants are popular here, so it would be easy to tell if someone wasn't shaving. I've never seen a girl with unshaven legs here, although I'm sure they do exist. It's just not on a grand scale, as everyone seems to think.
I finally found something the French say I can agree with..
Seriously, all those on this thread who will agree with this POV ( including moi) are American males who are tired of waiting incessantly for women to finish "putting on their faces" ( now there's a expression for you) and the endless trips to the powder room to "freshen up"
Want to see a female have a panic attack?. Watch when they're going out for a big night on the town, all dolled up, and they're carrying one of those very small, very expensive purses...which holds nothing..and they try to figure out what to put in it...I've had to carry my wife's and years back, daughters COMPACTS in my jacket pocket more times than I care to admit..
Snort. They may be beautiful, but I can't say much for their brains.
This, from the country that gave use mimes?
The prettiest girls in the world are in Texas, followed by North Carolina. France, way far down the list from there, ranks only slightly ahead of West Virginia.
My legal, naturalized American citizen "Colombian Import" for example...
Two kids and she looks like...ah-HEM!...
At any rate, the French impress me not at all. Been there, and dealt with their idea of femine beauty. Their women are brilliant and beautiful, however having experienced it, I can state that cat-wretch smells better. For those who learn the function of a bar of soap, I have great hope, so they are not a complete write-off. That being said, the French should not be regarded in any matter of beauty until they have mastered the dark secrets of personal hygeine as a whole.
The thing that bothers most of the French, is that most Americans really don't care what they think.
If this author is judging by the newsreaders on Fox and other "news" channels she has a point about the painted look. French women take great pride in having beautiful skin.
Ask me if I care what French women think!
