Yup. It would seem so.

She has had her nose 'tweaked' a little...but her lips are the original equipment.

Her mother died very recently from cancer. There was a fairly recent photo of Angelina and her mom...even though her mom had been very ill, you could see the beauty and strong resembelance between the two.

Thanks. Hope this works:

I think this might be appropriate for this thread:

I really do respect the Gates’ for their unaltered appearance. Really...I do. They have all of the money in the world and they could have ‘anything’ done...but they haven’t. So I kind of admire Bill’s $10.00 haircut look...it says ‘I know my hairstyle isn’t important.’

Thanks!

I really do respect the Gates’ for their unaltered appearance.

I also have to respect Bill's choice for a life mate. He could have his pick of some of the world's most gorgeous women. Instead, he used a different criteria.

I hope I live long enough to see how their progeny turn out as human beings.

"Well.. uh er.. you see it's like this... Imagine your carrot was 15 inches long."

That's a pretty long carrot, but if you look around in the produce section you can find longer. Most of the time I buy baby carrots. They go better in roasts and are more tasty.

I like roasted carrots along with pot roast. Tasty.

An interesting observation I have made over the years here in Washington is when I am at the malls and observe the people walking around those at the mall in the affluent city of Bellevue I notice the people tend to be good looking, they dress nice, and the number of extremely overweight people is few and far between. But in Tacoma 20 miles to our south an industrial town with a much lower average income, the people walking around the mall are just plain uglier, they dress trashy and there are allot of extremely overweight people. Kids walking around looking like gangsta-wanta-be’s are also prevalent.

Hurts me to say that too, because I was born in Tacoma. I think there may be something to this peacock theory. Thankfully I married a bellevue girl.

Re post 121, what you wrote makes eminent sense from the viewpoint of women seeking out successful mates who would provide them with economic security. I was just looking at this particular union from the initial post of this thread in which biologists wonder why matings do not produce good-looking progeny and they think that females would seek out attractive males. Well, at least that was my understanding of the initial post.

Not even a case of beer will get anything to lay...uh...

Rosie never did men..........sheesh.

*Or vice versa...

None that would ever admit to it.....or who likely lived (intact or not insane)to tell the tale.
