Baby, I only make eyes go wide when I enter a room.
Yes. In HORROR!

You know it -- horror when they realize that they can never top my beauty. Happens all the time.

Girls, girls. You're both foamy.

So really it's more of a self-loathing they feel as they are exposed by your radiance?

I Know Where I'm Going
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!
Um, ahem, sorry about that, but I keep on delaying buying the Criterion DVD of this due to brokeness, and I love it to pieces even though I've only seen it once, about 15 years ago. One of the most romantic films ever.
