'Serenity'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Is there a non-racial reading for that sentence? It leapt out for me because I've never seen it used otherwise.
I was taking it literally, and just assumed it was a well-known saying (in wine circles, maybe?) I'd never heard before. But now that you say that... now it's reading all "licorice lips like candy" kinda thing.
(Oh good. Now I have "Black Boys/White Boys" running through my head. "Beautiful as girls....")

In watching Matt, I have no idea how people handle the world going crazy. I know what happens with me -- world go crazy, I go crazy and then things settle. They aren't good, but suddenly things aren't as bad. I wish I knew how it happens.
I didn't see Toddson's link so I have no idea how it was used in context, but I usually read it in the same way ita does, FWIW.
Steph, take care of yourself. We all have moments when it all becomes too much.

I've never thought the "darker the berry" thing was anything but a comment re: race. And I'm pretty pasty. I think I heard it for the first time in Fame.
