fender Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Great new thread! Well done PJ Attitude and "seriousness" remember me a bit of Rachel Williams Quote
prejean Posted March 6, 2012 Author Posted March 6, 2012 Is true that they "give an air", fender... Rachel and Bénédicte share a melancholy look, though "anatomically" can not be further apart: Rachel is athletic, a very big woman (with a more aggressive sexuality), and Bénédicte has a more languid, introspective appearance... very consistent with the time when she came ("poor helpless girl" stereotype). I'm glad you like the thread. Big kiss!! Quote
