I do not know if its the beer or the lack of good dental care or the gloomy weather or the in-breeding (I come from a long line of verging-on-horsey-face relatives, and there's only a tiny bit of aristocracy (illegitimate) anywhere in my ancestry). But given the pool, maybe she is considered good-looking over there.

I am struggling to name a good-looking English woman. Keira Knightley maybe? Kate Winslet? Victoria Beckham? no one there who comes anywhere close to the hotness produced by North America or many other countries.

WHAAAAA??? Corsican French v. Sardinian Italian? Or in general?

I lived in France for three months...and then went to Italy for 2 weeks. It wasn't even close (in favor of Italy).
