Whoever said beauty is only skin-deep? What an idiot. She was probably a rotten-hearted malicious feminist. Beauty doesn't just lay over someone like a drape or a cape or white cloth over summer house furniture. You banal self-insecurity, no. Skin is the bulb that beauty shines through.
And I love it when it shines too bright. It's not safe for the eyes, to be around for too long. Not safe for the heart either, but one never forgets it.
