Ever since I was little I always said that I wanted to have mixed babies (half black/white). I wasn't really looking for a particular ethnic group, I just made a singles ad to kill some time. However I was lucky enough to have found Marlon and despite some rather interesting cultural differences, we were definitely made for each other!

In my case, it's the opposites attract (physically).

As I've mentioned in another post, although I find both Scarlett Johansson and Beyonce gorgeous, if I had my pick it would be Beyonce.

Other celebrities that I am most attracted to... (tend to be more voluptuous....badonka-donk and all that...grrrr)

Salma Hayek

Jennifer Lopez

Rosario Dawson :star::star::star::star::star:

Tyra Banks

Sade
