“I don't think every African-American or Latino have the same body type, but, yes, that's been one of the excuses ... saying that African-Americans are too muscular or just aren't lean enough.

You can exaggerate the arch only so much.” IfsLooksBodyFeetStrangeHeightLengthTerritorySoleHeelsPostureArchesBallerina Author:Christian Louboutin
“After 'Freaks and Geeks,' I dealt with several producers who wanted to cover up all my beauty marks, every single mole on my body. They tried to cover them on my first two episodes of 'Dawson's Creek,' and it just looked ridiculous, so I had to put my foot down. But it's not something I'm insecure about.” FirstsTwoBodyWantedFeetMarkRidiculousProducersFreakEpisodesInsecureGeekCover UpsCreeksMoles Author:Busy Philipps
