My eyes aren't blue. Any eyes that are not Chinese are considered blue, I think. It's good to know this isn't an isolated attitude. People are strange when it comes to prizing physical characteristics. yb: I get “You have blue eyes!” a lot. My eyes aren’t blue. Any eyes that are not Chinese are considered blue, I think.

I noticed in Vietnam that many of the women wore gloves and long-sleeves while riding their motos -- same idea, keep that sun from tanning, as the browner the skin, the less attractive the person. We had long talks about how parents revere light skin. Similar thing happens in certain ethnicities and races in the U.S. I told the story of how my daughter, who has blue eyes, is always being praised for her eyes. The older Hispanic women often just love light eyes. Gorgeous photo, stevo.

I sense big bucks. I think Corina and Stevo have the right idea– parasols for every outfit, paired with having my son make them cool. I sense big bucks.

I like the ones made for children with the little ears on the top. Corina: Thanks

In Spanish, there are two words. The first, is sombrilla froom shade, which would be the same as our parasol (note the word "sol" or sun in there, as in to stop it or keep it off of oneself). The second is paragua, or literally stop water, which would be our rain umbrellas. I bet if someone invested in a cute line of parasols (sombrillaa) and marketed them as that and not as an umbrella, they'd catch on. Just think, you could have one for every outfit! STEVO...I love the picture. I like the light and the coloring. Nice job!
