"We should love black women’s skin, in whatever shade it comes, from vanilla vitality to chocolate charm, from mocha mist to espresso elegance, from beige bliss to almond effect, from tan tint to blue blaze, and from cream comfort to black beatitude. We should love black women’s noses — broad or pointed, snub or extended, fine-lined or bluntly drawn. We should love their eyes — black, brown, hazel, green, or blue — and their lips, whether pouting, pursing, protruding, huge, small, voluptuous, streamlined, or luscious. We should love their feet — long toes or short, painted nails or nude, and whether they are broad, flat, and thick, or thin, fleshy, and narrow. We should love their breasts — whether tiny or enormous, whether sagging or taut, and whether they fit into A or D cups. We should love their hands — manicured or untouched, long fingers or short pointers, and acrylic nails or natural. We should love their faces — made-up and plain ones, oval-shaped and banana-like, ellipses and concaves, high foreheards and low brows, and fleshy ones and tight ones. We should love their legs — long, lean legs and thick, short legs, shapely legs and skinny legs, and legs that are clean-shaven and legs with hair. We should love their hair — natural, dreaded, locked, kinky, nappy, permed, curly, straight, silky, jagged, or wiry."

Great site! I have yet to find someone who’s OCD complemented (yes, I’m kindof a grammar/copyediting freak, though the idea of one’s OCD complimenting someone else’s is intriguing - I wonder if my hoarding would garner praise from someone else’s….handwashing?) mine, but I like the sentiment. Some of the posts at Dear Old Love are a little too poignant for me; I think I am ready to leave the poignancy behind in 2009.

My OCD complimented your OCD precisely.
