Good luck. Yes, black is quite slimming. Especially when accented with red blood from landing face down on the road. -- Andrew 00 Daytona 00 Speed Triple 05 Squiddo

Actually, I meant to write that darker colors appear smaller than lighter colors, so I'm not sure what you mean by black being more slimming. Anyway, you didn't even bother to address Joyce's question. |
