What’s frightening, for me, is that this is the second time in two days that I’ve heard, read or otherwise been exposed to reference to Paul Potts. I can only hope this doesn’t become a trend.

But in true female nature, I feel that way about tall gorgeous, glamorous, estrogen-filled, born-that-way women too.
