I didn’t even know there were many Italians with “tanned” skin. I thought the ones who looked like that were a mixture with something else, but reading your comments, I found out that’s not true. I was raised in a Brazilian city “dominated” by Italians (no bad meanings to the word… xP ) and they were all either Alexis Bledel pale or that Asian guy from ‘Three Rivers’ pale. So I thought most of them were pale and there were lots and lots of them with really light eyes.
Actually, because I’m horrible at telling if someone was born tanned or was sun tanned, the first times I saw her I was so sure she was born with that skin shade she has on “Poker Face” that I was a li’l confused when someone asked on YouTube what her heritage was and someone answered “she’s Italian”. I thought to myself: “okay, but what else? She’s not pale enough to be just Italian, I wanna know what her non-white part is!!!”
Lol @ me… ó_ò
