As a fair skinned blonde, I disappeared into the background. I've always been a loner, so I suppose dyeing my hair red was a way to say, 'I'm here, I exist, I'm a human being and you can't just push me aside.'
If anyone has seen the horrific and unwatchable footage of the Chinese cat and dog trade - animals skinned alive - then they could not possibly argue in favour of China as a caring nation. There are no animal protection laws in China and this results in the worst animal abuse and cruelty on the planet. It is indefensible.
I learned the truth at seventeen, That love was meant for beauty queens, And high school girls with clear skinned smiles, Who married young and then retired.
There are so many misconceptions about me, and it gets frustrating no matter how thick skinned.
Bond was how Fleming saw himself; the sardonic, cruel mouth, the hard, tight skinned face.

During National Playground Safety Week, I'll celebrate common-sense safety. I'll also celebrate skinned knees and bruised elbows. I'll celebrate so-called 'dangerous' playgrounds - playgrounds with see-saws, zip lines and towering slides.
There is this really old school stereotypical notion in Australia that to be Aboriginal you have to be black: anything but white or pale skinned.

You may get skinned knees and elbows, but it's worth it if you score a spectacular goal.
Getting your writing criticized can be a lot like getting skinned, and you respond to it just as enthusiastically.
