I have to say... I've never MURDERED anyone, but I'm pretty and I can sweet talk my way out of ANYTHING. Part of me feels dishonest to do it, but part of me doesn't care because it's fun getting away with 'murder.'

Not just guys. I've seen plenty of pretty girls forgiven for some really nasty things and given the benefit of the doubt just because they were fun to look at.

It's true I've seen really hot people get away with murder, lol, and if it's one of my friends don't think I let them get away with it hahaa. What really kills me is when it happens in a professional environment. I see executives treat one person who happens to be your average Joe or plain Jane one way and a model type another way it really bothers me. I have to say that in my experience most of them did suffer the same consequences but clearly the way they were talked to was very different.

People definitely shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer were supposedly "hot". I have a rule - trust no one. There's a bunch of savages and douche burgers in sheep's clothing.

Haha, Tres. And you post a picture of a guy so hot I would literally let him get away with murder. ^_^
