I have very light freckling…one every few inches or so…but I do have these dormant freckles on the bridge of my nose that only come out in summer, and for some reason they have always irritated me. Even though Mr. Levins says they are adorable. (Strawberry blonde, so I’m lucky I’m not a lot more freckly than I am.)

I think freckles are cool, but only on certain people. Some really freckled women put foundation on their faces and it just looks funky for their faces to look “unfreckly” when the rest of them, starting with their neck, is so intensely spackled with 'em.

Don’t like 'em on guys, at all. Freckles belong to women. 😃

My ex has freckles. I thought they were cute (even though he’s a jerk). Of course there is a difference between a few freckles sprinkled across the nose and cheeks and a whole swarm of 'em attacking the face. The former _can_ be cute, the latter … mmm, uhhh… well I guess this really is subjective.

Too cute/sexy to think about, and (at the risk of sounding horribly sexist … aaah, what the hell …) one of the first (and best) things I notice on a woman.

I’m taking notes here on the lovely ladies posting 😉
