She’s beautiful. She’s intelligent. She sometimes spells out [rude](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJWp57II6Z0&feature=youtu.be&t=2183) [words](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo-opt01pNo&feature=youtu.be&t=1908). Even so, though, I wasn’t sure if she was really my type, you know? 😉

But she won me over when she drew a [cock and balls.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zPfZ7aFQxM&feature=youtu.be&t=1920)

(Very slightly NSFW, I suppose.)

Her only flaws, as far as I can see, is she’s more into sports than I can relate to. And she’s taken.

Not to mention I’m way too old for her. Sigh.

The mental math was enough to get my attention, but that smile sure doesn’t hurt, either.

And she has a pleasantly lowbrow sense of humor at times.

At first I though you meant Rachel Ray, then I thought you meant Raven Riley. But this one’s OK, too.

I’m more of a Susie Dent fan, but hey, I wouldn’t push her out the door if she wanted to join in.

There may be hope for you (and the rest of us) yet, considering that she has admitted to [having a thing for Bill Bailey](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdhieFDZmPI&feature=youtu.be&t=851).
