I was not looking at her pokadots, but was wondering how she could watch such a horrific display of human cruelty against an innocent animal. No show of empathy in her face. :( I could not visit Spain, China or any other country that approved of such a bloody sport. Spain seems to get a real thrill out of torturing their animals. Once watched a documentary on Spain and it's so-called Celebrations. These inhumane people literally shoved a goat out of a second story window with a rope around it's neck. People applauded and cheered!! :( Meanwhile a poor little donkey was sent out into the mob of party-goers.they leaned on the donkey till she finally collapsed from the weight.
WTH kind of country is it??? Inhumane and sick!!

how vapid and vile a woman must she have been to have sat there watching a drawn out torture/execution with such a placid expression on her face. whatever 'beauty' or 'style' she may have possessed is completely eclipsed to me by her involvement in this disgusting blood sport. this horrific "tradition" makes me feel deeply ashamed of my central american/spanish roots.

Everyone including the fashion magazines try to glamorize the bloodsport....it is a disgusting way to fluff and buff the death of majestic animals.I will never go to Spain because of it. Disgusting people. And bull fighters are nothing but a group of pus boys in drag.

I have to applaud your comment. clap clap! Could not of said it better and I would never ever visit Spain nor other countries like China..who treat their animals in such horrid ways. I once seen a TV program of Spain and one of thei many celebrations where they torturted animals..threw a poor goat out of a second floor building with a rope around it's neck..while people applauded!! then, a poor mule was sent into this worthless, boozed up crowd while everyone leaned on it. Till finally they crushed it to death! WTH??? NOT humane country at ALL!!!

When they first posted this they said she was Belgian. Now she's Austrian. When all along she looks like she was made by Mattel Toys.

Mattelian?
