Not one of us, ha

I was mentioning to Valentina of the Fashion Trotter that Bianca Balti, who is a native of Lodi, Italy (near Milano), must have Southern Italian ancestors as apposed to being from Northern Italy (Her skin is darker, she has more "exotic" features). Valentina responded by leaning in and whispering in my ear, "she can't be one of us, she's too beautiful." My cheeks tingle every time I think about the tone with which she said it. So funny.
