Men prefer women who look similar to them apparently.Women prefer men who look vaguely human and are funny.

I heart Anatomy

I studied anatomy at University (didn't we all?! *fnarr fnarr*) In fact, I did a lot of anatomy (didn't we all?! *fnarr fnarr*). It was my favourite subject (megalolz) and left me with a love of drawings and make up depicting human anatomy accurately. And then I found this!

Street Anatomy "Street Anatomy obsessively covers the use of human anatomy in medicine, art, and design". So cool! I love it!
