I've seldom been swayed by physical assets, and the
few times I have, I've regretted. I make an exception 
for eyes, which ironically until recently I have 
basically not been able to see clearly anyway.

It does. You could make black or pink curacao 
and it would most likely be identical in taste.
But blue is so beautiful, and pink is seldom.
