One involved a statistic called the total fertility rate. In essence, it tells how many children a woman can be expected to have if current birth rates continue. That figure was 1.9 children last year. In most years, it’s more like 2.1.
More striking was the change in the fertility rate for Hispanic women. The rate plummeted to 2.4 from nearly 3 children just a few years ago.
“Whoa!” said Haub, in reaction to the statistic.
The economy is no doubt affecting Hispanic mothers, too, but some young women who immigrated to the United States for jobs or other opportunities may have left, Haub said.
I am not surprised. There is such an abundance of kusiot in this city that you become insensitive. Maybe as I get senile it will happen to me too. In the meanwhile I salivate even at the sight of a phillipinit. Adi is a nice yiddische meidele but is too old for you. You may confirm that the hair color and her body was heavily photoshopped in the pic.
It was the thinness combined with everything else. She was tall, rail-thin, with dyed red hair, very pale skin, red lipstick, small eyes. There was something garish and clown-like about it. I also found her pseudo-geeky personality incongruent. I realize now she was a kind of proto-hipster. There was absolutely nothing feminine and demure about her.
To her credit, except for a few publicized visits to Israeli sci-fi conventions early in her career, she never really tried to capitalize on being a "nerd girl".
Her red hair is not only dye-enhanced but completely fake? Pity. I've met Jewish people who actually do have red hair (including a few relatives), but most weren't very attractive.
This is what I was thinking - it is almost impossible for a real redhead to live in the Israeli climate and not end up freckled/sun poisoned. I'm not a flaming redhead but I have reddish tendencies and after a few trips to the beach in my childhood I ended up with permanent blotches in my skin. No one over the age of 2 is as unmarked as she appears to be - not even a mole.
I consulted with my Hebrew slang consulting linguist and it appears that "shafot" is acceptable. "Kusiot" is also in common use as well as the less well known "kusim" (chatichim) - not to be confused with "kushim" which is taboo.

She's from our city, J. I knew her in high school. She didn't impress me. But, I was a weird kid.
Irish Jew?

Most genuine redheads have freckles and naevi, which she appears to lack.
Still, if she can earn a living this way, good luck to her.

Shafot?
Ptsatsot?
Kuzinot?
