Ok, some basic background before I start explaining:
-- I don't mean White as in a race.
-- This is NOT a racial issue.
-- For the sake of this thread (and for lack of better words), the words I am gonna use to describe the race (if I even do), are by their biological equivalents.
*Caucasoid
*Mongoloid
*Negroid*
---- none of which I will use
This is something I've never told anyone here, because, it doesn't really matter to me, but the conversion came up between us (me an the girl) last night, and she is genuinely curious as to what people's reactions are.
Ok, my girlfriend, is an albino.
For those that don't know what an albino looks like, here:

That's a pretty good representation.
Well, she has a pretty, acute form of it (which is a word that I barely know to pronounce, and I'm not gonna look up to spell correctly lol). Usually in a human albino, you'll see natural pigment come through here and there. Not with her. She has none, which means she is WHITE.
Now, this would get enough stares in and of itself. However, she tends to exaggerate her natural features. with make-up (which make up is suppose to do), She exaggerates her white skin (using white colored blushes instead of red). She dies her hair black, which is naturally a silvery-white (Well Mostly black, it has some dark purple highlights) She wears dark make-up, she was bold colored clothes (Blacks; red, purples), and she has prescription contact lenses that make her eyes look purple rather than the generic pink/rec colored eyes that albinos have.
Now, I personally think it's hot as hell. I think it makes her look like a gothed-out porcelain doll. (Which I at times I call her my doll).
My question is this:
If you saw the above person walking down the street, and she OBVIOUSLY wasn't completely covered in costume make-up... what would you think?
