I'm not talking hordes of make up or anything, but outfits that were really flattering or approaching scandalous (truthfully I preferred the flattering ones).
Unfortunately, by and large I am still generally not attracted, but I'm glad I had my horizons broadened, and deconstructed something I was concerned was indirect racism of sorts.
