Re: Recent post on Our Lady of Hollywood being black . . . was kidding.
Mary wasn't black, just wanted Tim Drake and others to realize that Mary's features, in this case, lips, do not have to conform to European models. But this point has been made by David Alexander quite well.

Mary in the European style as she is traditionally depicted is no doubt beautiful. We all just have to remember that she was a middle eastern woman who at one time lived in Africa. But that is neither here nor there.
