I think you're right, it's probably seafoam. Which is not something you want to lick. I don't think LKH has ever been in the ocean; it is not tasty.
god, I really hate the whole "~natural beauty~" shit with heroines, as it's one of my pet peeves in real-life
Mine too! I don't wear makeup and I've been told a lot of times, as a supposed compliment, "you don't need makeup" -- what, most women "need" it? Why don't men then? It is one reason a heroine in one of the things I'm working on is both incredibly beautiful AND makes, sells, and uses cosmetics to enhance what she's been lucky enough to get. Because there is no reason a gorgeous heroine should not be able to celebrate her beauty. Also, she can exist without all men falling in love with her and without putting down other women and without her beauty being the central fact of her life.
