That is a great point. I have only seen two types of bp's in person -- normals and a spider -- the two that I have! I always thought spiders were kind of ugly, but decided to buy one about a month ago -- picked it up for 100 bucks. I figured for that price I could grow to love them. And do you know what? I think they look way better in person.
I always thought piedbalds were kind of odd, but I think some of them look pretty cool -- I think it all depends on the pattern.
