PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA — This young husband and wife team have become a minor internet sensation after a recent selfie that wifey posted to Facebook became a viral hit in Southeast Asia. <br /> <br />The reason? People are puzzling over what many view as a hotness mismatch. Fair or not, the post has generated huge attention and been covered in media across the region. <br /> <br />The selfie subjects go by the names Luvy LuvElla and her fella, Pen Visa. Ok, weird names, but for many in this part of the world, this isn’t a weird conversation to have. You see, women with fair skin are highly prized in many parts of Asia, and a darker complexion has long been associated with farmers and the poor working class. <br /> <br />Lucy is a cosmetics entrepreneur and had a pretty serious 77,000 followers on Facebook. Her cute looks and milky white skin mean that for many people, she ought to be out of poor old Mr. Visa’s league. <br /> <br />And what to the internet trolls have to say? Glad you asked! A number of commenters have questioned how it’s possible for Lucy to marry a guy with such dark skin, let alone have his baby. These people probably have leprosy. <br /> <br />So, ugly ducklings: keep that chin up and stay in the game. You too can find true love.
