Default SOA orange chick
So what's the deal with this model on the SOA front page on the "Pay your dues" slide?

Is she African-American? If so it's probably not a bad tan.

I think they were trying to make her ethnicity less identifiable, so that all of us can relate to her, because I will only pay my dues if instructed by someone of my ethnicity.

Link, please. I printed out my dues invoice. (They are paid by an AA, and we all send our dues info to her to process.) I even went soa.org and searched for a page like you describe. I didn't see any oranges. . .

Do you need a new pair of glasses?

Here's a link: www.soa.org

OP said "SOA front page..."

1. I was looking for a pay your dues slide, as mentioned by the OP.
2. She doesn't look orange to me. Maybe your monitor needs adjustment.

She looks orange to the OP...and she looks orange-ish to me (probably not enough for me to make a thread about it though)...
