If you would like to see some of the beautiful eyes in Jalisco, where 
people are complimented for having "Ojos Tapatios", go to gdlclub.com
go the section titled : Editoriales, Especiales and and move your 
pointer down to "Ojos Tapatios," click there and you will see beautiful
"Ojos Tapatios". 

Cool. I looked and saw that some of the men were shown (truthfully the women were my choice for the most beautiful). . .so do men have Ojos Tapatios tambien?

well I'm not so sure I have them but I am pretty sure I have Dientes Cazacanes/Tepecanos/Tepehuanes: http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~grobbins/huh.html

Colotlán (Northern Jalisco). Colotlán can be found in Jalisco's northerly "Three-Fingers" boundary area with Zacatecas. This heavily wooded section of the Sierra Madre Occidental remained beyond Spanish control until after the end of the Chichimeca War. It is believed that Indians of Cazcan and Tepecanos origin lived in this area. However, this zone became "a refuge for numerous groups fleeing from the Spaniards." Tepehuanes Indians - close relatives to the Tepecanos - are believed to have migrated here following their rebellion in Durango in 1617-1618.---taken from John Schmal's Jalisco Indigenous in 16th Century article

Also there is something peculiar or different about the way people from Jalisco speak Spanish. This author seemed to think it was worth writing a dissertation about the subject:

And finally i can remember people frequently referring to me as a "Cabezon." Well most times it was my Mom. So there must be something special about my head from Jalisco that is different too! She even mentioned my "Osicote" a few times while saying a few things about being a "Tarugo" and that she was tired of my "pendejadas". . .I remember one time she must have been confused thinking I was Chinese because she called me a "hijo del V-chi."

How about folks from Zacatecas or Aguascalientes. . .do you all have special or unusual Eyes, Teeth, Tongues or Heads?

Anyone ever call you an Orejon or Narizon or Flaco or Peludo or Barbado or ???
