Jokes aside, there's indeed nothing unusual about this Xaliimo. Both she and the Faarax (AUN) fit comfortably into the ethnic Somali range of physical variation. Neither is anywhere close to the extreme poles of that spectrum.
Some other ordinary Somalis:

Most of the pictures you posted are just light skin somalis. The issue with the woman in my initial post is she looks nothing like a somali, not that she's light skin. She looks asian. What you posted does not prove that she's average.
Now on to the major difference between me and you. You just posted pictures of what are mostly somali women in the west (at least they're definitely outside Somalia) going to aroos or other events with pounds of makeup on their face along with using vast amounts of skin lighting cream. I dare you to find me pictures like this of men and women in the baadiye. You know the place somali people and culture began.
War somali ban nahay. There aren't alot of ajnabi on this site that you can fool. All somalis know most of our people are dark skin. This mirage of the typical somali being a cross between an carab and hindi is nothing but your imagination.
