Interiors: Black Clawfoot Tubs

Is it just me or does anyone else find a black claw foot tub to be incredibly...sexy?  They're definitely dramatic and can be as expensive, or affordable as you like (think paint). 

I think my favorite is the last tub, because although I like the dramatic feel of a glossy black tub, I think  in reality, I'm more a vintage- shabby- still sexy yet kind of run down- tub person. Our own claw foot is painted a light grey to accent our seafoam walls. What about you?  Do you like the intensity of a black claw foot tub?
