The *new* Barrow Downs photo page!

[Lhunardawen]

It isn't like me to share photos, but I'm in an odd mood tonight, so there.

These were taken a month ago, during our summer "holidays." It depicts our subject in two different states of haggardness, which you will notice if you observe the hair closely. Our subject and her companions were studying an hour or so before a Biochemistry quiz, you see.

Pink hair!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Nice. . . I wonder if pink or red hair would suit me.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I think it suits you, Mr Rune.

Looks good Fea. If you want to be really outrageous, try green hair and add yellow spots.

*Sounds like a Peter Gabriel song, no?

Why didn't you dye the eyebrows, Fea?

Fear of accidental blindness ensuing.

Fair enough. It still looks very cool. One day my tongue will be as prehensile as yours.

And Lhuny looks lovely - no hairy hagardness noted.

Very nice. Ah...to be young again when colouring one's hair doesn't cause an office panic/expulsion nor calls for an exorcism.

Is that a fly in the upper corner that you're trying to catch?

Lhunardawen, nice. Note that, being me, I see a person whose head can spin round like an owl...which is a little creepy.

I'm not sure youth applies... I've spent the past two days with my father's voice in my head asking "And just who do you expect to hire you looking like some dumb punk kid? I certainly wouldn't have you working for me."

Is that a fly in the upper corner that you're trying to catch?

But of course.

You're sweet. But that's because the photo's too small to show it, I now realise.

There's a certain trick to it. I could teach you, if you like.

Fea, you amazingly manage to look good in anything.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thanks for the inlightentment Hookbill, now I just need to cut my hair, let my beard grow, gain a few pounds and then use that die. . . .

Of course I would have to stay away from fea as well, otherwise I would steal her thunder.

[Folwren]

Eh, er...hm...I will refrain from any comments.

But, tell me, seriously - why can't people be satisfied with natural hair colors??

If you mean teaching me how to look like picture #2, (1) I can look haggard without any assistance (it's genetic), or (2) if you hadn't noticed, there's no way with my current hair style that I'd ever be able to accomplish said feat, regardless of training (and long hair takes up time that I'd rather use drinking coffee) or (3) learning to spin my head completely around might sound like a good thing, but, as a parent, sometimes it's better not to turn around and to just keep walking.


Fea, I'm reminded of the commercial for those little teeny breath mints where the woman juggles a bunch on her tongue. Your picture could be inserted in the last 5 seconds of the ad with the tag line, "Now in pink lemonade!"

If I were you, I'd be sending your photo now. And when you make it big, just now and then remember us little people.

I spray coloured my hair pink for a Breast Cancer fund raiser. It was fabulous.... made me feel so happy. Wish I had done it when I was at college and it didn't matter .... but a girl in the office I am now has pink streaks ... but she is a lot younger

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Well, I've thought of posting this. I went to the Doctor Who museum in Blackpool recently and I got a photo or two that I'll share with you Downers here.

[Oddwen]

I have a few pictures that I took a few weeks ago and am fairly happy with - thought blast them 'round the graveyard.

Here and Here.

Also, here are some cute duckies.
