I would have never thought of Gwathy like that! He looks like he should be in some movie, because he has the looks to be a movie star... well, that's just crazy, of course I know someone who's better looking!(That's male)

And wait, Lauri who are you getting me confused with?

I don't know where did that assumption come from. You just seem like a person with sandy-blond curls

I've figured out that picturing people to look like their avatars can be dangerous. No problem with doing that to people like Folwren or Groin (the dwarf thingy though, not the John Wayne (yet...) ), but when you start picturing Menel like his avatar something must be awry...

I know The Pogues Ka, though I must admit I only really know one song by them as a group, but the lead singer has been on Jools Holland on occasion so I've seen him more often.

Well, it's surprising that Lauri would get me confused with anyone one the Downs. But, you seem like a nice person, so I'd rather get confused with you that someone else...

There is an awful lot of gratuitous chatting going on here - please stick to the topic, folks! Personal conversations can take place in PMs or chat rooms.

Awh, you are flattering me, you know that?

I was *supposed* to have black hair like my great-grandmother, but instead I ended up with her daughter's weird mahogany/brown-black as the years have gone by. Strange world it is, or not very.
You're right about the skin, dead on in fact. I change like a lizard, and peel like one too. Though I rarely burn, just tan or further my chances of skin cancer. Whatever comes first.

Heavy lined? Hmm, sometimes, when I feel like it. Usually I just use whatever makes them look bigger, since they're small and almond shapped.

Hmm, as for Fea... Well, this is how I see you, another type of portrait of sorts:

Has deep eyes, but not too dark. Ones that show a person that is well grounded, but not a novice to the imagination and thinking outside the sphere of things. Oval-like face, with a witty but sensible smile that tells there's new thoughts and plans afoot. Overall appearance gives a deeper meaning to the term, 'still waters run deep'. That's the term that pops into my head when I think of Fea.

I had brunch this past weekend with a fantastically wry artist clad in purple, lime green, and orange plaid, a grandpa-cardigan, a winter hat, and a pair of duct-tape repaired gold sunglasses about the size of my head. And black Chuck Taylors. He asked if I used to wear braces. The other folks present were confused. The question had seemed to come from nowhere. Thing was, he'd noticed within moments of meeting me that I tend to cover my mouth unobtrusively when I smile. Nobody ever sees that. And then he gave me a magazine cut out of Keith Richards and Mick Jagger. It was a great meal.
