Are Elves Shallow? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I never really thought elves as shallow, I just thought of them as very wonderful, noble, beings. In the books you never really hear about them being obsessed about their hair or clothing (which in modern terms is what I think of being shallow, even though Tolkien would never talk about a thing like that) I guess they are just lucky.

Quick question...
Where do they talk about Gwindor and his lost of status with his people? Is that in the Sil?
