What has surprised me is that the male Downers by and large look very 'clean-cut'. There aren't many guys who look hippyish, which I would have expected.

We're all hippy rockers at heart.

Wilwa looks much more human than I imagined her. I really imagined her with a manic, static grin on her face, and buzzing around a lot.

I hate hairdressers, well actually I have a kind of fear of them so thats my excuse for having hair all the way to my butt. Plus you get cherged more for a trim if you have longer hair even though they're only cutting off the ends... so just as much as they cut off anybody elses! Besides I look more Elven like that!

I wear glasses too (you can't see because I cleverly have my back to the camera), I'd love to wear contacts but my eye sight keeps changing too much. I have the same problem with really thick lenses and seeing as I've just moved to uni and now have to pay for everything my self; I thought I'd splash out: I spent £257 at the opticians

, because I decided I needed my lenses thinned. I have rimless glasses you see.

I expected the guys to look more hippy-ish too... But I don't think there's anything wrong with clean-cut either!

Boro dances like Tom Cruise? And Gothmog too? Wow Tolkien fans and Ballroom dancers... I thought I was the only one!.... Well I do waltz to my own tune

... But thats a different kettle of fish...

I don't know any let says "proper" dances, I just make my own stuff up and call it dancing.

You can't tell from my picture, since my hair is up in it, but I do have kind of long hair. I've never had it cut by anyone but my mom, and she only does my bangs. The rest hasn't been cut in over 12 years, but it's only grown a foot or so in that time, since it's curly and grows slowly to begin with.

I always imagined Valesse to have the same color of hair as the cat in her avatar for some reason. Also, Wilwa looks like an acquaintence of mine from fencing, except with longer hair. Aman's new pic is very pretty too. And Nuranar looks quite like what I imagined her to be.

Dittos with Oromin on the long hair - mine's a couple inches above my waist (and growing fast), but pinned up and bonneted, it's impossible to see. And I don't wear glasses, although I have them... I use them for distance vision, usually only driving at night. I don't really need them. The frames are period, though, so they'd fit right into that picture if I wanted to look like a bookish spinster.

Hmm... so you think I'm 140 years out of style? Well!

Valesse · 11-09-2005, 09:33 PM

I started thinking about cutting my hair at Thenamir's line party for TTT. Micheal Martinez was there (I ended up sitting near him) and for some reason he kept calling me Arwen after I insisted I was dressed as a hobbit lass. That didn't go over very well with me, so, yeah... I might get it cut soon, but like Celebuial I can tuck the ends into my jean pockets! Isn't that Famdoosical?!

Oro: I do actually have very, very blonde streaks in my hair, but they aren't very large which makes it hard to see.
Nuranar: I LOVE your dress. Revolutionary era?

Since the message board on the site seems to hate me (is it the dial-up?) I'll post here.

The cow isn't technically mine, so don't be jealous of me, it's my cousins' cow. They have a similar dog. And I happen to enjoy balancing strange things on my head.

Also, I know it's been up there forever but I'm a huge fan of TORE's picture. And so many of you look like people I know!
