I just followed the bread crumbs back to your site! ::fanning self:: very nice scenery you got there. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Kat I love this character, all of them in this book, I just wish the pace at work would slow down a bit, and that I get over this cold soon!<BR/><BR/>Dean, agreed, about Sinead. The way I've always remembered her is in the video of the cover to that Prince song. Just mesmerizing. <BR/><BR/>To paraphrase an old saying, curiousity squicked the Kat. heh.vanessa jayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11059178422559443067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664187.post-1130342936300234112005-10-26T12:08:00.000-04:002005-10-26T12:08:00.000-04:00I finally gave in to curiousity and followed that ...I finally gave in to curiousity and followed that 'Bobbitt' link.

Soulful and strong and it really emphasizes her wonderful eyes. I've always thought that Sinead O'Conner was a strikingly beautiful woman, too.<BR/><BR/>Oh, about grey: in my opinion, if a woman has a lot of grey, very short hair looks good. Short grey hair says 'I know who I am'.<BR/><BR/>Oddly, one of my favourite protags is a woman who is naturally hairless. I don't know whether this means anything or not.Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023986850397045322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664187.post-1130250737037614062005-10-25T10:32:00.000-04:002005-10-25T10:32:00.000-04:00I think bald is beautiful!

I used to threaten ds that I was going to shave my head, tattoo "Ds's Mom" across my scalp and show up in my rattiest bathrobe to pick him up from school. *g* <BR/><BR/>Sela, the herione isn't beautiful, but she is striking. I think having her beautiful with a bald head is just bad as having her beautiful with long floooowing locks of hair. <BR/><BR/>I think I'm going to play with that confidence aspect. She probably doesn't see herself as confident--the shaved head has to do with her profession--but she will grow more confident as the story goes on, and it'll show in her change of attitude towards her hairstyle. <BR/><BR/>Did I thank y'all for dropping by?

I think it works best on women who fall just outside the "beautiful" range and into striking or interesting.<BR/><BR/>I'm getting a haircut on Wednesday and considering something much shorter than I have.

You must have the right bone structure, correct make-up (if any), and a helluva lot of self-confidence to carry this off.<BR/><BR/>As for gray hair--pshaw. I've had it since jr. high.

Life is too short, ya know? On the other hand, if I look like absolute shite going grey I will dye--and not be too happy about it. :-P <BR/><BR/>I've always thought Annie Lennox was beautiful.

And she is does have power. In fact she was literally stripped of her (magical) powers, then discover another latent type of ability (that wasn't so powerful) and now her character arc for the story is how she discovers a deeper/differnt kind of power within herself that comes from self-knowledge, etc. Gee, these comments you guys are leaving just cause me pick up another thread of the h's personality. The fact that it's so easy to do so, once again reinforces that she's *the one*. It's been like this since I discovered her, every time I thought about another aspect of the story, stuff just comes to me. Sweet.
