Thumbs up Everlasting Whiteness

I love your personal title, Kath. Who thought it up, and what does it mean?

Flattering Enchantment, how fitting, Wilwa!

Child of the West. It's so simple, so wonderful. Great choice, Kitanna!

Congratulations to you three on getting your PT's!

Love your choice there Wilwa. Fluttering Enchantress suits you perfectly.

Kath, i'm in love with your Everlasting Whiteness. It's great.

Kitanna, exactly why did you choose Child of the West?

And Perky, still can't think of yours? You really should get a move on with that. Just kidding! I still think you should take Eatible Ent.

I was flipping through my ROTK book looking for something I could use as a personal title. And then I found:
Quote:
Sing and be glad, all ye children of the West
So I liked it and for some reason I thought it fit me.

Sorry Mith never saw that. No actually it never was to do with anything LotR. Nilp and I were communicating while I was on holiday and when I told him I didn't tan he came up with that and suggested it for a PT if I was ever given one. That is why there's a wink at the end of his question:

It does sound quite LotRish though which is good!

Silmaril

I don't have The Silm with me so I can't quote it, but Everlasting Whiteness *does* have something to do with, if not directly pertaining to, Oiolossë. So, Kath, you know that wasn't a Nilp original.

LOL .... If I had an HI-like inclination towards surveys.... I am sure that it would reveal that a disproportionate number of downers don't tan. We have an awful lot of redheads and the two rarely combine and a number of our brunettes are of the pale and interesting variety. I wonder if it because a pale complexion is generally regarded more positively in Tolkien than in the outside world or just that we spent more time inside reading....

As for Child of the West .....as well as Gwaihir's song, Bilbo is described as thus by Thorin on his death bed " There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. " Another lovely choice
