We must all be far too busy reading to bother going to the hairdressers.

Actually no, I don't go to the hairdressers because a) I am tight-fisted and I can cut it myself for free, b) I don't like people poking aorund my head and c) being asked on every visit if I'm "going anywhere nice" for my holidays makes me fell like being overly sarcastic in reply ("oh, just having a fortnight in Mordor, you know").

I wear contacts too. I save my specs for at home because they are so thick I can guarantee I would get 'humorous' comments from people about them.

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. Could this be my age that I have presumed Tolkien fans to look like that? I did see a lot of people like that at Birmingham 2005, but then I was also surprised to see many, many perfectly ordinary looking older people too.

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!
