Um, that’s my hair.
grumble…grumble…some people pay NO attention…think you can just BUY something like that and throw it around your neck!..Boa, hmmmph!..grumble
Whoops…well, I still like it. It’s purple and funky. 
Oooh. I just got a few pics back from Sunday’s NASD stuff…
I usually don’t say much about my work but I’m darn proud of that regalia. It took me a month’s worth of hard work to finish AND nothing fell off of it when I danced!
S’okay 
And yes, that necklace is fantastic.
mischievous
Yow.
How you doin’?
I searched the thread for my name and didn’t find it so …
Here I am at age about 3 (ca 1925)with my mother.
Andat 20 at Rankin Aeronautical Academy, Tulare, CA. 15 Nov. 1943. I think our dispatcher, who was a real dish, must have walked by just as the picture was taken. When learing to fly is pays to have an instructor named Robin.
And finally,at 83 at our 62nd wedding anniversay. 21 June 2006.
Silly me; I forgot to make with the traditional compliments and flirting. I shall proceed forthwith.
LunaV, you’re a cutie.
malkavia…damn. That’s pretty much it. Just…damn. (Are you actually a Malkavian? I hope so. The crazy ones are so much more fun.)
Miss Purl McKnittington, you already know I think you’re beautiful.
AFG, pretty as always.
I’m sure I missed more than a few, but hey, it’s my first read through the whole thread…I’m sure I’ll be back to give all our Doper ladies the, erm, attention they deserve. 
Oh, thanks! And thank you too, JCorre! I like it because it flips up easily so I can hide it for job interviews and whatnot. Plus, if I decide to take it out, no visible scar.
And also, thanks, Tuckerfan. I don’t quite know what to say, but that was a really nice compliment. I’m one of those people who, when complimented on their dress, say: “Oh, it was a dollar.” So I feel I have to let the board know that the picture is dishonest because I have horribly crooked teeth. I don’t have a pic of them, because as soon as someone whips out a camera, I close my mouth. There, that’s a load off my chest! Haha.
And yes, Vlad/Igor, they’re that blue in person. They’re bluest in bright light, so the flash makes them look blue, as does sunlight. Ordinarily when I’m outside, they’re hidden behind glasses, though. But thanks.
There were a few pictures I wanted to comment on, but now I’ve forgotten who they were. I’ll have to look again and come back later. I just wanted to reply before I came across as rude. 
Now to go watch horrible girly movies! Yay!
I’d like to claim full-blooded (hah!) Malkavian, but I’m a Toreador at heart.
“Ooh look, pretty sunrise—OW!”
…and thank you.
Yes. Eyes. Scrumptious.
Where’s kawaiitentaclebeast? You’d think he’d be in here to keep his crush alive.
You could say, “Come to rinni.”
Crooked teeth happens to be one of my kinks. Somebody warn me when I get close to “creepy stalker” behaviour!
Awww … yeah. And, the caption is exaclty right too giggle. I lubs me a guy with a commanding presence.
Zebra I hope you don’t take offence, but you look a lot like my son. He’s the one in the white shirt.
And yes, it is a circus over here. sigh
The gorgeous Mr. Roland Orzabal thinks I’m beautiful? Well, smooches to you, darling, smooches. Even if you occasionally let yourself get scruffy. You are so on my Christmas card list.
And I must say that I’m terribly impressed by bouv’s 'stache. That is some impressive facial landscaping. Also, kudos to you on your clean nostrils, which I discovered when I made the mistake of enlarging the “‘stashin’ action” shot.
Eve, you are just endlessly sophisticated and classy. I strive to look that put-together, but usually fall somewhere on the spectrum between “caught in a rainstorm” and “hit by a car.” You are so very elegant.
We shouldn’t be too busy hitting on the hot young ladies in this thread (how is everyone ignoring The Sausage Creature?) to fail to be impressed by a 62nd wedding anniversary. David Simmons, I salute you. Sure puts my parents’ paltry 38 years in perspective 
I think you might have been doing a little too much LDS…
Susie Derkins is EXACTLY the babe I imagined her to be.
Eve too.
I think there is some element of self selection going on in this thread.
LunaV, DiosaBellissima, **Indygrrl **, and The Sausage Creature are all hot enough to boil Lake Erie. So much for my “Hot chicks aren’t usually smart” theory. I’ve never had any sexy posters, but now I can say that I’ve talked to a few. I knew I paid to be here for a reason.
You and me both.
I, for one, welcome our now-known-to-be-totally-babelicious overlords.
Ha ha, no way, kawaiitentaclebeast! I’m the ugly duckling in the family, and the swan stage hasn’t exactly arrived yet. I’m not going to break any mirrors or anything, but my siblings are way prettier than I am. True story from childhood: My mom always handed out school pictures of my brothers and me, and the relatives always had all three of us out . . . for a while. Then my face would get covered up by something on the fridge/bulletin board/whatever and my brothers’ pictures would stay out. It was just last week that I realized there are school pics of my brothers displayed from the age of ten on, but there are only two of me, and one of those is a family portrait, so it’s not like I can’t be in it.
Hey, wow, that’s actually really sad. I think I just depressed myself a little. Look! A squirrel cozy! Ah, that makes things better.
There seems to be a problem with your picture. It looks like the bottom of your tattoo was cut off. Do you have a shot that extends slightly lower than the one you linked to? I’m always fascinated by women with tattoos.
