My eyes…and my smile. My eyes seem to catch peoples attention and my smile isn’t one of those broad ones, but I have been told by several people that they like seeing it. Keith ---

I would have said my goatee until I shaved it off, now I’m not sure there’s anything left 🙂 ---

I’ve been blessed with clear skin and, being 18, have had next to no acne throughout my teenage years. I have awesome hazel eyes (mostly green with brown flecks around my pupils), and I’ve been told I have a perfectly shaped nose. 🙂 ---

… I have long dark eyelashes, a quick wit, a nice smile, and a 6’2" frame. I tend to be “nice” also. [sub]jury is still out if “nice” is good or not[/SUB] ---

I never thought about it until yesterday, but now I really like my nose. It’s just the right size and shape and is really good for all sorts of useful things like smelling and nuzzling. Plus, I got a really cool compliment on it yesterday, can’t get enough of those: “Just checking it out and seriously that is one fine nose. People would pay serious money for a nose like that. Any chance you could pick up a Kleenex advertising contract huh?” Yup, I think the taternose has officially replaced the taternavel as most favored body part. ---

I like my hair (almost always anyway). It’s thick and perfectly straight. I’ve dyed it for years and it’s still very happy. With the amount of abuse I’ve put it through, I honestly expect a coup any day now, but so far all’s well. I also like my eyes, eyelashes and eyebrows. My eyes are dark blue and my lashes adn brows are naturally dark, almost black. I have to pluck my brows but the result is great. My mouth is also a favorite. Soft and full and I’ve never had a canker sore in my life. Finally I’m impressed with my calves. They’re so muscular it’t ridiculous. They rest of my body is not like that, or rather, it’s hiding under a bit too much body fat for me to like it, but my calves! When I flex, I see all kinds of funky muscles. ---

Um Physically? We _have_ to choose something physical. Um… I have a freckle perfectly placed above my lip, its cute. Actually, my lips are kinda nice, now that I think about it. And I actually think my bent tooth is adorable, but that’s my weird thing. (You know how teeth are supposed to be one smooth curve in front and straight lines on the side? The tooth next to my two very front teeth on the left wants to be part of the straight side line, so its twisted in its socket.) Other than that, I would rather a lot of things be different. Spiritually and mentally I’m happy. I like who I am, but what I look like? Eh. Well, if it count’s I’m really expressive, and I like that. I like my emotions being transperent to the world. Its an honesty thing. I count that under spiritual rather than physical though. ---

If we could harness the power in **Falcon** ’s smile here in California, we wouldn’t have a crisis on our hands. On the other hand, if we could tap into the sheer force that is Falcon herself, we’d probably suffer a meltdown of truly epic proportions… 😃 ---

My eyes…I always say they’re green but really? Navy blue border,light bluish green and exactly halfway between the outside edge of the pupil and the iris a golden ring. I have very long eyelashes-the bottom ones are longer than most people’s top lashes. I’ve been told I have a sultry voice and a sexy strut…don’t see that myself but I’ll take their word for it. Also I’ve been told that my skin is the color of a porcelain doll and I have a very cute laugh. ---

Well, I have always loves my height of 5’ 10". In most places it makes me, Tall Man, Reacher of Stuff! While I am somewhat self conscious of all the extra padding I have, I have been called, comfy, which I feel is a fine thing to be. And my eyes and smile have gotten some complements. On the whole, not bad. ---

Falc and Medea’s Child, you’re both hot. MC, you have so much more going for you than that friggin’ freckle I have half a mind to come to Pitt and diagram it out for you. Now, as for me . . . Some people say I have a sexy chest. ---

I have big _dark_ brown eyes, which are kind of unusual given my fair complexion. I think they’re cool. I’ve also been told I have a nice smile. ---

I like my eyes. They’re a nice shade of blue and very expressive. I like the two scars above my left eye, they add character. ---

GuanoLad–I love scrawny boys intensely. I honestly think that Sid Vicious has a great body. My friend Katherine and I have spent months in porn stores, trying to find skinny, untoned boys in magazines meant for straight women. No such luck. So don’t beat yourself up–scrawny boys are very nice. ---

Well, I like my hair. It’s somewhat curly and thick, and I get complimented on it (by my stylist, as well as quite a few people). My eyes are all right. They’re great and…I just like them. I’ve been told that I have a great smile. I don’t know about that, though I smile a lot when I’m around people. Besides my eyes, though, I don’t personally like my face. My hands are probably the only other thing that I like about myself physically. They’re fairly big and I’ve got long fingers. My hands are really, really dexterous, too. From years of doing magic and from playing bass for quite a while. ---

_gasp_ I like my hands too and I play bass too and my sig is sorta like yours! Hehe. I like my hands a lot… my knuckles are kinda knobbly (I think from when I would crack them) but my fingers are long and my nails are decent (when I don’t chew them). And, like spooje, people tell me I’ve got a nicely shaped head. And I like my legs too cause they’re long and my eyelashes cause they’re long also and dark (but they pretty much stick straight out ::shrug:: nothing a curler can’t fix).
