To me, you’re [this lady.](http://www.sisterstv.com/charley/images/jo13.jpg) She showed up a few times on Northern Exposure as a fiesty pilot, so…  
I know, I watch too much TV.

**Broomstick** looks like [this picture](http://tinyurl.com/33vsh) (warning - not work safe).

**koeeoaddi** is either a Hawaiian surfer or Bugs Bunny (go figure).

**seaworthy** has dark blonde hair, is in her late 20s/early 30s, spends her days at the helm of a big wooden ship, and has the soul of a wise old sea captain.

**myrnajean** is probably not as old as I imagine her, but here goes.  
**myrajean** is a little old lady who dyes her hair silver, only it comes out with more of a bluish-purple tint. In the late evening she gets prank calls from silly teenage girls who say this " Myrna, your hair is purple" .

I’ve pictured her as Janine Turner (the regular fem pilot on _NE_, but with this huge zit on her face… 😉

She seems to be the sexiest girl on the SMDB. Everyone’s image of her is as some sort of sex kitten.

Exactly! In fact, she’s almost a beauty-pageant winner. You know, **misstee** 2004, **misstee** 2005, etc. Wonder what her special talent is?

It occurs to me that you could get more than you bargained for by yellling "DO ME DO ME DO ME DO ME " in a crowded room 😃

Anyway, I am kindof cheating, I have read lots of posts by you and have some idea of what you might look like.

Okay, here goes…

A very petite blonde, perhaps 40ish, with some “character” about your eyes and mouth. Very VERY light blonde hair. But you are NOT the “dumb blonde” looking type, more like a very serious journalist/PTA mom type.

Very focused, hardworking, a little line between your eyebrows from concentrating and having a little frowing habit.

Sauron…

I get the image of a well-muscled (but not muscle bound) good looking family man with a really wonderful personality that shows up on his face.

Pcture a cross between Rob Petrie and the fonz or something.

OK I’ll give this a go…

\*\*misstee \*\* - reminds me of that psycho girlfriend of Clint in “Play…4 Me”  
\*\*Lobsang \*\* - is a Himalayan climbing sidar who has adopted western tastes  
**Airman Doors** - brings to mind Milo Minebinder (sp?) from “Catch 22”  
\*\*pepperlandlady \*\* - for some reason brings up a picture of Paddy from Snoopy.  
\*\*Wintermute \*\* - is a Japanese computer geek  
\*\*Pravnik \*\* - is an eastern-European ex-disident author  
\*\*Bruce\_Daddy \*\* - is a foul-mouthed standup comic

More later maybe…

Oh forgot about \*\*Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor \*\* who is obviously a really crap childrens entertainer with a big black cloak going “Ta-Raaaa!!!” to his unimpressed audience after every trick… sort of like a cross between Dick Dastardly (from the Wacky Races) and the English comic Tommy Cooper.

**Spectre of Pithecanthropus** : I imagine a proto-human, either:

1. as a ghost

-or-

1. holding a white cat, plotting to kill 007.
