**_SHHHHHH_…Vanilla** --------you weren’t suppose to say anything! ☹

I don’t think that everyone read that thread. Doesn’t matter now, I guess. 😛

Anywho, I am sure that some have had an image of me in their mind. Like you, what did you think I looked like?

In certain shots I look like Jolie. I think it’s the lips, unfortunately.

For pics, look on the WWW below to see everyone at the NYCdopefest2003, including me.

HAH. I am most certianly a female. And I won’t ever refute that I look like Halle Berry…except that the only thing we have in common is …uh…she’s done James Bond. I’ve watched James Bond films. Yes, the resemblence is uncanny. 😃

I’ve short reddish hair, blue eyes and have never knowingly or unknowingly looked or sounded like John Goodman in my life. ( Closer to a Winona Ryder-ish look with a Daria Morgendorfer sarcasm.

Well, I haven’t been here long, not even long enough to get many impressions of the Dopers. And I doubt that many have a mental picture of me, either - although feel free to let me know if you do!

But there are some people I’ve managed to get symbolic images of, even though they aren’t “real people” images. I picture **Qadgop the Mercotan** as a young sorceror in his late 20’s, thanks to a name with a definite fantasy quality. He’d be kind of skinny, clean shaven, with long brown hair, wearing a suitable blue robe and pointy hat. In real life, I’d imagine him looking the same, except with a lab coat instead of wizard garb and somewhat shorter hair.

When I hear **superbee** , I always think of the cartoon bee from the Dodge Scat Pack. The one with a crash helmet and racing slicks instead of legs.

Daa-aamn! You would hit right on one of my major weakness. Petite redheads.

With these images of **SexyYouJest** , **FlammsteXpurdychinesegirl** , and **VivaGirlyBabe-alicious** floating around in my head, I don’t think I should stand up for a while. At least, not until the swelling goes down. 😉

Now if only **Kn\*ckers** had a pic available…

**Shirley** : Oh my God, I have been unemployed (as I am every winter and summer break) since Dec. 13 but am back to work as of the 8th and then 15th. Uncanny. And I do have a thing for Elvis, clearly.

\*\*NCB: \*\* Thanks==the pic of me on the Doper pages was from my L’Oreal mahogany days. I’m Plum Orchid now, but I can get out my box of True Red any time and color away. And I am petite, at 5’ 3".  
There is a goofy pic of me on my TM homepage with my DNFTT hat and yet another digital-camera-puffy look.

But enough about that. We want NCB! We want NCB! We want NCB! (repeat)

**Jersey!**  
you look nothing like Jolie to me.  
You look exactly like a girl I grew up with named Ruby, but you aren’t because she would be 46 right now.  
You TO ME look like a young Mexican Victoria Principal (thats a compliment).  
**Joe\_Cool** looks Exactly like i thought he would!

I think **His4Ever** looks like…Victoria Jackson.  
So, His, lets have a photo of you!

\*\*Michael Ellis \*\* is a very dapper dressing gentleman sporting designer suits that cost more than the average yearly wage of a middle class Nepalese. He has intense, yet sincere, brown eyes, littler taller than average height, dark brown hair and nice laugh lines. Mr. Ellis has Alan Greenspan as his personal secretary.

**GingeroftheNorth** : Rising from the waves of the ocean, standing in a giant scallop shell, her long red hair blowing about her head like a halo. (She is nude, but the hair hides the naughty bits) Cherabim and Seraphim sing hozanas and cavort playfully around her head, their translucent wings glowing in the light of the sun peeking over the horizon behind Ginger. It is obvious that the sole reason the Earth and Sun exsist is simply to frame her beauty with the majesty od nature.  
This is pretty much accurate, BTW. 😉

Hmm, well, I’m still fairly new here, but here are my own little twisted depictions:

**Monstre** is visually like that big orange (space alien?) thing from the bugs bunny / marvin the martian cartoons. Only he gives off an Al Pacino vibe.

**garius** reminds me of Christopher Walken in a trenchcoat and fedora, wearing doc martens, sipping a glass of cognac.

**Muad’Dib** looks like Akira, only taller, and strangely, he too wears a trenchcoat

**Flamsterette X** reminds me of girl-type Ranma

**Shirley Ujest** is a Mary Engelbreit drawing

**superbee** is wearing a red and yellow striped motorcycle helmet

**Mangetout** reminds me of another Ranma character, but I don’t remember his name. It’s from an episode where Ranma stays at this chatuea with a french family who engaged in some sort of gourmet kung-fu eating. Yeah, I know, you had to see it.

**FairyChatMom** is Glenda the Good Witch of the East from the Wizard of Oz

**CelticCowboy** gives me a Harrison Ford vibe, with a more Robert Redford sense of style

Those are just the ones that come to mind at the moment, although there are much more!

**Skerri** looks an awful lot like a girl I went to Jr High with whose name was Sherri.

So she has long dark hair with a kind a late seventies dorky cut that she pulls off. She has a slight olive tint to her skin and dark eyes. She looks a million times better when she sincerly smiles then any other time.

Interesting. In my mind, I’ve always pictured myself kind of like the monstre on the left in[this picture](http://garnet.acns.fsu.edu/~rmyers/pics/bb_gosmr1.jpg).

But I’ll have to look for the one you mention, and see if I want to change my image… 😉

Well, actually my wardrobe is mostly Columbia outdoor shirts and Khaki Dockers, and my eyes are blue-grey, but apart from that it’s more or less right. 😃
