I can’t think of anything in the interview I read that would make such a comparison insulting. Gown, satin opera gloves, impeccable etiquette, queen of local society. BTW-The truly insulting thing about your reply was that you didn’t even compare to me a star from the golden(or is that Gulden?) age of cinema. You could have said that I look like a very old Peter Lorre. ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by **Stccrd** _ > zev steinhart is an older gentlemen, slightly grayed hair, with glasses that are relatively small, and when they are on, give him the essence of great wisdom and knowledge. He is not really thin, but not gargantuan. The man is very astute, and has the look of an experienced scholar. ME TOO! **Guinastasia** – makes me think of wavy light brown hair and green eyes on (in?) a girl with a very small frame, who’s an absolute spitfire. **Daowajan** – before I knew what she looked like, I had an image of a girl with dark blond hair pulled back into a hurried ponytail that fell to the bottom of her shoulderblades. She had huge blue eyes hidden behind silver wire-rimmed glasses, and always had a pencil and pen with her. **Eve** – the coolest blend of retro looks. Nothing even concrete, actually, but aspects of: femme fatales of the 30s-40s, posh angularity of the 20s, and sophistication of a modern day New York high class woman. **Eutychus** – well, I picture a koala. A very nice and snuggly koala who moderates with a firm and loving hand. 😉 (I think the handle reminds my brain of “eucalyptus”) **His4Ever** – very similar to what others have posted. Straight darkish brown hair and little to no makeup, but a great smile. **slortar** – reminds me of a badass rock monster who can crush anyone. **you with the face** – someone standing in a police lineup with a paper bag over his head. **Shodan** – I picture a skilled samurai each time I see the name. **masonite** – Marylin Manson working on building cathedrals in Europe centuries and centuries ago. **SpoilerVirgin** – a young teen girl watching a horror movie in a theatre, covering her eyes, but with little cracks between the fingers to peek through. **RealityChuck** – Older teenage guy with shaggy red hair and freckles, wearing jeans and an old button down shirt over a black t-shirt, with Chuck Taylors on. **Diogenes the Cynic** – a man with a toga/robe, but also with tiny steel wire-rimmed glasses in front of a glowing blue screen. **Meatros** – a huge football player, in uniform, eating a large plate of spaghetti. Have I made enough of an impression on anyone? Huh? Have I have I have I have I??? 😉 [sub]please?..[/sub] ---

> [@](#): > > Dinsdale is another solid type, kind of like the father in a 1950’s sitcom, maybe a bit like Robert Young? Don’t know why you would get that idea! Now where is that dratted dog with my slippers?! And the little lady KNOWS the paterfamilias like 2 olives in his welcome home martini. Now excuse me as I pat the chilluns affectionately on the head and bid them goodnight, as I head off for an evening pipe in the den. Meanwhile, **CJ** is typing lying on her bed. Curly brown hair haphazardly pulled back in a loose ponytail. Wearing sweats or somesuch, quite comfortable, yet hinting at her shapely form. She looks up over oversized glasses, as her ruby lips form something between a question and a smile. Did I get it right? ---

Dinsdale: A pencil mustache, ascot, spats. Calls everyone “Darling” and carries a walking stick. ---

**Dinsdale** is closest so far. Come on, **Eve** , Raul Julia? About all I’ve got in common with him is we both fence! 😉 I just wanted to add that I see **Bosda** as the hero on the cover of a 1950’s pulp science fiction magazine. He’s standing proudly on some alien planet, presumed to be Tricor, in a space suit which reveals his buff form, helmet tucked under one arm, a cape hanging from his shoulders, and a sword or a laser pistol at his side.

It’s even more bizarre when you have met a Doper, and yet continue to picture them a certain way. **Ukulele Ike** for instance, in my head, smokes a pipe and wears a sweater with leather patches on the elbows. I imagine him with half-glasses on, peering over them. I’ve met the guy, but I can’t shake mental image… \*\* Eve \*\* is rarely to be found without maribou trim on some article of her person. She is usually found on a fainting couch. **Eutychus** Looks like Crooked Finger from the Dutch film _Antonia’s Line_. I know **Rue DaDay** is a fella, but I keep picturing him as Rue McClanahan, TV’s Blanche from _Golden Girls_. ---

\*\*Anahita \*\* is a willowly well traveled red head with an Audrey Hepburn look about her. \*\*thinksnow \*\* is wearing a parka, snowboard and smoking a reefer, dude. Kinda Keanu Reeve-ish, but more acting skills. \*\*Ukelele Ike \*\* Is sitting around in a hawaiian shirt playing a ukelelle. don Ho always figures into the background too, for some reason. \*\*Eve \*\* Is Myrna Loy from \*The Thin Man \* \*\*Daojawan \*\* is an imported japanese car. Two door. light blue. \*\*SwimmingRiddles \*\* is a blonde ( but in a good way) with wire rim glasses, dimples, red turtleneck, drives a VW and has goldfish bowl on her desk. \*\*Kal \*\* A young Yul Brynner.

I don’t know what to say about my voice though, it’s not helium-y but… 🙂 ---

**Zev Steinhardt** looks like the Jewish Smilie. Or, tall and thin, sandy hair, gray eyes. Wears sweater vests. **Meatros** always brings to mind the old SNL sketches of Butros Butros Golly. **Eve** is 5"10, 135, wears smashing 40’s type suits and strappy yet slightly clunky heels, wears her hair upswept, and is just beginning to show a few little lines around the corners of her mouth and eyes. **Fenris** is to me also - Ferris **Shirley Ujest** is 5’4 and outspoken. She wears glasses and has dark blonde hair. She shares a body with **Duck Duck Goose**. I believe they are twins seperated at birth. **Mullinator** = “Arnold’s” Terminator. Except instead of kicking butt, he has to sit and think about things. A slightly older version of Rodin’s “Thinker”. Just out of curiosity… Do me (ermmm, I mean, pray tell, what doth I bring to mind?) ---

Now that I see that’s not at all what you wrote, I will answer your question… I have in my mind a picture of either a man or woman, who is sophisticate and drinks lot’s of “tea”. This person says “rubbish” a lot. I’m also getting the “john edwards” vibe that you have brown hair and brown eyes and are of average weight. Your name begins with a S…S…maybe that’s someone on your mother’s side. Have you lost a family member lately?
