What do I look like?

Okay, the contest is over. Thanks to those who participated. First, my responses to your guesses:

Wow, gross! In comparison to that description, I’m drop-dead gorgeous.

You are right on every count. But you don’t win.

What can I say to that except that it touched me deeply.

In some respects, I am definitely a perfectionist – so much so that I drive people crazy. In other ways, though, I am quite the opposite. It’s really pretty bizarre.

If there are 2.7 cm per inch, I’m about 174 cm tall (5’4 ½”). My weight is about 130 lbs (on a good day). I guess that would make me about 59 kgm. Yeah, I’d say I’m a pretty average build, small to medium-boned.


Hair is definitely not auburn. I was born a very, very pale blonde, but my hair has darkened over the years. The last time I wore it shoulder length was when I was first married. Complexion is fair to medium, not dark. And my eyes are a kind of turquoise-gray.


I wear about an average amount of make-up, I’d say. But I don’t spend an hour putting it on. Life’s too short for wasting it on standing in front of the mirror.

You’re pretty much right about the jewelry. I wear a wedding ring and one other ring. I am really turned off my rings on every finger. I occasionally wear a necklace or a bracelet, but almost always wear earrings. I’m kind of known for my earrings. I like really, really funky ones. Long, dangly ones or big hoops or earrings made out of shells or other interesting things. I actually even have a pair of earrings I bought at my brother-in-laws nature store a few years back. They’re made of wood or plastic, I guess, but look like big, ugly slugs. I only wear them when I’m in a really, really foul mood.

I like to think that these statements describe me perfectly. At any rate, they are how I would like to be perceived.

How about semi-earthy. Yup, I love fish and I love to be cuddled.

I am blind in the dark!

Absolutely, I’m verrrrrrrrrry blessed.

Not even remotely. My smile is actually my best feature. I’ve always been told what a great smile I have.

Ever since I was about 8 years old, I have wanted more than anything to have dark hair and an olive complexion. I used to occasionally dye my hair dark brown, but it really looks crappy with my fair skin. I do wear reading glasses, but I don’t need them for anything but reading. If you were to meet me on the street, I wouldn’t be wearing them, because my eyesight is really pretty good.

Yeah, you’re right about the spunk. I think of myself as a pretty nice person. I essentially never try to be mean to people, but as sweet as my avatar looks, most people find that when they attack me first, this kitty has claws.

You cheated, but you got my age right. I am 57 years young. Throughout my adult life, people have always thought I was about 8 years younger than I really am. Most people who would meet me today would guess that I’m about 49. Obviously, I love it, but it sucked big time back when I was 26 and people thought I was 18!


I’d definitely describe my hair as ash blonde. It’s got a lot of gray now, but I keep the gray pretty-well covered up. I wear my hair short and have for years. I’m not sure what michel meant by “untidy hair.” Obviously, I don’t like dirty hair, but I’m a very, very casual gal in that way. I like my hair to look a bit tousled, not every hair in place. Most of you won’t know who financier Suzy Orman is, but if you do, my hair is quite a bit like hers. I also change my style radically quite often. Sometimes it’s super short and kind of spikey, but most of the time it’s a little bit more conservative than that.

You were pretty close on the height and weight, SnaleSpace, but I’ll have you know that a US Women’s size 6 (which is what I am) is NOT DUMPY!!!!

Yes, I’m Caucasian. My ancestors came from Great Britain (Yorkshire area), Germany, France and Denmark.

No, nutshell, I am not a kind, grandmotherly type. Yellow knit sweaters with white blouses underneath? No. Not even remotely close. My daughter (who’s now 23) had to write a paper about her parents back when she was in 3rd grade. She said I wore gypsy clothes. She wasn’t far off. I’ve always liked a kind of a Bohemian kind of look. I like bright colors and fun fabrics and unusual styles. But I think that, as non-traditional as some of my clothes are, they are still pretty classy. I’ve been told that I’m the classiest dresser in my LDS ward (congregation).

For my age, I think I am!!!

Married 35 years to the most perfect man I could have ever hoped for.

Okay, I’m going to declare a tie between YmirGF and SnaleSpace. Do you guys want frubals (mine are worth quite a bit) or 1000 coins (I won’t split them. If you pick coins, you’ll get the full 1000).

 

Thanks! I just did.

 

Thank you, Maize! And all the work on this thread for nothing. All I had to do was e-mail Maize.
