Waifish - once many years ago. Now too many children and too much chocolate have produced a more rounded effect. Sort of hippyish as well. Still wear DM's.
Well, I only added Helen Hunt because it's a sight bit closer than Ruby Wax! Someone once told me I resembled a mix of, get this: Helen Hunt, Jodie Foster, Juliette Binoche, and Winona Ryder! To which I replied, "I wish!" I think it's the face shape/petiteness.
Foster! I was going to put 'built like Mary Lou Retton' but I figured no-one but a Yank would know who that was! Well done! In my fitter days (pre office job) we were a good match, Mary Lou and I.
No, I'm not boasting, as I don't resemble them in the slightest, apart from the face shape, and general smallness, as I said. Nonetheless, I felt enormously flattered. Who wouldn't? Better than Ruby Wax!
Just put the original head back on, rokkit. Then add some movie-star glamourous mystique to bug Liana, a heartshaped face (although, strangely, as I grow older it grows more squarish), and lots of mascara. That ought to sort it out!
I wouldn't say Fegs 'looks like' the bloke on the left. I'd say, a bit like those backwards messages you can hear in Led Zep tracks if you play them backwards, if someone says 'Does this guy's appearance in any way remind you of her?' you might go, 'Oh yeah!' and have a little chuckle. Not wanting to piss on your bonfire, or owt - just sayin'.
Beards are never attractive...Archer I didn't say you looked like Ruby Wax as a fact, simply that in my mind you do, is probably because i know you're American and I usually read your posts as being quite loud and opinionated (not in an offensive way, just in a Ruby Wax sort of way.)
I liked Jim Morrison in his beardie days. He was much better looking with that full beard than he was barefaced. But I had a math teacher once who had one of those Deliverance, backwoodsman kinds of beards (the kind that grow all the way down the neck and blend with the chest hair) and that was way. too. much. beard.
Having thoroughly enjoyed this madcap conversation its made me think...if I had gone to school with all you guys instead of the suburban sameys who accused ME of being weird... maybe I would have ended up less psychopathic.
ha ha ...as my friend J once said...where did I put that modicum of sanity, exploding kneecaps all over the place.
Just before Xmas I grew a beard, over several days of scrambling to meet deadlines and erratic sleep patterns. It's the first time I've ever been beardy, and it seems to suit me. The nice thing about beards is the moment you're tired of it, you can shave it right off.
FIrstly:'Beards are never attractive' - I don't agree. I like beards on certain people. Some people look 50 times better with a beard. Viggo Mortensen looks shit hot with a beard, for a start.
Secondly: I know I do 'resemble' that bloke off My family (a female, more attractive version, obviously)... I know this because the first time I saw him I had the urge to go and pick fleas off his back, and groom his hair, like some kind of chimp who was seeing her kinsmonkey for the first time.
fergal, Viggo Mortensen would look shit hot whether he had a beard, no beard, or wore a nappy on his head! He could park his slippers under my bed any old day of the week...
*drools at the thought*
If I ever learn how to put a photograph onto this site - well then I will. But I will not let a calumny stand. Heavy Metal!!?? Pah. I played in soul and funky bands mainly. Though the last band I played in was what can only be described as a Hard Rock band. Though the songs were described as being a cross between Elvis Costello and The Beatles. Yep; that sounds about right. But there was a funky backbeat to everything thanks to yours truly.
I've bumped into the stupendously talented guitarist/songwriter a couple of times recently, absolutely rat-arsed. Another casualty. I've never been able to figure out whether addicts join the Rock/Pop/Funk/Jazz world, or those worlds tend to turn us into addicts.
As to what I look like: I've been described as looking like Warren Beatty - but after 45 years of hard drinking.
...so I take it you're not in your late thirties then.
Unless you count your drinking career as beginning as an unripe ovum getting your mother's gin second hand.
If I ever learn to place a photograph onto this site - well then I will. I still don't know how to send an attachment. But I cannot let a calumny stand. Heavy Metal! Pah! I played mainly in funk and soul bands. Though I must admit that the last band I played in (I told them I'd help them temporarily - it lasted 18 months) was a hard rock band. We were described as being a cross between Elvis Costello and The Beatles. Go figure. This was because the brilliance of the singer/guitarists song writing.
I've met him a couple of times recently completely rat-arsed. I've never been able to figure out whether addicts are attracted to the Rock/Pop/Funk/Jazz music scene, or whether the music scene turns us into addicts. By the way he's one of the most phenomenal guitarist this country never got to see. Well apart from the few punters who got to see us in North London.
What do I look like? I've been described as looking like Warren Beatty, but after 45 years of alcoholism.
