Reading the thread about 'types', I started thinking about a game I used to play with my best friends. We tried to place someone in history, not based on personality, but on pure looks.

One guy really looked like a medieval stable-boy, the other was a knight, a viking, a German officer. Girls would look really 'fin-the-siècle', Marilyn Monroe-ish etc.

When I asked my friends where I 'belonged', they always used to say: 'you're a girl in some typical American highschool, the one you see in films 80's-films, talking to friends while shutting her locker, wearing a short skirt.'

Very unromantic. I prefer to see myself as the best friend of Virginia Woolf, hanging out with some dandyesk figures, but I guess I don't have this in me.

What about you? Or other orgers?

some say i ressemble what an 80s chick would look like

so i put myself in the downtown 80s new york scene, around the time warhol and basquiat were still alive, at seedy nightclubs and art galleries...

Why the sigh? Thats damned cool..

The way I look and dress these winter months I think I look like a 1940's harbour worker who's tried to dress up for a date.

i always wanted to be a bar wench in medeival london. i don't know why.

I can't say they're completely off the mark though. You could be a snotty cheerleader who bullied the girls who weren't as pretty.

I guess I'd be in the 1700's or whenever the pirates were around....minus the eyepatch and poor hygiene....

The funny this is I wore glasses until I was sixteen and my hair was short. I only wore Nirvana-shirts that would hide my body as much as possible. The guys only liked me because I would climb in the trees with them and go skating. When I was sixteen I underwent a metamorphose. The first time people told me I was pretty I was really confused.

But, back on topic. I'd love to be really rococo one day. These costumes-films are most of the time very boring but the clothes make me I can't find a good picture, it must be something like this.




I would need to enlarge my breasts though, so they could be pressed together looking until they look like one.

MarieLouise said:

That would actually suit you quite well too.



And then they'd go well with your only eye.

retina said:

I finally know what you look like !!




"Dock worker carrying cement in the harbour"

MarieLouise said:

Another breast thread in the making...

retina said:

I was thinking the same thing when I said that.

But some things are funnier when someones else says them.

So here's your favourite emoticon :

Shit. I want to make fun of Retina.

always thought i would love the underground scene in berlin in the 20s and 30s

i have high cheekbones and i think my eyes are slightly slanted. i think i fit in some indian tribe or with my afro growing out i could be somebody's momma from the 70s or not somebody's momma an activist like angela davis.
