I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Hil (and this applies to all movies) if you analyze it, it will fall apart.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I'm looking for a face.

Which sounds weird, but I'm developing a character who's refusing to gel physically in my mind's eye, so I figure if I can just find an image to build her around, maybe she'll stop being so amorphous.

What I'm looking for is a woman in her early 30's who looks sort of delicate and feminine yet simultaneously tough and resilient. She doesn't have to be wildly gorgeous, but she needs to be reasonably pretty, and the kind of pretty that ages well. I'm picturing dark hair and light eyes, though I haven't settled on an exact shade for either. She needs to look intelligent and practical--the kind of person who'll keep her head when all about her are losing theirs--but she's also got a strong romantic streak.

Any ideas for an image that might fit the bill--actress, athlete, face in an old painting, etc.?

My first thought was this shot of Evelyn Nesbit: [link]

Actually, I was just reading that a picture of Evelyn Nesbit was the picture that LM Montgomery had when she was writing Anne of Green Gables. She had no idea who the picture was -- she'd cut it out of a magazine at some point, and it seemed like the sort of look she wanted for Anne.

how about a Russian Bride? Oddly enough, I googled "strong woman dark hair light eyes" and this is the first image that I got.

Here's another picture of Evelyn Nesbit, from when she was a little older, I think: [link]

t snerk on Richard Hatch...

Hmm. Nesbit, oddly enough, looks a bit too much like she could be a sister or cousin of my character's main love interest, especially through the eyes and nose, and I want them a contrasty couple rather than a matchy one. Hmm...
