Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[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.
My first thought was this shot of Evelyn Nesbit: [link]
ha.both have big eyes and strong noses on delicate faces ---
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...
You know when I was reading all those Evelyn Nesbit books growing up, I didn't realize she was a freakin' hottie.
In other exciting news, Emmett was one of 12 kids in his league named to the 11 y.o. All-Star team.
there's also Catherine Zeta-Jones
Hmm, I think my character might look a little like Hortense de Beauharnais, only not as sad and with a shorter nose and a firmer chin.
Which is kinda weird, because it's perfectly possible that Hortense herself might show up in this series eventually...
