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.
I fell down and got confused. Willow fixed me. She's gay.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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

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...

Hec, I think you're thinking of Edith Nesbit.

it's hard to find girls with dark hair and light eyes. Another dark haired brown-eyed beauty is Eve Myles.

Ooh, I've got her! She's Olivia de Havilland, but with light eyes! (I went paging through Best Actress nominee/winner wikipedia pages, and as soon as I saw a picture of her as someone other than Melanie Wilkes, I knew I'd found my character.)
Thanks, y'all--this helped, even though I ended up finding someone else, because it helped me clarify what I was looking for.
