Is that what you mean? (And does this have anything to do with me deciding to look like Vic Godard becuz my mom once tht he looked rubbish? I did think it odd, reading further down, that neither of my stories related to wanting to look HOT/COOL at ALL: they related — I think more — to wanting to look edge-of-the-eye tiny mindfuck; as if I'd far rather just puzzle foax than pull...)

let me just be gross here and say what sticks in your mind? dimples in peoples fat stomachs, dandruff and falling hair, as well as pale white profiles that have hardly been touched, it's really all equivalent I just mean, I want to be able to talk about real stuff instead of having to pretend that - it's your tenderness, I suppose, that makes the object something interesting, even in the case of Naomi Campbell, but this is not to say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, because this is the only kind of relationship to any object you CAN have, it has nothing to do with 'beauty.'
now my answer is boring me. let me try to actually make a point. I am not bored with attractiveness; I just assert everybodies attraction to things unmentioned here (not just in this thread, but everywhere) and unmentioned generally. Also I assert my disappointment in not hearing anybody groan with impatience and rub somebodies face in the dirt and the grass and say 'Is THAT attractive?' and then the person will say 'yes yes' and be happy for the rest of their life. Not happy, but . . . talkable to.

Seriously though, not that what I said wasn't serious but let's stick to the greater point, I have no idea what you are talking about. I don't find dimples in fat attractive, I don't find dirt attractive, I don't find dandruff attractive. I suppose going with "atypical attractive" I find quite thin men attractive? In general, at least, suddenly lately I don't but generally I do. I don't know, I get treated like my tastes are a little bizarre from time to time but it's nothing that isn't under the realm of what I think you're talking about as generally accepted.

Second, I *did* start talking about local boys I actually am friends with in all their dirty imperfection who I find completely beautiful. But you know what? No one on this board even knows who Dan Clark or Ollie Flanagan even are, let alone what they look like, so how are people supposed to judge my taste in men from that?
Third... the "Thom Yorke is so gosh darn cute" interjections that I make on every thread are quite joking. Whenever anyone starts to get a bit heavy and analytical critical about Radiohead, (or any other of the "intellectual band" canon) it's a good thing to interject.
That's what I *love* about this board, the utter post-modern irreverance. People will discuss the musical quality and aesthetic value of Britney Spears. So, I mean, why not? If Tom et al can talk about disposable pop music in high minded academic and critical terms, why can I not talk about high minded intellectual music with a Smash Hits style "most shaggable band" slant?
It's only fitting.

So I claim "psuedo-intellectual" back from your "use other words list" and use it with pride and snideness, safe in the knowledge that at least I *know* that I am what I decry.

Great! Two personal heroes of mine whose style I admire! RW is very beautiful.I had some painful experiences wanting to look certain ways inspired by music figures when I was a teenager (especially). Painful because I could never get close. Partly because of my physicality, partly from not having the means or knowledge or whereabouts to be able to procure dress items that might've helped. For instance when I was 14/15 I wanted to look like Graeme Downes and other Dunedin musicians (and poets); but I could only find big adult men's suit jackets that were way to big for me (and yes did wear one to horrible effect). I wanted deserately to look like the small John from They Might Be Giants when I was 14 too. Not having small/flat breasts was a real bane. I still sometimes think over people I find inspiring as public figures in that way of wondering if some aspect of their appearance could be somehow emulated to make me more comfortable. Especially in view of becoming older female.

i'm skinny and blonde and since i was a kid i've kinda tried to look like twiggy, though if I grew my hair I tried for nico. i've only fairly recently given up the masochism of emulating models. i ostensibly was just going for their style, but those ladies could wear a garbage bag, a diaper, and a mullet and still look cute/hott.
so now i'm just trying for cecil b. demillehttp://classicmoviefavorites.com/demille/demille3a.jpg
