Does anybody have a mental picture of other posters? I imagine elegran to be small, slim, and modernly dressed.
I see Anniebach as a bigger lady with fair hair and glasses.

What do you think, and how right are you?

( You can tell I’m bored!)

I thought a photo would not be a good idea as what if someone recognised me .... how could my posts then be anonymous? GN wouldn’t be the same then for me!

I am from the Denis Healey school of eyebrows!

BBbevan Fri 28-Dec-18 19:22:33

I think my name sounds a bit severe. Does anyone agree.? And therefore what I might look like?

oops sorry! Grey why are your eyebrows wild? Mine are vertical, its a Scottish thing.

EllanVannin is female batty!

Greyduster Fri 28-Dec-18 18:54:17

I am short and fat with wild eyebrows. But you all guessed that didn’t you??

oldbatty Fri 28-Dec-18 18:47:29

Love the hat, labazs!

I'm strawberry blonde, svelte and elegant with perfect skin and nails, natch. I'm also a total liar!

labazs1964 what a lovely outfit, I'm sure you were a very proud MOB and your DGS is very smart in his suit.

It's nice that now I can imagine the OP's when posting.

shudder to think what folk must have made of me this is me and my youngest grandson at my daughters wedding couple weeks ago

EllanVannin Fri 28-Dec-18 18:12:26

It just goes to show how wrong one can be.

Anniebach Fri 28-Dec-18 17:57:54

Petite ? 5’ 7” tall, size 8, thick,wavy unruly hair to shoulders grey and brown streaks, not coloured by me.

Not small, i was called Anniebach when a few weeks old, (little Annie) doesn’t suit a 5’ 7” woman but it stuck. ?

You know what I look like, (well, at one moment in time anyway!) as my photo was posted when I did "Brave the Shave" for MacMillan.

As course since then I have become 4" taller, about 20 years younger, and dropped 2 dress sizes!

I’ve always loathed having my photo taken and just say that I look a bit like Miriam Margolyes but not as pretty.

PageTurner Fri 28-Dec-18 17:29:01

Nanawind you look so much like a very dear friend of mine, Jackie, who is an angel in Heaven.
A very nice photo of you.

Nanawind Fri 28-Dec-18 17:11:56

Short and dumpy with short blonde hair.

oldbatty Fri 28-Dec-18 16:00:50

Oh Lynn I love that black and orange

EllanVannin Fri 28-Dec-18 15:57:56

<<<<<<<<once a Barbra Streisand----now an Ethel Barrymore. Still the star quality though,koff koff.

EllanVannin Fri 28-Dec-18 15:55:34

A jolly looking gal Lynne59. Homely too.

GillT57 Fri 28-Dec-18 15:52:52

Bit of an Audrey Hepburn here........?

Maggiemaybe Fri 28-Dec-18 15:28:26

That’s a coincidence, Lynnebo! I’ve been told I look nothing like Jerry Hall.

Lynnebo Fri 28-Dec-18 15:23:20

You all know Nicole Kidman?

I’m nothing like that smile

BlueBelle Fri 28-Dec-18 15:22:12

I m told I look like Denise Welsh that’s the closest you’re getting
Was 5’7 bit shorter now size 14 ( platinum Blond so my hairdresser tells me) short a bit spiky hair casual dresser that’s about it

GrannyGravy13 Fri 28-Dec-18 14:54:38

I am 5’2” a sz 10 on the bottom and 12 on the top. Dark blonde hair with highlights in a shoulder length bob.

Clothes are normally skinny jeans with longline sweaters or shirts in and dresses in summer.

I think Annie is small because she once said so - Anniebach means little Annie.
I'm sort of average - quite skinny. I used to have thick bouncy auburn hair, nearly white now and getting thinner every day.
