I guess no one wanted to know that

several laser treatments. they had to be repeated a few times because there is always some dormant hair. only the eyelashes we simply plucked until they did not regrow anymore

OUCH!! That sounds friken painful but it only adds to my admiration...you and your wife are WAY cool!

Me= My name is Imogen and I look like your average brown-haired blue-eyed nineteen-year-old except for a few glitches: I'm annoyingly short (1.45m tall. approx) and I have fustratingly large breasts (much to the annoying appreciation of some of the men who pass me in the street.) My facial features are quite plain- eyes pretty, nose slightly pointed and a bit of an acne prob... and there's a permanent tiny red dot on the tip of my nose that's been there since I was 12. I SUX I tell you! I have dimples, I can wiggle my nose and ears and I have been descibed as "Cuteness itself" by one of the actors I've worked with.

I like to wear black clothes and dark make-up 'gothic-style' but usually I just dress casually (like I am now: light flare-out jeans with a purple top and kahi-green cardigan.)  And now that it's spring- I've taken to wearing jasmine flowers in my hair as there's a jasmine bush on our fence and it looks and smells gorgeous so I can't resist.

actually it wasn't; we had feared so too, but if you use automatic tweezers you hardly feel it at all.
and since guys probably don't know what automatic tweezers are:

The Balds stole the show  (I wondered too about the lack of eyelashes but Jean answered that part).
   Ok, my looks: a thin man with shortish brown hair and a relatively big nose. My blue-green eyes are often told to be cute (by women) maybe due to my strong eye brows. My features are a bit like Tom Cruise's  (by that I don't mean to describe myself very handsome).

Ii have hair on the longer side of what would be considered short if you get my meaning. I go to a catholic school that makes me keep it short but i push the limits as much as i can. I usually wear jeans or khaki shorts and band(usually jamband) t-shirts and i always go barefoot or wear sandals, I guess kind of a hippie look  (im into jambands alot)

I used to be a mod, you know: smart clothes, angry expression, the best lambretta in town, nice fringe and so on... Now, not being a mod anymore (mod and progressive rock; is there any other comparison stranger than this one?) I dress a bit more casual. But there's one thing for sure: I will never wear jeans and I will never look hippish.

I'm about 6'1", fairly thin, brownish hair, blue eyes (which many people say look great, but are usually hard to see behind my glasses). I have a ponytail that goes down to my shoulderblades. I usually wear a t-shirt (colors ranging from black to dark green, designs ranging from bands to the periodic table). During the summer, I wear dark khaki jeans. In the colder seasons, I wear jeans (currently from American Eagle because some girls from my school tried to make me look more fashionable). For shoes I wear either sandals or brown leather shoes with no laces. For some reason, everyone seems to notice my long thin fingers. I've been called everything from handsome to "nowhere near the best looking guy at school", so I really don't know what to think.

I've been told I look like a young Elton John (before the queen of england thing).  Though recently my friends said I look like will Ferrel's impression of Janet Reno (owwww....).

I dress pretty normally polo shirts and nice clothes, but I only want to look respectable. I don't flip up my collar or anything.  One time I did and I felt like kicking my own ass.

I'm the one prog fan hanging out with a bunch of evil ska/punk kids.  And they like the insanity of Gentle Giant. 

Recently though, I've been hanging out with this one girl and her friends... They're pretty pop/punk oriented though, so I don't let many people listen to my CDs.  One time me and the girl swapped cds.  I got Green Day. She got Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh... and that's why I'm still only a friend

Seriously, I'm just a comedian kind of guy, but an angry one.  No goatee, but glasses and thick hair.  I can't grow the shag like some of my friends.  I look bad with a moustache.

I'm an enigma...

Well, working from the bottom up...

  • A pair of scruffy boots.
  • A pair of black/brown trousers (with a crease, obviously).
  • A coloured/patterned shirt (never just white) with a tie that may or may not compliment it, but is usually interesting at least, and more often than not rather old and slackly tied.
  • A jacket that makes some effort to compliment the trousers, but doesn't always manage it.
  • Long dark hair, probably in need of reducing to shoulder length again.
  • A ridiculous face marred by copious freckles, a bulbous nose and an overzealous eyebrow (two, if I've been bothered to preen).
  • A bowler hat in a state of disrepair (crack around the rim, now-detatchable ring, tatty ribbon, etc.
  • Nothing else. I stop at this point. Anything above my hat I cannot claim responsibility for.

You sound like quite a unique character.

I've certainly been accused of it before. I just wear what makes me happy - I like suits, they suit me, ties fascinate me by their sheer superfluousness and the bowler hat is a homage to three different creative individuals that have had a great deal of impact on my own work: Beckett (see Godot for details) P G Wodehouse (in honour of the indefatigable Jeeves) and of course Rene Magritte (see avatar). Plus, I just like the look and would happily see the bowler come back into fashion.

Anyway, despite all that ^ I've still managed to acquire a gorgeous girlfriend so I shan't be changing my look any time soon.

An inspiring person is one who tends to surprise you time and time again. Your looks are not what I expected you to be at all Trouserpress!! (To be honest I expected a short-haired casual-dressing man. Think Hallenstiens.)

I have long-ish dark hair, dark eyes and stubble.

I absolutely love unusual and original clothes, and my wardrobe includes
suits of every colour you can imagine (red, pink, white, lilac, green,
electric blue, etc.).

At the last election, I wore a silver suit with a map of Paris printed on it to
the polling station, which elicited a few comments from my constituents.

I also once disconcerted William Hague by turning up to a meeting with
him wearing a white jacket with giant multicoloured flowers on it.
