Blah! Nowhere near perfect*. Here's what she's missing and what'd she'd need adding and some of what needs taking away :

1: Glasses (because Dorothy Parker was wrong)
2: Too much makeup.
3: Too little clothing, and not enough hats. One hat would do, mind, something strange, possibly hand-knitted and woolen. And plenty of layers; you know a frock underneath a big jumper that ends in some flat (not heeled) boots
4: The most important: where's her Liseuse? I'm afraid I can no longer be attracted to women who don't own a liseuse.


*This opinion in no way reflects that of the vast majority of other men, or sane human beings for that matter. All opinions expressed here are born of Moejoe's twisted mind and should be taken as such. Attraction not guaranteed if you own a wooly hat, glasses and a liseuse. If you do not like this opinon, please ask for a refund. If a refund is unavailable, then a hug of some kind may be offered (also not a guarantee). If you are Dorothy Parker risen from the grave to prove a point about glasses and passes, Moejoe's real name is Dan Brown and he can be found somewhere in America.

Talks a lot doesn't she?
Presumably she doesn't mind if you're not really listening.

So, I don't have glasses, don't care for hats, and don't own a lisueasue.
But I don't like makeup, love to wear sweaters and can't even walk on heeled shoes. And I do own three ereaders....

well, on top of me discovering that even if you have the strange hand-knitted woolen hat and glasses, attraction *still* is not guaranteed (what more can anyone possibly ask for ???), this thread is just a heart-breaker all around, isn't it ? take comfort in the knowledge that at least for dorothy parker you can always just fire up the scanner...

It will have to be the scanner, damnit! And I've still got a backlog of stuff that I'm working on putting into digital. I mean, why are there no ebooks of Thomas Wolfe's work, or Charles Jackson's The Lost Weekend, or Banana Yoshimoto? Yet I can find countless, endless copies of Dan *he's not a real writer* Brown!!!

Back on topic But here's a piccie of one of my many crushes (yes I still have them, and I'm not giving them up, so boo to you!). Jennifer Jason Leigh (who by happenstance, played Dorothy Parker in the excellent Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle).

No hat, which is shame, but she's covering most of the rest of my wishlist



Maybe we should have another thread with 'piccies' of everybody's perfect mate (even those who aren't single, which would cause some fun 'discussions')
