Check me out:
Before I show you my celeb look-alike for the day, let me just say that whenever I wear this robe, I have to giggle a little bit. You see, I had one of best/most sincere compliments of my life when my friend Jenni was here this summer. I came out of my room, wearing this robe, and she gasped and said that this was such a great color for me, that it made my eyes greeney-browny. (True story.) Now if only I could find more than a robe in this color - you know, a dress, or a top or something a little more suited to public wear - maybe I could find myself my very own Sir Percy Blakeney. I'm pretty sure that no man would be immune to my charms, my big hair and my greeney-browney eyes...
Behold, my celeb look-alike for the day (in my own - very wild - imagination, mind you):
Now, if I could get my crazy hair to be just a little bit bigger (it's lacking some size about the sides), maybe I could snag myself a seemingly foppish Englishman who spends his free time saving French nobles from the guillotine. (Also, he's a bit of a poet.)
Sir Percy Blakeney. Be still, my beating heart.
If you've never seen The Scarlet Pimpernel circa 1982, put it on your Netflix - STAT. You will not be disappointed. I promise.

Don't know if any Scarlet Pimpernel movie could beat the book in my mind. I just watched The Young Victoria and fell in love with the movie. I rarely watch a movie back to back, but I plan on watching it again tonight because it was so masterfully done. If you haven't seen it, I think you would love it.
Oh, and I saw your boyfriends on the Emmy's last night and thought of you.
Hum, my first thought was Anne Shirley in her giant hair years . . . you know, when she FINALLY gets around to kissing Gil.
Consider it on my netflix!!!
I was just listening to the scarlet Pimpernel music today. I love that book, musical, movie (all of it!!)! I think you are beautiful, and I hope you do find your elusive pimpernel. :)
OH! My favorite book and my one of the favorite movies. You do look like Jane Seymour in this picture. That's better than Ma Kettle!
Whit, I love the Anne Shirley big hair!
Awh, Whit... You made my day in a way that I can't even tell you. What I wouldn't give for a Gil of my very own. I heart Gilbert Blythe, for real!
That damned elusive pimpernel! :)
