So, you have blonde hair?

Well, since I am horrible at guessing games, then you should tell me what colour hair you have.

Dark, dark brown (almost back) hair (Curly is an understatement).

So your hair is the same color as mine. But mine is not curly, just a bit wavy... that probably has something to do with the length factor in my hair though...

After much thought and pondering, because I didn't have much to do with my time...
I have decided that Groin Redbeard looks like the Travelocity gnome. I am sticking with this picture until I have proof otherwise!

Surprisingly, I had much the same picture in my head. Great minds think alike?

lol... Or how about, Wight minds think alike? I don't know, I don't think that I have that much of a great mind... Maybe, People that have overactive imaginations think alike? But I was watching the TV the other day and there was this commercial that came on with the travelocity gnome falling off of a cliff, I thought "That's Groin!" which was probably a really bad thought... I hope I don't get killed for this...

EDIT: Actually, I was thinking about it and it seems that maybe I did picture Groin this way... he actually looks kind of like someone who goes to my school... *strokes non-existent beard*

This infamous friend of mine is convinced Shasta is a girl.
When I see this painting by Tamara de Lempicka, I always think of Brinn.

I just looked up the group. It says I need an invite. How exactly do I get invited to the group?

I believe you can request to be invited. Formendacil is the owner of the group so if not send him a PM

I've always pictured Morsul as be the tall, dark, and brooding type. And more than a little like his P&A character (yes, the legs too). Facebook has proven me wrong though. It thwarts imagination!

The thing about me imagining BDers is that I know how way too many of you look.
Usually, though, I imagine (or at least associate) Downers with their avvies. There are those that I've seen photos of, but I still picture them differently (bad habbit!). For example, I just can't see Nerwen without the fair hair of her Galadriel avatar. Lalwende is a cross between Bilbo and Irish (take what you will of it). Others I picture as they are in photos, but still that avvie association lingers there. For example, I always associate Pitch and Zil with blackand white, and Agan with orange/yellow. There are some that I don't know how they look at all. Mith and Lalaith look exactly like their avvies. Eonwe, despite his description of himself earlier in the thread, is pretty pale, possibly with glasses (but not always), pretty tall, thin, and either has a mop of very fair surly hair or very dark slick hair. I still can't decide on the hair - one day I imagine it one way, and another day it's the other...

Interesting, G55. For the record, I look exactly like my avatar.

The only two BDers (besides my sis, she doesn't count) that I can sort of picture are:
G55: I picture her, tallish, slim with a fairly-sized chest and hips, long wavy blonde hair, and confident but humble. Oddwen: Percy Weasley with Bill Weasley's personality.

http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpos...postcount=1539 Just wait until you start reading more into the history of Downer moots - you'll find a ton of pictures of all sorts of Downers... One person I forgot to mention is the Barrow Wight Himself. I see Mr. BWH as a person taller than average, very dark hair, and greyish-blueish eyes. Straight nose. He usually has a serious expression on his face.

Hmmm.... You're pretty, G55. Your hair is a little like my sister's, (but slightly tamer. ) Bit blurry, but nice nonetheless.
I don't really have any pictures of myself to post, just this group picture from my boyfriend's facebook. The one in the hat is my friend Nikki, to the right of her is my boyfriend Andrew, then it's me (cut off somewhat) and after me it's Nikki's little sister Annie. My hair is up in a headband and I look like hell, but I'm not very photogenic anyway. I literally JUST figured out that you can't see the licture in the link without being FB friends with Andrew. Sorry! If I get a different pic, I'll put it up.

Hey, Gal, I'm curious - you said somewhere that you didn't imagine me the way I look, what was your picture?
I'm not really a visual person myself, I don't think I've got actual people-representations on anyone I haven't met - as boring as that is.

Or do you mean the picture I had in my head? I thought you had hair like Agan's. Maybe because when you first joined and said that you were a friend of some Finnish Downers, I thought you were Annina: http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpos...&postcount=629 But then when Pitch asked you about it, you said you were someone else. The image stuck, though.

Funnily enough whenever people call littlemanpoet lmp I consistently misread it as Imp and sort of imagine him as a jovial leprechaun.

I actually did not realize that it says Lmp and not Imp until I put things together and understoon that lmp, Elempi, and littlemanpoet are actually the same person. Before that, I fully thought someone is being called an imp.

*coughs* I would like to say that I do believe I was one of the first to call littlemanpoet lmp, but I think he did me one better by turning it into elempi.

I usually tend to imagine people looking very similar to their avatars.
This is very interesting when it comes to people like Galadriel. Just so you know, I look almost identical to my avatar, but with a regal composure and menacing eyes. |

I'm glad to see this thread was upped! I've been meaning to go back to it myself to share some thoughts about newer downers but will have to save it till later - or, well, earlier is the right word here. Is it just me, or doesn't the photo page work? There's also a Barrow-Downs facebook group for those who are on facebook!

Haha, I'm too fresh a corpse to have seen those days. Nah, I was terribly excited when I discovered the photo page, and just as disappointed when I found out it's at least several years old. But the I met a BD-er thread has some regular updates on the looks of some people.

After we discovered the photo page doesn't work, Volo and I spent a good hour trying to fix it (digging Volo's account details up from the mathom house that's the internet, that is) and found all the old photos still safely tucked away in his hard drive. And man, are they cute! I'll make him do something about the page as long as we're still housemates.
Anyway - now that I found my way here I might as well share some impressions. I first thought Tar-Jêx was an American or German man in his mid-30s who was really into Númenor and enacted naval battles with miniatures. Now I know most of that is not true but I still think he likes Númenor and wargaming. Also he drinks hot chocolate in the evenings. His hair is light brown and long. Coppermirror is 19 and American and has reddish blond hair and glasses. She's too clever for school so she spends her classes making crossword puzzles at the back of the room. She rides a bike and likes to read letters by famous authors. Zigûr has dreadlocks and lots of tattoos and he rides a motorcycle. He's 30-40 and works in IT. He likes to drink beer and watch the sunset in beach boulevard pubs while rereading Sauron Defeated over and over. Galin is a lumberjack. He's secretly building his own personal Barad-dûr in his backyard. IxnaY AintsaY is a tall cold woman who wears her long black hair plaited. She lives in a tower somewhere north.
