It can curly up easily or be straightened in a flash. With my blue eyes, round face and freckles, I have often been compared to the Campbell's soup kid!

I had to have stitches (they used navy thread, possibly because I fought like a wildcat and it took two nurses to hold me down) and now there's a small scar; not terribly noticeable unless you're the person kissing me but I like it. I like to think it means I'm spunky ;o) And, rabrab, my boyfriend has eyes like yours...sometimes they look blue with specks of hazel, sometimes light blue and sometimes a gorgeous sea-green colour. It depends on how the light hits them. They, too, never seem to be the same colour twice and I think that he has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen :o) When I was three I was spinning around our living room with wild abandon (as one does when one is three years old) and fell, splitting my lip on the leg of our settee.

I've always loved it. It's small, just under the skin (so there's no bump), and just below the corner of my right eye. People often think that I've poked myself with a pen... but it's completely natural, and rare. My dermatologist nearly peed herself when she saw it after I showed her the other blue mole I had on my arm (that I sadly had to have removed because of a questionable mole that was growing below it).

I'm on the petite side(although I do love blogs that promote a healthy body image!), so my ankle are very small and dainty and delicate. It's kind of like the silver lining to having short stubby legs. Usually the first thing people notice about me are my eyes, which are large and green(although they change colors to a watery grey or medium blue sometimes). I can't quite see in the mirror what is so special about them, but I thought it was worth mentioning as it is definitely my defining feature. I like my ankles.

I used to hate it and keep it as ASAP (as short as possible); then, three years ago, I decided to let it grow. Unfortunately, due to a miscommunication with my Russian hairdresser, it's a bit short at the moment. It's Posh Spice rather than Big Huge. But it'll grow.

They're shaped quite nicely... like creamy, feminine pillars of white chocolate. That's something I love about my skin generally. I'm very pale. I used to hate it because everyone I know tans nicely, including most of my family. But as time has gone on, I've started to love my skin.... I work hard to treat it really well, now, though I have a little but of sun damage left over from high school, when I thought being lobster red would be better than being ghostly white.

A dog bite when I was 4 required my entire upper lip to be stitched back together, and the scar tissue has given me a beautiful set of full lips that nobody else in my family has, with only a tiny scar people never notice until I point it out. My skin. I'm pale. Reallyreallyreally pale. And I freckle very easily. It took me longer to come to terms with being so ghostly, and turning into Pippi Longstocking after an hour in the sun, but while I can cover with spray tan and foundation if I want to (I don't), other people can't achieve on their own what I have naturally.

Now that I'm older, its not as startling but it is still a conversation starter. Love my hair. My cleft chin is another - its quite pronounced and gives me character. Its a reminder of my father, who had the same cleft. I’ve been greying since I was three, and its been my signature for years.

I have very wide feet with very round and short toes that really do look somewhat like little vienna sausages, and this is what they are always compared to when people comment on them. When I was a kid, I thought my feet were perfect, I would spend what seems like hours in the bath just admiring them. Then, at nineteen, I started dating my husband and he informed me that my feet were very odd and not in a good way. So, I spent some years thinking I must have been wrong my whole childhood about their unusual beauty. But now I'm back to my original belief. After consistently torturing my husband about his youthful insensitivity for many years, he spent quite a bit of time last night apologizing to my feet. I think they have forgiven him.
