STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

tara t · Marc Jacobs

what do you think other ST'ers look like?

Elle · Hermes

I like that alot of the most regular posters have posted pics of themselves at one point or another, so that helps!

TaraT - I picture you as a tall-ish blonde .

In my mind, Bumblebee has light brown hair and really cute glasses

I also picture Chic as a tan blonde

I picture Dizzy with a loose dark blonde topknot and glasses

Sheesh! Why do I think of everyone as a blonde?!

Halleybird, I actually (still) think of you as having light brown hair even though it looks blonde in your pics.

does 5'7 = tallish? yes i am blond :)

Why yes, I believe it does! Especially considering that I'm only 5'2

, so anything 5'5 or over seems 'tall' to me.

Karina · Chanel

tara, i picture you as a cool, cute, funky dressed brunette.

bumblebee · Coach

i've seen a pic of tara t, and she looks just like i figured she would--blonde, cute, tall. that doesn't happen very often!

i always pictured halleybird as a brunette, so of course i thought it couldn't possibly be her when i saw a threadstyle pic revealing her blonde hair!

i have blonde-ish hair, but i only wear my cute glasses to drive at night. i feel like i'm not a glasses person.

dizzy also seems to me to be a petite brunette, but i picture her with some kind of bobbed haircut...like a selma blair type, sort of.

theotherjess · Chanel

Elle- tan, dark hair, brown eyes

shopchicago- light brown hair, blue eyes, freckles

Hermoine- dark shiny hair with fair skin

Metric- fair coloring, light brown hair, blue eyes

gypsyfreak- wavy brown hair

I also imagine some people as their avatars. Like Dizzy is Kermit the Frog and Collette is a blond man .

Where do I get all these mental images from?

halleybird · Hermes

this is great. It's funny because even though I have seen some of you, I still have these pictures in my mind.

you, TaraT - blonde, tan, with great, strong facial bone structure. No idea where that comes from.

I will always think of Elle as Leah Remini. Always.

NylaBelle - she reminds me a lot of one of my former students (curly brownish/blond hair, tall) so I think of her.

theotherjess- dark, straight hair, really small/delicate features.

AndreaJulia - dark, straight hair; tallish

honey - petite, dark curly hair -- I think this comes from the Jessica Alba movie "Honey"

Dizzy- dark hair, sleek ponytail, glasses

nicoley13 - dark hair, very petite, very delicate features

shopchicago33- blondish brown wavy hair, big/pretty eyes.

I will always think of rosietheriveter as the actual Rosie the Riveter. And weirdly, I always think of Colette as that blond dude in her avatar, even though I know she is a very lovely girl.

tara t · Marc Jacobs

I will always think of Elle as Leah Remini. Always. me too.

i think FP and drew would look like twins.

maddie has red hair and always wears green or navy blue in my mind ?

karina i though she'd look like pretty close to how she does look.

bumblebee, you had brown hair and glasses in my mind, but you had the cool glasses on, like the ones that people who don't wear glasses say " heh, if i had to wear glasses, i hope i'd look like her"

laken 1 is the def. the fun girl. she's super cute and wears cute skirts all the time.

i've seen a pic of tara t, and she looks just like i figured she would--blonde, cute, tall. HEY, THANKS !

edited to add laken1 :)

i hope that all of these comments about me being a wearer-of-glasses mean that you girls think that i am very smart and intellectual.

That's it exactly . I picture you as a very with-it person who is smart as a whip and can debate any issue with anyone anytime. Like Jennifer Garner in Alias when she dons her 'intelligent sophisticate' disguise .

I think it's funny that you guys still think of me as Leah Remini - the resemblance really is uncanny IRL. Just with less makeup and I don't sound like I'm from Queens !

bumblebee · Coach

hee--i love it. thanks, elle. i wish i was a double-agent--that seems to be pretty much the best job ever.

I realized that most of the "mind pictures" I have of STers are derived from pictures they've posted. . . But I can totally imagine that you look like Renee Z, bumblebee!

I do, however, have ideas of what people's voices would sound like.

Do elaborate! This intrigues me...

Haha I'm so weird.

It's so hard to describe voices but I'll try a couple.

I think FashionPrincess has a soft voice with a slightly southern accent. But I think she grew up in Pennsylvania, so it's completely illogical.

Laken1 is kind of loud and has a hearty laugh.

I think of dc as kind of having a raspy-ish voice, but not rough or deep.

And aurora has my cousin's voice. I don't know why.

I tried to describe more but I really can't, I just hear the voices in my head. I'm such a freak.

Hehe, the voices, the voices in my head

Oh, and while I did grow up in Ohio (hey, it's next to Pennsylvania ), I do totally have a slight southern accent, but I wouldn't say I have a soft voice, not a loud voice either, maybe bubbly would be a good word. Think more Reese Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama-ish

yep. and you never spell anything incorrectly :)

ILoveChoo · Hermes

I definately have mental images of all of you.... the ones that come to mind:

colette is totally the guy her her avator. Only more feminine. Same with CarrieS

theotherjess is tallish, thin but muscular and has really long super straight brown hair.

halleybird has brown short hair and a small, pointy (bird-like?) nose (I promise its in a cute way- you don't have a beak!).

elle and karina look the same to me- both short, really thin, and with medium brown hair

laken1 looks kind of like one of my irl friends. Tall, muscular, bobbed red hair and totally the life of the party. always laughing.

bumblebee- I picture you with glasses too. You actually look like mesh of the girls from scooby-doo? lol!

Muscular? Ha! I can barely even open a bottle of coke. I always joke that I'm ripped though . But otherwise, you were spot-on!

KaffeeKlatsch · Marc Jacobs

Well I guess my icon gives me away a bit!

I always think of ST'ers in general as being way more glamorous and fabulous than everyone else on the street which is kind of why I think that if ever I passed one of you on the street I would know it right away. Crazy, right?
