Blog 13: Description of a person
She has short brown hair. She has a shaggy bob hair cut. Her hair is full of volume is brown. The tips of her hair are curled in.She has hazel contacts and tanned skin. She stands at about 5’2. She has a thin frame. She has long legs and sort of wide hips. Her body reminds me of the singer Beyonce. She has black eyeliner and mascara on . She also has clear lipgloss on her lips.
The last time I saw her, she was wearing tight black stretchy jeans. She had on pointed leather boots that were about two inches high. Her black leather boots had three gold buckles on the side. She had a black leather jacket on.
It was a short hacket that had a length which didn't pass her hips. The jacket was a "bomber style" jacket, the kind that has stretchy material that hugs the waist. The kind of jacket which has a collar that can be zipped all the way up, or folded down so that the flaps rest on the shoulders. The cuffs of her jacket were of the same material as the fabric that stretched to hug her waist.
She also had a black and red checkered scarf that she folded and tied around her neck. The scarf rested on her chest and was tucked in her jacket so that the only part of the scarf that could be seen formed a V shaped triangle.
She had dangling silver earings and wore rings on her pointer finger. Her jewelry was silver toned and had writings engraved in them. On her ring was an enscription about Faith. Her earrings were flat dangling metal pendants that had scriptures engraved on it.
She wore a big golden bag on her shoulder. It was a large hobo styled bag. It was big enough to almost fit a laptop in it. The bag had short straps so that the bag was directly underneath her armpit and dangled a few inches above her waist.

I'm pretty sure I've seen this girl ^_^ I don't know if you're describing someone you know or a stranger, but the first thing that hit me was the accessories. The bag, the specific style of jacket, the contacts, the mascara and liner...
I read an article semi-recently about the effect myspace and similar sites have on our perceptions of ourselves - the tendency to describe our identities in terms of what we consume is rising, or so the author says. I personally concur, but outside of that, I think it's a cool idea to play with, whether you buy it or not.
This young lady (or gender-bending young man...you never know!) seems like a collection of "things". Now, I know that this is sort of what the assignment called for, but I think you may be onto something here. Accessories and makeup and whatnot are never just items. How we mold our bodies says a lot about what we fear, what we desire, what we hope for.
Does this person dress like this all the time? Or was this a one-off? What details say the most - in your opinion - about her?
