But it's m pretty darned pale and I look like wretched ghost version on myself. Like bride of Frankenstein blonde hair. It stands straight I keep it wrapped in a bun though. My friend recently had a horrible experience and she said she looked in the mirror and her face looked haunted, and I relate very much to that. Mine too and I try to avoid looking at it right now but it I put on a little makeup which I've done a couple times recently I can make it look better. I just hate looking in the mirror.

Sorry to go on and on, I just felt a connection to that poem and I'm guessing perhaps you do too.

Thanks Elsa. I wish I could claim these beautiful lyrics bur they are from the song "A Whiter Shade of Pale" which is by Procol Harum, a group from the 60's. It is such a beautiful song though.



Sometimes that haunted look can be be a beautiful look though and I see beauty in you. If you look as beautiful outside (which really is irrelevant...I think Janis Joplin was quite a beauty despite her being less attractive than most famous artists) as you do inside, than I'm sure people are blown away!
