FIGURE: Rubenesque.
STYLE: Clean lines, few frills.
CLOTHING: At work: long skirts with plain tops. Black and grey, in fabrics that don't need to be dry-cleaned or ironed. Weekends: blue jeans, t-shirts, sweaters. Solid colors; I get tired of patterns quickly and wind up not wearing stuff, so I tend just not to buy it in the first place. :-)
MUSIC: 80's-vintage pop, baby. :-) Also general rock (modern and classic), musicals, film scores, the occasional symphony or choral piece -- I tend to choose specific items, rather than genres.
MAKEUP: Rarely. On makeup occasions, hardly ever more than lipstick and eyeliner.
BODY ART: Three earrings in the left, two in the right, plus a hoop up in the cartilage on the right side. Small tattoo on right ankle -- Celtic knot.
