Hi everyone,
I have found a way to be a joiner! I am uncomfortable with the idea of posting actual photographs of myself, but more and more I see that I cannot participate properly without providing you all with visual references. You cannot give opinions about style, garments or body type if you cannot see the person. So next week, I am going to start posting pictures, in a manner of speaking. In anticipation of that, I have changed my display name, to reduce googlability. (My computer doesn't like that word, but I think it should definitely be added to the popular lexicon).
I'm leaving my cheerful jack-o-lantern avatar up, so you remember that it's me.
cheers
Elisabeth
ETA: incidentally, "Elisabeth" and "Aziraphale" have the same number of syllables and distribution of emphasis.
