That would be a Galtic Elf.

I've seen one or two elf-girls before. A fine phenotype to be sure. I would look like the male morph if I were significantly less robust.
Posted by: keil | March 7, 2007 9:51 PM
do you have elvish blood? or is it simply a phenotypic similarity?
Posted by: razib | March 7, 2007 10:04 PM
Yep, some Vanyar ancestry back there somewhere ;)
Elvish, or Elves, as opposed to Elfs implies Tolkien IIRC.

are you high?

I suggest this might be a Williams' Syndrome sufferer.

^^^Hmm
Seems possible I guess.

I was surprised as well. In her previous diavlog with Henry Farrell she looked much better, possibly due to her hair covering her ears.

I was having a bad everything day. They happen sometimes when you have too much copy due.

sir,
if i may say so that was a most ungentlemanly observation. civility and grace demands that you apologize for your unchivalrous words!
yours truly,

Chet, I'm not an etiquette expert, but I think comparing a person to themselves is considered acceptable. Otherwise women would not ask "How does this look?", after a hair-cut or when trying on an item clothing.
On the other hand, you have offended my honor and I demand satisfaction. Pistols at dawn!
