Women, do you have a “librarian look” that you can adopt by pulling your hair back, wearing glasses, and dressing demurely? ~

    My hair is quite short.  I can't pull it back or anywhere else.

    But of course, every woman has many different looks.

    Did until recently.
    Had chest-length, straight, brown hair.
    A few strands of grey grow near my temples.
    Used to wear it straight back in a high ponytail, plait or bun.

    In January, I sat a 10-day meditation retreat.
    So I wouldn't have to waste time combing out tangles,
    I chopped it off to one inch all over.
    Suddenly my head was lighter and more comfortable.
    I've decided to stick with this new style.

    I do wear glasses, very large, with transparent frames.
    Eyes grey.
    Skin would be white if I lived in England, but here it's honey-coloured,
    with plenty of wrinkles and sags.

    My clothing has always been comfortable and self-covering -
    natural fabrics and mostly plain colours.
    Rarely wear things bright or patterned unless it's a festive occasion.
    Flat shoes, no make up. 

    I fit in very well in libraries.

    How do you look?

    You forgot to say what color were your socks.

    I get it.
    It's a boring answer.

    Imagine them mismatched with bright polka dots.

    Not boring - just overly wordy.  That's the beauty of Twitter - 140 characters.

    Your friend Trump agrees with you.

    The problem with Trump is that he does 140 and then another 140 and then another ...

      I didn’t find it either boring or overly worded at all. It’s a Bookworm par-for-the-course answer.

    My hair is always pulled back and clipped...no bangs, curls, or swoops.  Boring, simple, easy.

      So you’re one third of the way there, right?  (Pant, pant.)

    First I would have to have hair, no problem there are always wigs

    Wearing glasses no problem

    It is that demure look which would cause the problem - sorry

      For some strange reason, I always thought you were a dude, not a woman.
