OK, friday, now what do you have as an avatar?!

Why, it's Dagny Taggart, of course!!

I saw this drawing in a YouTube video and it haunted me until I tracked it down.  I think it captures her almost perfectly (although her legs seem a bit chunky considering she's supposed to have great legs).

My avatar is the cropped head of a Phoenix drawing.  I chose it for the symbology of trial and tribulation leading to change and a new start.  Basically my move to NH and new life.

Looks like a real pale woman playing chicken with a train to me.

I thought it was  'Mona Lisa', leisurely, committing  suicide.  Dagny would be too smart to play on the tracks.

Dagny has no tan; she's a workaholic.  She's obviously not playing chicken with the train, because she has her back to it.  Perhaps it's the John Galt Line on the day of its first run; she did walk the tracks that day.  Dagny does not "play" on the tracks; she analyzes them with her keen analytical mind, performing instantaneous cost-benefit analyses, labor distribution and project planning. 

I'll bet you guys are real grateful having me around to provide Cliff Notes and art interpretation.  :blah_by_sarrlas_emotes:

That is how I picture her too .... she spends way too much time in an office in NYC

I was thinking about the tan thing.  For the most part, the story has a 'black and white' feel to it. One doesn't sense any 'color' until we are in Galt's Gulch.  If they ever make the Damn film ( we will be disappointed with it), they should make it in B&W and go to color in the Gulch, ala The Wizard Of Oz.

the film could be ok
I have liked some books made films lately.

good idea about the color

A bargin bin web cam, four years ago. ;D

It broke three years, eight months, and uhh, some number of days ago. I need another one, with piercings in place, a good shot of the ama-gi tat on my neck, and my sweet "skunkhawk." A skunkhawk being your average mohawk, but with the top bleached and toner-dyed virgin snow, with the sides done in black #10.

Does your mother know you do your hair like that?!?! :o ;D
