Mike,

Thanks for that hair raising compliment.

About the eye lashes, if you will notice in this photo, the lashes are clearly very dark. Ok, that was a cheap trick and I'm sorry. I've been trying to work this photo in for the past $% years.

When you do it in b&w there's only a couple of ways you can mess up. It's either too light or too dark. I guess I can't use the high beam excuse on those dark lashes.

I really enjoyed the simplicity of just the two colors (non colors).
