Of a strikingly attractive appearance.
See that "attractive" word...mmmm
Anyway, hope you see this comment. I like your blog except it's rare that you comment back so I believe that could make some people reluctant to post. What was your intention? Do you want comments or do you prefer not to get them? or, do you like getting them so you can do posts in response? If you have time, could you comment on this so your intention is clear. That way, I know whether to waste time commenting or not. Thanks for your work on the blog.
