Avatar of the Week: francesca

Welcome to Avatar of the Week: The Fraulein Collection. Forbidden Love has me jonesing for all things German, so I thought I'd sift through the avatar lists and find some interesting female members from the Deutschland. Here's who I came up with...


First up is Lily of the Valley. Her "chicken wanted" avatar pic caught my eye, and even though she doesn't give much away in her profile, I read through her recent comments and appreciated her encyclopedic knowledge of both the Russell T. Davies and Joss Whedon omniverses.

I also noticed we both like Russel Tovey. As she put it, "I have a thing for flappy ears."


Second up is Fleur-de-Lys, a 21-year-old bisexual, German Torchwood fan. I wish I knew a bit more about her because I love her avatar pic: The rakish cap, cravat, and three piece suit tell you this is one fraulein who means business – sorta like the Cate Blanchett character in the new Indiana Jones movie. But the way Fleur peeks out from behind the fall of her flowing locks adds an air mystery. Is she pretty? Is she plain? It’s Annie Hall meets “Thing” from the Addams Family.


This week's winner: francesca. Her avatar pic is of Michael Weatherly from NCIS. I'm guessing she must be a fan, but me I've never gotten that show's popularity. I mean a Navy crime procedural? What's next, Coast Guard Forensics? But Francie takes the prize for her incredibly charming bio:

"Brought up by a father who borrowed my mascara in front of my friends, dated construction workers and taught me the wise words that "Being bi can never be wrong and is crisis-proof". My mum is the token straight person in her circle of friends... Naturally, I became a fag hag and my brother homophobic."

So congrats to runners up Lily of the Valley & Fleur-de-Lys, and a special "heil fraulein" to francesca and her entire eclectic family.
