Thanx, littleguitar!
I'm gonna give this a try.  This is a test - if it works you'll see a picture of the inside of a horse stable.  I thought it could represent where Nellie saved Ennis from Worrell.  (Hey, I'm trying to stay on topic. LOL.)
Here goes:  *keeping fingers crossed*

This is getting a bit incestuous. Kirsten Dunst used to be Jake Gyllenhaal's girlfriend!

Just an aside. Last night I watched an episode of "Queer as Folk" on TV and was amazed at how explicit the sex scenes are. In one scene a couple were going at it hammer and tongs in the kitchen - plates and cutlery were crashing, the sink was creaking and the guy's head practically being pushed out the window! I now feel I have an in-depth appreciation of the power of Ennis' hip thrusts! LOL ;D ;D
LOLLOL!
 ;D  ;D  ;D

what wonderful pictures!  While I am still favoring the lighter-skinned Kirsten Dunst for Francine, you guys are the readers and you can do whatever you like.... you will anyway!

Today is going to be tough, since I am condemned to the test room to make a political statement to our customer that we developers are right in there shoveling with them, to help our future prospects here as external contractors, and we are wrestling with (fortunately not my) bugs.  So while I am ever-hopeful of getting new chapters done and keeping on the two chapter a day minimum, today is looking a little...

Francine does not look like Alma Jr. This is Louise's description of Francine:

Quote
The door opened, and Junior came in, followed by the just-as slender younger sister, eyes shining with that same molten brown intensity, dark blond curls forming a cap of hair around her pale face – a feminine copy of Ennis.

That's why I picked that pic of Kirsten Dunst. She kinda fits the description in that particular picture. But if you think the fact that she was Jake's girlfriend is a problem, here is Julia Stiles. I know she was with Heath in 10 things I Hate About You, but come on he is not playing Ennis in that movie.

I love that blond hair and brown eyes combination ... very alluring isnt it?

Maybe not - but at odd moments I could see Ennis shining through!

Err..Christie ..could you scan all the pics from that pressbook and post here?  :D
Ok..not all the pics, but a few..
Ok..even one would be fine ..;)

Hi Lucise.  I would be more than happy to scan and post the pics from the pressbook here, I just need to figure out how the scanner works.   ???

btw, I'm not sure I said this when I first registered - but I comment on Louise's lj and I'm poppyhoney over there.  Just so you know.  :)

Hi everyone

I've just registered here after catching up on Louise's amazing story.  It took me over a week of long, late nights but it was worth it.  :)

I just love this story so much, and I love Ellery.  He is such a wonderful character.  And yes, I think I have a crush on him too.  ;) 

I doubt I'll have chance to catch up on the thread though - I mean, 200+ pages is a lot of pages!!!    :o  But I hope to be here and join in with your chats over the latest chapters.  I am a member of ennisjack.com where there is a thread dedicated to the Laramie Saga and I tend to leave comments over there too.  Louise really does have a lot of fans all over the place!




I believe I haven't properly welcomed you. Welcome to Bettermost and to out little Laramie Saga community!  :D
