Description exercise

OK gang, I would like you to share a list of word(s) to describe a person's hair and/or eyes. Pick one or the other or, if you're feeling ambitious, do both. Can't wait to read your lists in the posts. I'll start with a short one.
Eyes
Black as charcoal
Green with tiny specks of gold
Slanted
Almond shaped
Scrunched
As big as quarters
Blood shot
Caked with sleepy dirt
Closed
Swollen
Red

  1. some nice descriptions here.
    Hair:
    wild
    like straw poking out of a hat
    birds' nest
    springy curls
    careless ponytail
    like the fuzz on the chin of a moose

  2. eyes:
    dagger like
    glistening
    twinkling
    vacant
    dead

    hair:
    matted
    lice infested
    straggely
    fuzzy
    flakey
    receeding

    You can tell my mood today. :(

  3. Wow, some great descriptions here.
    Terry, I can picture a careless poneytail. Just sort of thrown together. And I have never seen a moose but the description of hair being like the fuzz on the chin of a moose paints a clear picture in my mind.
    And Sharon, your lice infested made me laugh out loud. Are you having a bad hair day?
    Seriously girls, this is a lot of fun. Great job! Thanks so much for sharing.
