Last year I was having a conversation with a couple of friends, Colleen Rusholme and Kim Stockwood. The name of a woman we worked with came up in conversation and I just happened to say...as a throw away line..."she has great eyes". They looked at each other then looked at me like I was from a parallel universe. They said it was strange because most guys would say....she had great hooters or she had a great butt. Well maybe she did but for me her eyes were her most outstanding feature.
They say the eyes are the window to the soul. That could be right...if you believe we have soul. I'm not sure about that but I do know the eyes can tell you a lot about what's going on inside another person. Not long ago I was having a conversation with a friend telling them, what I tought, sounded like a sob story. I thought about it on the way home...emailed them and said sorry if what I told you sounded like a load of b-s. They told me, no, they didn't think that at all because they could see the sadness in my eyes. Very perceptive.
The first thing I notice about someone (and with the exception of Johnny Depp who I have a man cursh on we're talking about women here) are the eyes and the hair. I knew a woman who went from a size 12 to a size 6 in a year. When I saw her she said,,"what do you think?" I didn't know what she was talking about because I was looking at her eyes. I had never notice her size 12 weight or her size 6 weight.
Eyes can tell you if a person is happy...if they're sad...if they're interested in you...or if they're thinking...."damn I wish he'd shut up and leave". The problem I have with looking into someone's eyes is...what if I'm wrong? What if they're not thinking what I think they're thinking. You don't want to be presumtuos....but it makes for an interesting drive home.
A few years ago we were having dinner in an awesome small Italian restaraunt in NYC. At another table was a group of people and one of the ladies was the star actress from Law and Order SVU. All we could talk about after we left was how penetrating and alive her eyes were, which when I think about it now, it was a weird thing to say because this woman is stunningly attractive.
If you want an interesting experience seeing live Opera singing in a very close setting, and have a great dinner in NYC, check out Caffe Taci. The singers perform on Saturday nights, and are a mix of students and professionals. Very cool.

Great Link Jim, will be going to NYC this summer and putting my list of stuff to do together, always like the off beat stuff.
As for the eyes, does anyone remember the famous picture from the front of National Geographic about 20 years ago of a women from Afghanastan

the eyes just leapt out at me and have been the first ones that come to mind when this comes up in conversation, Even as this woman has aged the eyes have remained stunning.
I do too much overtime and get about 4 -5 hours sleep a night so if my eyes are the window to my soul, they are dark rimmed and bagged LOL.
