Never noticed her eyes. In this vid, she is in the water mainly and you get lots of head shots;) Gorgeous hazel green! ;D But yes, she was well fit;) Careful though, Pingu wont want us talking about fitness of females;) She's an author now. Got lots of sleeper singles, but no albums, always wanted an album, they must be dead cheap now surely?

I love britpop! ;D I followed it as best I could over here in the states. I remember always browsing NME in my local bookstore and wondering if I'd dare try something new by a band I wasn't familiar with. Sometimes it worked out well like when I bought "Everything Must Go" by the Manics, and other times it went not so well like when I bought the Menswear (remember them?) album. Of couse I totally LOVED all the big name bands like Oasis, Pulp, Blur, Suede, Verve. But some of the less popular bands I'm not that familar with. Like I dont think I've ever heard anything by Sleeper. who else do they sound like?
