Too cool for subject

The Mighty Boosh are Vince Noir and Howard Moon - aka Noel Fielding and Julian Barrett - a comedy duo. If you wanna know more, follow the links in my response to young snycock, above. All the icons refer to the characters and lines from the show

Can you explain your default icon, woman in the woods.

I shall click on the links to expand my education.

Woman in the Woods is one of lit_gal's icon, and I didn't know it at the time, but it's from an illustration from the Silmarrion ( I probably didn't spell it right), the story of Tinnuvial (again with the spelling) and Beren One-Hand. She's an elvish princess (kind of) that everybody loves for her beautiful singing and dancing and personality. Beren is human and on the lam from big time bad guys, and tired and lost he stumbles on her dancing in the woods and falls in love with her. Much angst and heroing ensures before true love wins. But she becomes mortal and so dies, which makes her story bitter-sweet to the elves.

But, before I knew the history of the illustration, I picked it for my default because I like things that remind me to be joyful, and I am a woman who lives in the woods.
