Do you believe in fairies?

The most infamous picture of fairies was proven to be a hoax, though some believe that the woman who recanted her story was bribed (we'll leave that for a conspiracy thread). If you believe in fairies, what do you think they are/look like?

I go on the record as saying, no I do not believe in fairies, but it would be cool if they existed.

Very cool. I like to imagine them as mischeivious little gnome faced brats that jump from flower to flower scaring the bugs away. I see Brian Froud artwork everywhere.

Good Lord, Koan, what do you think you're doing - did Tinkerbell never tell you, every time you say you dont believe in fairies, a fairy dies?

Come on, children, help get Tinkerbell back, clap and tell her you believe!

Dear oh dear.

Arthur Rackham was the illustrator who turned fairies from fey weird aspects of fiction into fey weird aspects of psychoanalysis. The fairy folk were never twee children with wings until he started to make a living with them.

Tam Lin is the man to ask about fairies. He got away, but he had to run fast.

Oh - and what do they look like? There's a photo of Ian Anderson kitted out like a fairy on Jethro Tull's "Broadsword and the Beast" CD cover. That's what fairies look like.

Announcer: And now, the men of the Second Armored Division with their famous close order swanning about.
Sergeant: Squad... Camp it up!
Soldiers: Ooh get her! Whoops, I've got your number ducky, you couldn't afford me dear, two three. I'll scratch your eyes out! Don't come the Brigadier bit with us dear, we all know where you've been, you military fairy. Two, three, one, two, three, four, five, six. Whoops! Don't look now girls, the man has just minced in with that jolly colour Sergeant, two three. OOOOH!

i think they'd look like a tiny CeltWmn or the redhead with the baby in that photo thread. They just strike me as good and gentle and caregivers. perfect fit for fairies..
