Why does every article anyone ever writes about Bjork make some reference to her being 'pixie-like?' For starters, no one has ever seen a real pixie (other than the Pixies, image of one I provide below for reference). I think the whole pixie concept is more wrapped up in Bjork's visage than it is in any pixie consensus. Also, doesn't the term 'pixie-like' suggest youthfulness? Bjork is no hag, but she is getting up there. Is there a more appropriate mythological reference for an old pixie?

Is there some lore which says that pixies have unusually thick, sickle-shaped eyebrows? If so, I can understand all the references.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

I tried to find an image of her looking plain. She does a pretty good job of directing her public persona. Usually she looks more like this:
Maybe 'pixie-like' is lingo-washing for 'appeals to one's inner pedophile.' Doesn't 'pixie' connote child-like youthfulness? Of course it wouldn't fly to say that Bjork looks like a sexy prepubescent girl, ergo 'pixie-like.'
Maybe her nose is pixie-like. It isn't a terribly human-like nose.

Well, there goes the "sickle-shaped eyebrows" theory. The "unusually-thick eyebrows" theory is looking pretty good, though.Last edited by Donuthole; 12-23-2008, 03:00 PM.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
