Hey, pals, I know what Chloe looks like. When she's in white, she looks like an angel. When she's in a gown that's so full of beauty, she looks like a princess. Is that what I said? Tell me, if you think so. ;)

Really? I agree so. :)

I guess I've never really thought of her as either (not that I don't she's pretty, I just never pictured her that way), but it works.  ;D

Maybe, you can look harder to see what she looks like differently.

That's what we projected in that image. ;)

I absolutely agree with both impressions. Those are the same archetypes that Chloe embodies for me, especially in the two gowns that she wears in the Slane Castle concert.

Here is Chloe in white (the images are from a different forum):

The way that Chloe looks in this ethereal gown does seem to me to embody the very essence of how one envisions heavenly angels -- beautiful almost beyond human understanding; celestial, spiritual.

Then, when she is wearing the other dress in the New Journey performance -- the gold ballgown with the youthful ribbon -- Chloe very much creates the impression of a princess out of a fairy-tale. This is an equally extraordinary kind of beauty, but a more physical, more corporeal kind of beauty. Here, she represents the ultimate beauty of this world, as much as the angelic looks suggests the beauty of a transcendent realm beyond our own.

There is pretty, and there is beautiful -- and Chloe possesses the kind of superlative beauty that we usually only read about in poetry, and see depicted in paintings. It's extraordinary to see someone who possess such beauty in "real life."

*sigh* If only I wish I can meet her in a golden dress with a purple bow on it and say what she still looks like anyhow.

Oh, beauty! My eyes are starting to glitter gazing at her in spiritual looks. :)

I just got an idea from Celeste's reply. I think it belongs in a new thread, though...

Is that what you suppose? I guess that too. ::)

Speaking of it, in those close-ups, she often to me wears a headband that looks like a tiara on her head in a Celtic Woman New Journey tour.

I think Chloe is absolutely gorgeous.  I love how celebrities can be beautiful without being totally tiny and skinny (not that there's anything wrong with either).  Chloe is amazing. It's just really a great thing to show young people, especially girls.

Really...?! ;)

Think so. We all agree Chloe is full of beauty.

 ::)Yes - REALLY ;D

wow. her hair is really long.
haha just a random thought  :P :D

Chloe has a look of innocence and purity that I hope she never loses. It matches the pieces she sings perfectly. The world can have such a negative impact if you let it, and I pray that she will stay well grounded in her faith and in music of beauty and peace. What is inside clearly has a great effect on what we see and hear outside. She is lovely as are all the fine women of Celtic Woman.

Chloe looks good in anything.

I watched the Christmas DVD last night.  I was struck by how much Chloe has matured over the last two or three years.  She's always been a pretty girl, but she seems to grow more beautiful as she gets older.  When she smiles that wide, infectious smile, her youth and innocence seems to radiate from her.  But, when she's singing the more serious songs and her smile is tempered, she looks so much older.  I found myself thinking, "Wow!  That girl looks like a model.  She really is a beautiful girl."  I've not thought that before.

Looks aren't everything, and beauty fades eventually.  Chloe is equally as sweet as she is pretty, and that is the more important trait to have in life.  I hope she continues to keep her good-nature in this world.  It will serve her well.

Ennica,
I completely agree with you!  One of my "wow" moments on the CD was how much more mature Chloe looks.  I was a bit surprised as I had seen her live about 2 weeks before the DVD was filmed...I suppose it's easier to contrast and compare DVDs to DVDs.  Through most of the DVD I was still thinking about how much older she seems so suddenly...and then came "Let It Snow" and a big Chloe-skip!  I haven't had the fortune of meeting Chloe personally, but I just get the impression that she'll remain the good-natured, caring person we've come to know through her performances.

Chloe was and possibly still is a model. Maybe someone can clarify this for us.

She's been mentioned on at least one modeling site, but I don't think she is/was a model.

No, I don't think that she has modelled professionally -- yet. However, she is frequently enthused about in plus-size modelling circles, and the consensus in the full-figure fashion community is that she would be an ideal plus-size model, if she ever decided to add this to his list of activities.  :)

I've never gotten the whole plus size model thing. Yes, she's curvy. I think she looks like a normal, healthy, beautiful woman. I don't understand why that makes her, or anyone else "plus size".

It's just a fashion-industry label, to distinguish models with curvy, natural, gorgeous figures from the usual sort -- you know, the size-0 anorexics. It would be better to call the latter sort "minus size," really.

I've never minded the phrase "plus-size," because "plus" connotes advantage ("A+"), while the absence of plus connotes a disadvantage, a deficiency, something lacking.

Plus-size models are actually the most beautiful women in the world, because they have "model beautiful" faces, and yet they don't starve themselves into skeletons, the way the minus-size do, but have shapely, voluptuous figures. And, as fans of the full-figure fashion industry avow, Chloe could be the greatest of them all, if she wished to be.

Beautiful banner by the way, chickie.monkey.

I like the way you put that. Thank you for giving me a different perspective on it. I had never thought of it that way.

thanks, by the way :)
