Yep, I know who you mean and you're so right...Imposing is the correct word to
describe Izzy :) Even my 6 yr. old, who is NOT intimidated by ANYONE, took a
step back the first time she saw her in full regalia :)

Anybody on this list plays SCA in the East Kingdom? You know the... hmm...
she's probably duchess now... Isabella? Those who've met her will know what
I mean.
Very tall, and imposing in "normal" clothing. Even when she's not playing
SCA, she's probably the center of attention pretty often.
First time I saw her, she was in full Elizabethan. All white, with a
standing ruff and tons of pearls. Wow was she imposing. I took to moving
away every time she came near, she was that intimidating. And... well... the
clothing helps :-)
