Pascale, i feel EXACTLY the same way!!! Well, except i think that ALL people's hands are like a book!!!! Seriously, show me your hands...there are sooooo many stories there. i can't say i have a hand fetish, 'cause that's not it. i mean, i just think hands are very much like eyes. you look into eyes and you can tell so much about a person. it's the same with their hands. Whenever i look at portraits, i want to see the hands there too. they're soooo important!!! hugz
