: : : : : Ladies, prepare yourselves. 
: : : : : Anybody who's awaiting DDL's next turn on the screen in "Gangs of New York" next year should not be looking for Hawkie-Poo. Or Newland Archer. Or even MLF. 
: : : : : Nope, here's what we can look forward to, according to a message board posting I saw earlier today:
: : : : : US Magazine this week has an item called "My Left Eye"-- "Daniel Day-Lewis's new look might scare some of his female fans.
: : : : : The actor, who is just returning to the business after a four-year hiatus, might not be recognized in GANGS OF NEW YORK,
: : : : : now shooting in Rome. In the film, set in the nineteenth century, he plays Bill the Butcher, a glass-eyed gang leader, along side
: : : : : Leonardo DiCaprio. Day-Lewis recently visited celebrity opthalmologist Mitch Cassell in his New York office to be outfitted
: : : : : with a specially designed contact lens that bears the emblem of a bald eagle with a red, white and blue banner."

: : : : : 
: : : : : And you thought those scary contacts Michael Jackson wore in the "Thriller" video were bad....yee Gads....

: : : : : trembling in my three-inch platform boots, Christina

: : : : ~~~~~

: : : : Good grief! I wonder what Miss Marcia is going to make of this?
: : : : A contact lense with a bald eagle? Ok.....

: : : : ..Jeri

: : : From Hawkeye to Eagle Eye - the boy does diversify.  NightSky

: : Ha!  Good one Nightsky!
: : I just wonder WHY Hollywood feels compelled to come up with this crap?  Isn't the plot and the acting enough?  

: : Bill R

: Excellent poetics, Nightsky! 
: And Bill: a note. Actually Hollywood didn't come up with this one, believe it or not. In the original book, "Gangs of New York," written in 1920 something, they verify that Bill the Butcher (who was a real guy who worked for Boss Tweed and was head of the savage "Native Americans" street gang, did really have a glass eye with an American eagle in it! 
: Proving that weird fashion didn't begin with body piercing, I guess...
