Wel you said: "Who added Up For Grabs? Jess (OP, current sponsor), did you? It means that you no longer want to take care of it personally and want other people to do it. Seems strange since you recently posted on Ask the Tropers, asking tropers to add examples and hats. Up For Grabs is usually for tropes that got stuck here and and the OP might not be active on this wiki.

My experience from YKTTW: please be patient. I know tropers sometimes really want to see their ideas and "creations" on the wiki, but it's usually for a good cause to wait for more input.

Personally I feel this trope shapes up nicely and that it's tropeworthy.

But please consider that Personal Appearance Tropes very often plague this wiki because many people add irrelevant examples, and to be perfectly honest, sometimes the tropes were not defined carefully enough, and people just kept adding examples they thought were ok; because other examples were similarly poor.

For example Blue Eyes used to be just a list of blue-eyed characters and even blue-eyed Real Life people. That is a very common trait and in itself has no story-telling purpose (called People Sit On Chairs, PSOC, chairs, chairsy in YKTTW). It went through a clean-up thread and now we have tropes like Innocent Blue Eyes or Creepy Blue Eyes -- a trait with specific meaning. I think that's why people in YKTTW phase are very "tough" on new Personal Appearance Tropes.

I like the name as a counterpart trope to What Beautiful Eyes. Although some might scream snow-clones -- it's sometimes discourage to name tropes after other tropes because it can cause misuse.

I saw somebody added a tag for a better name. However, now it seems like all the tags that there are available were used, and mostly without comments why, so I'm not sure they are justified. That's very easy and not fair to the OP.

Some examples could use re-vamping. (Cece from New Girl is basically a Zero Context Example entry with a quote.)"

That's all what you said.
