We've had a lot of requests for Tinkerbell lately. It seems that quite a few
fairy-like figures were posted a while back as part of a collection of female
nudes; some of those might fit the bill, if anyone's got 'em and can repost
'em. Meanwhile, I've tried to do Tinkerbell. I would give *anything* to be able
to capture her pose at the end of the Wonderful World of Disney opening
sequence, where she angles her body just so and sets everything ablaze with a
final touch of her wand. Doesn't look like I'll do it this time around, though.

First effort (8 lines; done on a CRT screen):

        /\ /\.-. .
       |  `  ` ' .`. | /
        \  `/ >>-' -`* -
        /  ,\ '    / | \
        `-'`.~`.
             > ,`.
            /.' `.
            `-    ~

Second session (5 lines; results are passable on some LCDs, NG on CRTs):

      .|.         .|.         .|.          .|.
     - * -       - * -       - * -        - * -
  (\o /|`     (\o /|`     (\o /|`     (\o ,/|`
  (VXV        (VX~        (~X~        (<X~
   /|          /|          /|          /|

Latest (8 lines; can't say I'm too displeased with it):

        /\\ ,;%,
       |  `.;' }
        \ ~\/`>~~~^\
        /  , (      `\ |.'
        `-'/__\     -- * --
            \ \      .'|`.
              \`
               ;`_

How's about a diddle or two?
