Burroughs quote

And the sight which met my eyes was that of a slender, girlish figure, similar in every detail to the earthly women of my past life... Her face was oval and beautiful in the extreme, her every feature was finely chiseled and exquisite, her eyes large and lustrous and her head surmounted by a mass of coal black, waving hair, caught loosely into a strange yet becoming coiffure. Her skin was of a light reddish copper color, against which the crimson glow of her cheeks and the ruby of her beautifully molded lips shone with a strangely enhancing effect.
She was as destitute of clothes as the green Martians who accompanied her; indeed, save for her highly wrought ornaments she was entirely naked, nor could any apparel have enhanced the beauty of her perfect and symmetrical figure. -- E.R. Burroughs' description of Dejah

New Blog Devoted to Dejah Thoris

I've decided to start a Dejah Thoris Tribute Page, presenting the best images of the lovely Red Martian princess of the city of Helium. Here is a lovely image by Paul Renaud. He has many more images of her.

I love the notion of chains as clothing.
