Metaphorical beauty 5 options

As everyone else seems to point out, this is my first contest... woop!

Ok, so I love hidden meanings and suggested imagery, so basically this contest is aimed at that. I'm allowing pre-writes DO NOT make me regret that!! I will DQ anyone who has entered a pre-write that does not specifically fit to one of the options.

And the options are......

1. Pick one physical feature of the person you love most, and desribe it without actually telling me what it is. It can be their hair, their eyes, a scar, anything. Just be creative!

2. Use the line "It doesn't hurt when I unzip this skin" as a metaphore. Take it to represent whatever you like.

3. Use colours to paint me a picture of your mood. It could be bright and cheerful or dark and depressing, completely up to you.

4. Use todays headline and make a metaphorical poem out of it (please include headline in author's notes)

5. Write about an eating disorder as if they were a person. Include your relationship with this person and also how it all started.

And now for the dreaded rules...

1. No sticky caps PLEASE!
2. Include your name in authors box
3. Include option number
4. Play nice

Hints and tips
1. I love rhyme, but only do this if you're not going to use words like 'car' and 'far'.
2. Glitter is very welcome, as is swearing though I'm not a fan of it if it's needless. Any type really =]
3. Though it won't actually affect your chances of winning, I love getting comments, and it's nice and polite ^_^ *cough*

Good luck everyone!

***EDIT*** Just a note for option 3, many people are painting me pictures as it were, but with no colour mentioned what-so-ever. I'm not going to DQ the ones I've already had in due to the quality, but if you are going to use this option I really do want COLOUR =] Thankyou
