This was probably how Wes pictured her.
Jane knew she wasn’t she shapeliest woman around; she usually didn’t wear much makeup because she felt she had plenty of contrast to her face. Her hair was black, chin length, mostly straight with a little curl inward at the ends. She had long bangs and square black glasses and had thought about growing her hair longer and getting contacts to improve her appearance, but it had seemed like too much trouble. She dressed, well, casually; while she wore dark slacks and a blouse on this job, off work she tended toward jeans and T-shirts or sweat-shirts, worn loosely enough to cover up her less-than-stunning shape. All that added up to an average appearance at best, and had at least something to do with why she was still single with no real prospects in sight.

I respectively disagree with you. When I read this book a while back, I told Wes that Jane reminded me a lot of Jackie Archer in the first chapter of Rocinante. The hair style is similar to Nanci Chladek's in chapter one of Down by the Riverside.
He figured there was a good chance of a little necking, and perhaps eventually more. A girl like Jackie didn’t get many chances at romance. In addition to her height, which he knew put off a lot of guys, she kept herself rather plain. She could be pretty, he thought, if she’d let her cropped brown hair grow and maybe get rid of those ugly, black-framed glasses – and if she’d let herself be pretty.

Boyd, this was a quote taken from the book as Wes wrote it.
My apologies for not using a reference or quotation marks.

I knew it was a quote from Plain Jane. Mine was a quote from Rocinante.

I played around with Photoshop last night and added a pair of glasses to the Jane pic, and made her hair much darker.
I sent a copy off to the main address, but I don't know if anyone has seen it as I haven't received a reply yet.
