The feature of Babs that stops people in their tracks are her intense blue eyes. People will remark on them anywhere. (It helps that our town is primarily latino, thus the blue is less common.) Part of the reason they stand out is her intense, slightly distrustful, stare of most people she doesn't know.
Today in church, a 10-year old boy was surprised by her eyes. "Does she wear colored contacts to get her eyes so blue?" Umm, no.
