Trek and I run the do_me_curvo one, but perhaps we can poke around in the Turko comm :)
I did do such a 'study' for someone I dunno, two years ago. I don't know whether it was Marta or someone else, but this person got feedback that Frodo was described as fair, therefore he was blonde. Might have been MW, come to think of it. So that is why I grabbed the book and lifted out all occurances of fair. What I found that if someone was blonde (like Glorfindel, Eowyn, Eomer and Galadriel, the haircolour is was explicitely mentioned), but when they were darkhaired described (Arwen, Boromir, Frodo for example) fair was used to described them sans mentioning of hair colour. I am not sure if I saved my findings.
