I've been asked to clarify the difference between "cute" and "beautiful."

"Cute", in my informal lexicon, means having a girlish appearance and/or
personality [the two tend to occur together -- e.g. Boy George :-)].
(Sorry, I don't want to take the time to figure out a "gag" symbol in
punctuation.)  "Beautiful" means having an appearance (especially the hair)
suggesting a richness and deepness; the correlation between appearance and
the actual person inside is less than in the "cute" case.

A shorter way of putting it:  "Cute" = girl; "beautiful" = woman.
