How much detail do you like about character descriptions?

Do you prefer having every detail described from clothes to hair style or do you like to have things left to your imagination?

Personally I get bored when every story begins with a paragraph stating "she was 5"2 with medium length auburn hair and a mole above her left eye." I want to scream, just get to the story! I also often like to implant mental images of people I know into the stories so less detail isn't an issue for me.

How do other's feel?
