ADVANCED: Help to find query to get 2 row values as colums

I have big problems to find the right query to get the wanted result from a somewhat
advanced table structure. I am also not quite sure wether it's posssible at all
within current MySQL.

I have a table MEMBERS
I have a table PROPERTIES
I have a table POPERTYVALUES
I have a table PROFILES

There are 2 properties: haircolour and eyecolour stored in table PROPERTIES
Each property has different values stored in table POPERTYVALUES
Each member has 2 properties: haircolour and eyecolour stored in table PROFILES

So far so good... everything working fine

Now the problem: I need a query, that gives me ONE RECORDSET PER MEMBER, containing
all properties from the virtual profile



I HAVE:

table members
+-----------+-------------+
| member_id | member_name |
+-----------+-------------+
| 1 | Alice |
+-----------+-------------+
| 2 | Bob |
+-----------+-------------+

table properties
+-------------+---------------+
| property_id | property_name |
+-------------+---------------+
| 1 | haircolour |
+-------------+---------------+
| 2 | eyecolour |
+-------------+---------------+

table propertyvalues
+------------+-------------+--------------+
| propval_id | property_id | propval_name |
+------------+-------------+--------------+
| 1 | 1 | blonde |
+------------+-------------+--------------+
| 2 | 1 | red |
+------------+-------------+--------------+
| 3 | 1 | black |
+------------+-------------+--------------+
| 4 | 2 | brown |
+------------+-------------+--------------+
| 5 | 2 | blue |
+------------+-------------+--------------+
| 6 | 2 | green |
+------------+-------------+--------------+

profiles
+-------------+------------+
| member_id | propval_id |
+-------------+------------+
| 1 | 1 | => Alice has blonde hair
+-------------+------------+
| 1 | 5 | => Alice has blue eyes
+-------------+------------+
| 2 | 3 | => Bob has black hair
+-------------+------------+
| 2 | 6 | => Bob has green eyes
+-------------+------------+


I WANT:

+-----------+-------------+------------+-----------+
| member_id | member_name | haircolour | eyecolour |
+-----------+-------------+------------+-----------+
| 1 | Alice | blonde | blue |
+-----------+-------------+------------+-----------+
| 2 | Bob | black | green |
+--------- -+-------------+------------+-----------+


I suppose this is considered to be a very difficult and advanced query.
All combinations of UNION, JOIN and multiple subqueries didn't work.

Is there a MySQL expert who can help me, please?

Thanks in advance!

Kevin
