Pick your crush de la semaine:


Fanny, Fractal, Nixon, Reagan, Odette, and Chloe (with a twin cities admirer) at the Minneapolis autograph & book signing, Sunday, October 23, 2005. More photos (and links) below.


Here were my impressions from my anthropology field trip notebook...

Odette didn't leave any indelible impressions on me one way or the other. Maybe it was just that hat. She does make really cute faces, though!

Fanny & Chloe were lovely & mysterious & other-worldly, like a couple of UFO's made out of white chocolate.

Fractal radiates sweetness. She seemed so charmingly normal that she was almost out of place, like a bank branch manager from a parallel universe.

Nixon: By gawd, this woman has the most amazing PRESENCE about her! You’d swear she was generating her own weather system, small patches of etherea coalescing in her wake, clouds and sparkles of dew forming halos in the atmosphere about her... what a knockout impression she makes. The last time I saw a face like that, I was 12 inches from the solid gold mask of Tutankhamun at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago in 1974. She is THAT regal. (On the other hand, she does have this fucking drawer full of freeze-dried moles...)

Reagan... There are moments around this woman when you'd think some Japanese anime cartoon character had come to life - what a charming and unaffected little bird she is. No wonder everyone on this site claims to have a crush on her. I haven't seen her live on stage, but in person and in the tour-DVD interview, she really DOES seem like the girl you want baby-sitting your kids. As a photographer, I could spend hours just working headshots with those mystical timeless eyes and that wonderfully quirky smile. I'm sure if angels rode buses, they'd get up to give her their seat.
