Fashion Time + random rambles
Without further ado, here's the main attraction: ten fascinating facts about Barbara Walter's Most Fascinating Person of 2011
1. I am double jointed. So is my grandmother, but it freaks her out. Note: this is not a photograph of me or my grandmother. Neither of us can play the piano.
2. I am a member of a very eccentric family. We have the type of personalities and dynamics that would only be found on a prime time sitcom (or an E! reality show), in the best possible sense. I would be Kim, obvs.
3. During my brief stint modeling during the ages of 14-16, the agency photographer told me I looked like Christie Brinkley. I was incredibly flattered. Not that I actually knew who that was at the time, though. I have also been told I could be a foot model (And by non-foot fetishists, to boot!)
4. I love the smell of gasoline. No worries though, apparently so does Kate Moss.
5. It breaks my heart to eat anything remotely resembling an animal. I can barely bring myself to eat a bunny-shaped chocolate for Easter.Nor do I encourage the consumption of pug loaf. But this pup is too darn cute to not put up here
6. I think that tuberculosis is a very romantic disease. Like Greta Garbo in Camille and Nicole Kidman as Satine in Moulin Rouge. Minus the part where they both die in the end.
7. I have a not-so-secret desire to be a hip-hop wife. I want this to be my life. Just Kidding. Not Really.
8. I am the biggest wimp when it comes to wearing high heels. With the amount of complaining I do, you'd think that Kathy Bates had gone all Misery on my feet. 9. When I was much, much younger, I fell into a table that Sidney Poitier was sitting at, and proceeded to cry obnoxiously as Mr. Poitier tried to comfort me. This was at the Brown Derby Restaurant. (Did I mention that this happened in 1954?)
10. One day, I am going to live in Paris. In the forthcoming hours, I will include my list of bloggers I would love to nominate for the Creative Blogger Award (I know, you're all at the edge of your seats in anticipation)
* I am being entirely sarcastic in the first paragraphs. I love James Baldwin and I know he's not related to Alec. Just throwing that out there. *
