About me: I collect books and plants. And blue glass bottles. And nail polish! My headlights are always on. I'm a francophile. I produce healthy robust manchildren. I wear comfortable shoes. My first and middle names together mean constant light. My pupils are naturally huge. I have bad posture and I can't sing.
My art and blog can be found here.
Who I'd like to meet: Any and all of the great artists.
"Asia Argento Helen Mirren Emily Watson Kate Winslet and I will jump on everyone's bandwagon to include Scarlett Johannson, just because I liked Matchpoint that much"
That's a pretty good list. If I had to list my top five favorite actresses (at the moment) they would be:
1. Patricia Neal (for Hud and Cookie's Fortune alone) 2. Giulietta Masina (La Strada, Nights of Cabiria, Juliet of the Spirits...) 3. Anne Bancroft (Mrs. Robinson, still smokin' after all these years; The Miracle Worker, command performance; The Elephant Man, perfection) 4. Gena Rowlands (Gloria, 1980, may be the single greatest performance ever given by an actress in a leading role) 5. Deborah Kerr (in Jack Clayton's The Innocents, Henry James couldn't have cast it better himself)
and let's not forget:
Liv Ullmann, Meryl Streep, Samantha Morton, Isabelle Adjani, Marsha Mason, Ellen Burstyn, Geraldine Page, Ingrid Bergman, Glenda Jackson, Faye Dunaway, Joanne Woodward, Maggie Smith, Vanessa Redgrave, Julie Christie, Jane Fonda, Audrey Hepburn, Simone Signoret, Sophia Loren, Bette Davis , Rosalind Russell, Anna Magnani, Jennifer Jones, Susan Hayward, Jane Wyman, Dorothy Dandridge, Grace Kelly, Ava Gardner, Leslie Caron, Judy Davis, Olivia de Havilland, Joan Crawford, Barbara Stanwyck, Greer Garson, Catherine Deneuve, Ruth Gordon, Joan Fontaine, Carole Lombard, Irene Dunne and Greta Garbo just to name a few.

I saw a video clip on your other page recently that was titled "best dance clip ever"...I beg to differ as I sincerely believe this to be not only the greatest dance scene ever from a movie, but maybe just the greatest scene ever. So here goes:
OH SHIT!!!! Thanks for the friend request, Connie! How the hell have you been? How's Andy? As you probably have seen, I'm doing a lot more flyers these days.
