This is how I picture Chai:
Like this?
you know, shewolf should talk....she's pretty puffy.
Nice to see some of Boom's pics posted already, I thought we'd have to wait longer.

OK, ya got me.....here's a picture of me at a book signing. I'm the author of "40 different ways to clean your hair without getting it wet"
Seriously - I love her books - I don't think realChai is as tall as The Sweet Potato Queen - but I worship the SPQ.

Oh my gosh NO Reyn!
I'm chubby and pale with freckles!
Another fantasy bites the dust, eh?

Aren't you in Boston? Haven't I invited you to a bunch of meetings?

Naw, I don't think so. You're much too modest. :wink:
I actually thought of the "Sweet Potatoe Queen" as well, when I pictured
Chai Tea (her books are hilarious).
So now it's more Maureen O'Hara?
Dang!!! Send pics!!! Tell tales!!! Dish the dirt!!!
O'Hara! Her image most closely resembles my image of Chai!
I've met Chai and her husband. They are wonderful, charming people, and I hope they won't be upset if I post the picture I took of them...
( whew )
Im glad to know I am not alone in the 'big hair' image..
HA!
actually, Reyn is the closest with his image..
Maureen O'Hara, a role model for me, no kidding.
Well, this is one meeting I would have really liked to have been a fly on the wall at, of three rambunctious dames, whatever their present body casings.
I know I'd like them in real life too.
actually we just sort of sat there and stared at each other.
if it weren't for mo's tooth falling out, we wouldn't have found a thing to say.
oh! I will say this...it was really cute...mo had to call his dad to tell him about the tooth, so boom dialed him up and gave the phone to mo....
mo had to go find a private corner to take his phone coversation. It was like "excuse me, I don't want to be rude and talk on the cell while you're visiting and drinking coffee."
jesus, that 5 year old had more common sense than many adults.
body casing...that sounds like a worm.
As before, still now,
I think that little guy is amazing.
Body cast my rocks in tube socks?
now THATS something i would pay to see..
I ask bemusedly, you ok'd the pre photoshop photos here, with trust?
I created a maelstrom a while ago about one picture of me, about in the seventh or eighth day of having my photo taken with a big lens, with an immediate snappy {that is, unedited} retort - and then underwent pages of hearing about how low my self esteem must be.
I was wrong in that I didn't object at the time, didn't clarify with the photographer, so I take the blame for the problem then, and the hurt. But I'll pipe up now to promote the asking.
The photographer, who we all know and I really like, reacted to shut off taking photos of a2kers and to send discs of the already photoed.
I see his point and can't say I wouldn't have reacted the same way.
Still, I think it's a loss.
I still think review is a courtesy, and perhaps a right.
I'm sure Georgia O'Keefe had some control.
Just sayin', there seems to be a friendly care here, which I appreciate.
We used to automatically do this in meetings. Lola, for example, asked all of us for ok for her closeups in San Francisco, with her trusty teeny weeny camera. Alas those photos are gone with the old gallery.
Having learned my lesson from embarassing Diane..
I wont post mine.
Share them privately?
Yeah.
