ham and cheese on wry

wanna see what i look like?

Oddly enough, just as I was comparing myself to Garbo (scroll down), the fabulous Jake was likening me to another star of yesteryear -- Mary Astor of The Maltese Falcon fame. I've gotten Winona Ryder and Helena Bonham Carter in the past but this is a first. I wasn't too sure if I looked like the other two but I'm in agreement with Jake this time. I think I like this business of resembling a starlet from the Golden Age of film as opposed to looking like a notorious shoplifter or a homewrecker. That's right, Helena, I'm talking about you. I do believe both Emma Thompson and Lisa Marie have a bone to pick with you.

Someone once told me that I was the vocal twin of Helen Gurley Brown. Um, isn't she like ancient or whatever? I never heard her speak so I can't agree or disagree. I'm not sure if I should be pleased or offended. I know that she's older than dirt so I would imagine her voice has that old lady element to it. By that rationale, shouldn't I sound all shaky and scratchy and address everyone as "young man" and "young lady" while I suck on butterscotch candy? I don't even like butterscotch. If this was a high compliment I was paid, someone please let me know.

Random note post spell-check: The name Winona is not recognized by Blogger's dictionary. It flagged it and suggested "inane" instead. Indeed.
