I'm ripping off the ALA - a meme so much better than Tavis Smiley's.

My Recommendations.

Animal
Sea turtles and labs.
They have gentle souls and perma-grins.

Artist
Imogene Cunningham.
A girl from Portland with an incredible name & photography to match.

Book
Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley.
I never thought I would like it. I loved it and I was frightened by it (three times).

Cuisine
Breakfast foods. Especially coffee and donuts.

Destination
Lately, the American South.

Event
Election Day, 2008.

Game
Yahtzee. A mean game of Yahtzee.
And Pac-10 football games.

Hero
Kind strangers.

Magazine
Vogue
Harper's Bazaar
Real Simple
Organic Style

Movie
Virgin Suicides.
Sofia Coppola is brilliant. And so is her cast. Hypnotic.

Music
Fiona Apple.
There is a part of me, I discovered lately, that is always living in 1997. For better or worse.

Myth
Our Lady of Guadalupe.

i love that your heroes are "kind strangers." sometimes they are so hard to come across and to find. that makes me sad. :(

"who's your hero?" has always been a difficult question for me to answer. this seems to be the best fit.

The Q said...

I came across this post trying to find the link to Steve's photos. Now I have a greater understanding of why we like to read up on one another. I would have answered many of those exactly as you did.

It could be the Negra Modelo, but it made me smile and feel a little warm and fuzzy.
