Even at 6, I was a total ham for the camera.

Friends from the Library

Saturday morning I was walking the path beside the lake toward the library. I turned my head from the new little ducklings and noticed a pile of torn photographs. I have a deep love of pictures and was kinda upset to think that someone would rip up what appeared to be sweet family photos and throw them on the ground. So, like the nutcase that I am, I rescued the pictures, took them home, cleaned them up and taped them together. There is one woman that appeared in so many of the photographs and I wish to hell I knew who she was...

Skeet Ulrich

Last weekend my grandmother told me of a Hallmark Hall of Fame film called The Magic of Ordinary Days. Nana Irma raved about the performances and was particularly taken by Skeet Ulrich. She loaned me her DVD copy and I called her right after I finished it to discuss. I agreed with her that it was a truly sweet movie and I really did enjoy it. During our talk, Nana paid Mr. Ulrich a lovely compliment when she said, "He has the most expressive eyes. He conveys so much in a single look. I have never been so impressed with a young actor as I was with Skeet. He deserves more accolades."

Courtney Love

~by Kellee Dasaras

Back in '94 I was corresponding with Kellee, a young artist living in Edmonton Canada, who I had met thru Icon, the Madonna fan club. She and I were both crazy for Courtney Love at the time and Kellee was sweet enough to sketch this portrait for me and send it. To this day it remains framed in my bedroom. I think it's perfect.
