celebrity crushes...

i don't know about limiting myself to any number of crushes, but i'm going to roll with this one. i'm "overdue" by some standards, but what the hey... i've been enjoying just staying in bed this morning, websurfing, drinking coffee, & the like... haven't done that like today in a good long while.

anyways, i've also been really busy, of late. & it's only gonna get worse, unfortunately. so i'm really, really savoring my morning!

anyways, i guess i'm supposed to "post my top 10 fantasy guys/girls" with photos of each. and then tag a bunch of other buzznetters? (etcetera...)

as mnone says, "celebrities generally suck and even the ones i find genuinely attractive come across as having abysmal personalities."

in my case, i'm not sure about that latter point, but in regards to this whole exercise, i do want to share these lines from the song, "thumb cinema," by world/inferno friendship society:

"Every commercial makes us die
A little bit,
Every pop star makes us doubt
A little bit.
Every new car makes us choke
On how little air we get,
And how we get it.

The celebrity makes us filthy
A little bit
Every single ad makes us gag
A little bit
Every photograph makes us age
Each sound bite deafens
Each sales event condemns..."

consider that a bit of a cleansing gesture for me. this sorta thing always makes me feel... dirty? sorta superficial, at the very least. &, yet, i can't keep myself from floating along with the tide... like mnone, i think i'll also eventually post a list of "people i'd like to meet or hang out with," too.

ok. my celebrity crushes, in no particular order.

a) asia argento.

from italy. she has a super-talented, iconoclastic, horror-movie-producing, auteur director father. mother was an actor, too. she's a total eccentric, in a really good way, i think. got my attention by appearing nude, pregnant, & smoking a cigarette, in a bubblebath, in some hipster magazine's photoshoot. she has a really crazy angel tattooed on her pelvis. she's directed a couple of films (including the jumbled & silly but visually-striking softcore feature, scarlet diva, which i've actually seen). i was totally sold on her after her strong performance in the major-studio zombie flick, george a. romero's land of the dead. seems a true badass...

 


b) 2 hot, revolutionary bass/guitar-playing mod women: michelle mae (the make-up & weird war)



& the swedish sara almgren (the [international] noise conspiracy &, currently, in the vicious).



that's right: pretty. mod. politicized. musicians. need i say any more?  (sooooo dreamy...siiiiggghhhh...)

c) christian bale, ewan mcgregor, jonathan rhys meyers in todd haynes' velvet goldmine.



(pictured, l-r: haynes, meyers, mcgregor, &, i think, eddie izzard)

make of this what you will. velvet goldmine is arguably my favorite movie of all time. & to quote 2 characters in wes anderson's the life aquatic with steve zissou:

alistair hennessey (jeff goldblum): "i have an excuse, i'm part gay."
steve zissou (bill murray): "supposedly, we all are."

d) that said, it's their co-star, toni colette, who i'd really like to go on a date with.



e) los angeles musician carla bozulich.



f) author & radical international activist arundhati roy.




she's amazing. seriously so. so strong, centered, eloquent. & i'll let the photo speak for itself.

g) kathleen hannah (bikini kill, julie ruin, le tigre).



she kicks it.

h) nina hartley.


i believe that paxgitmo once commented that porn-star & sex-educator nina hartley could be seen as the equivalent of an ancient "temple courtesan." take that however you might...

i) julie christie.




have met her. love her. have a hunch that she'll be up for another "best actress" oscar, for sarah polley's "away from her." that is so cool.

i've always admired the activist-oriented actor/director polley too. and she also has a zombie movie under her belt. so add her to the list (j)...



k) maggie gyllenhaal.

she had me with the line, "satan says you need more color," in cecil b. demented.



& i've still yet to see secretary!  :P''




l) oh my, i guess i'm just about done!

actor & chinese pop singer faye wong. ever since i saw wong kar-wai's chungking express... she's the sorta girl you just wanna snuggle with...








m) all the funny hottties! (probably my most "realistic" crushes!  ;)

kerri kenney-silver (the state, reno 911!, viva variety)



janeane garofalo



amy poehler (of upright citizens brigade, wet hot american summer, & saturday night live - pictured with janeane [far left], & the very talented tina fey [middle])



& the humor queen from my adolescence, sctv's catherine o'hara.



ok: more amy poehler...




so... that's all. how's that for compulsively thorough?!

n) awwww... sheeeit... just one more.

catherine keener.  ever since living in oblivion.



ttfn!



freaky the fanboy.

weekend report

i had a great time last night in los angeles hanging with sonyargazza at her l.a. going-away party -- @ a place called "the mandrake"* no less! -- and managed to find some time to visit with desiree the dvl too.

it was well worth the drive to & from los angeles. on top of all the obvious bonuses to the evening, sonya's collection of friends were all super-nice & cool to boot!

i'm really glad that she
