Hi Anna:
It was cool to see you on Red Eye last night / early morn.
Yeah, you have it right. You're at #2. I already made the
changes on the final draft of the Top 50 Hottest Women of
Everyday Media 2008 I've been tweaking until we're ready to go
live w/ all the other content for this e-book Everyday There's
Something on
mystrawhat.com.
When I first mentioned I was going to move you from #8 to #2 I
said I would explain later. Well, it really makes sense to me.
And, the more I learn about you, the more it makes sense and
feels right.
It also goes back to an earlier email I sent you where I made
some kind of comment like although you may not be on TV everyday
when I do see you on TV you are more of the intriguing type I
feel compelled to get to know rather than some of the
personalities on everyday like Soledad O'Brian.
Besides you are surely part of everyday media. Moreover, you are
part of everyday media in a real dynamic and engaging way which
is multi-faceted. This is really important to me. Being
multi-faceted is really important to me. I realized people like
Dostoevsky who held many different jobs and roles where more
brilliant as a writer than those who merely fancied themselves
as a writer because they were perched high in the ivory tower.
In short, the work of Dostoevsky and Kerouac and
Jack London who held many different jobs and roles and
writing being one of them but not their main gig for bread and
butter (until they were rich and famous from writing) were in
most cases more relevant, captivating and insightful. They were
able to take everyday life and romanticize it into pop art of
their time like
Andy Warhol visually did with his perception of Coca-Cola
bottles and Campbell Soup Cans.
It's the way one perceives things and perceives the world as to
what makes them a special artist or not. Someone can be a well
published and exposed writer and make a great living from
writing and really suck where someonelse may struggle to be
published and recognized and have to support themselves in other
ways and yet transcend the work of what's made readily available
to the public.
In similar discourse, you can say the same thing about any of
the arts actually: music, acting, film making, painting, TV
personality, etc.
However, another reason why I have you at #2 is because I
defintely do think you are hot = really hot = A+++.
When I've watched back the footage I captured of you on camera
w/ Evan,
Hollywood Emmy Guy, you translate so beautifully through
the lens and onto the screen. It's amazing. In person you're no
less than radiant and exude such an awesome, uplifting energy
that's magnetic. I wanted to capture these beatiful angles of
you and I did. I captured you as I was perceiving you.
So, that, as well as what I already written for you and because
you are on TV, radio, in print and on the internet, well, you
are easily the right person for #2 in my listing of the Top 50
Hottest Women of Everyday Media.
Oh, and you're hair looked ravishing last night on Red Eye.
