Actually, that's not true, but I'm trying to avoid swearing, using words like "tea bagging" and just plain being rude all together on Ann's awesome blog. Yes, I said ANN'S Blog.

I noticed the photo of you and your husband and for that reason,looked at the accompanying slide show. You see, my sister is a big fan of Dennis Leary and she pointed him out to me years ago. She has a crazy sense of humor that I adore, so I know to take note if she recommends a wit. So, though I don't watch your husband's show, I am awate of him and have this crazy indirect interest in him. Also have a soft spot for redheads!! Now...when I looked at the slide show of the Time's story, I was knocked out by the photo of you and the gorgeous gray horse. It inspired me to want to send you the link of my pal, Frank Weller, who rescues foals and is always looking for good families to adopt his 'orphans'. There is a thriving Premarin business in Canada. Mares are impregnated for their urine which is used as an ingredient in this 'miracle-youth-drug'. The drug companies could care less about the foals, and destroy them or sell them as food to Japan. When I saw you in that lovely picture with the gray horse, there seemed to be such genuine affection, that I thought you might possibly have interest in adopting a foal. Frank's farm is in Connecticut. His website is:www.foalrescue.com his email is gettingthepicture@yahoo.com (he's also involved in film...working on a spaghetti western.) Now...since I work in the world of the 'creative image' (I'm a stylist for photographers, a historian, and manage my husband's backdrop business (brodersonbackdrops,com), I couldn't help but notice your blog 'header color' ! I have to agree with you about the 'nunnish-deathly' tone )are you, like myself, a victim of Catholic school?)!! Get rid of it! ASAP !!! It's funereal and morbid...does nothing for you. You want a lighter tone to bring you 'UP', to be kind to your skin tones. I can make many recommendations since color is my thing, and I'm also familiar with chromatherapy. Color is magic...you should use it as a benevolent tool. Just off the top of my head, I would consider a warm ochre with a touch of pumpkin and peach, OR...a warm amber with a hint of coral, OR green is universal for NEW LIFE, HOPE, and many such positive notions (think emeralds, dollars...good luck of the Irish), and, there's a plethora of different shades of green..same for blue, and, I love the reference to Paradise. While you're at it, I think your entire blog design needs an uplift. Its very hard and straight and cold. You want something more lyrical, more seductive...just a bit of arty details. Finally...you spoke of needing a new portrait. Now there I can really help you if you'd like. My passion is portraiture and it is my goal and desire to find the beauty and appeal in all. As a historian I have studied the history of portraiture in both paintings and photography. I understand how important the setting is in making the sitter feel first, comfortable, and second...inspired. Its why I work with backdrops, its also why I gather a team of hair and make-up artists and a brilliant photographer who also is a master re-toucher. You'll understand the importance of that when I tell you that my photographer works miracles on photo-shop by enhancing and deleting, the good and the bad bits. I also arrange wardrobe. In some cases my sitters have gorgeous clothes and really don't need me to dress them, however in other cases, I recommend accordingly. In your case, with your slim frame and classic beauty, and because you love horses, I would dress you in a shirt and coat by Maggie Norris Couture. Maggie was with Ralph Lauren for many years before going off on her own. She's also a devoted horse-person and many of her designs are equestrienne -derived. I would like to send you some images of my work with Maggie's clothes. Apologies for this lengthy missive...I will trust you to respond if you have any interest in any of what I had to say re. foals, color, portraiture, etc. best regards, Cynthia good luck in your writing, your blog, etc. I know you will respond to let me l Ann,

After watching Dennis on the Daily show, liked the fact he writes as well as acts. While my politics jibes with most Actors, I still find their pontificating on things they have little knowledge tedious. So it's nice when they are in intelligence. Usually a marriage includes partners that are equally intelligent. So congrates and keep writing. I ennjoy the work, and humor. Love the show.

You heart breaker you. hehe Alan, good job. I think you may have finally calmed the rowdy crew down. Hope so anyway. A little bit of fame went to the blogs head I guess. ;-) Or nerves about having a lot of new faces show up all at once among our happy little family here. The only thing I would have added was "Don't look at each other, don't talk to each other, and don't breathe on each other'. Comes from spending time with my friends and their kids.

Alan, good job. I think you may have finally calmed the rowdy crew down. Hope so anyway. A little bit of fame went to the blogs head I guess. ;-) Or nerves about having a lot of new faces show up all at once among our happy little family here.
