But the comment must be made... "Compact, busty brunettes: Jenn, Irène Jacob, Julia Ormond, Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, essentially every ex-girlfriend — and Anna Belknap"... And here I thought it was for my sparkling personality ;) Okay, see my recent email to you for why I find myself reading a post from a year and a half ago. But the comment must be made…

That is not traditionally my "type", but I have such a massive crush on her that it's ridiculous. While there are many celebrities that fall within my type that I find dull or uninteresting, physically, I can't think of any that I would consider <I>repulsive</I>.

Yeah, hot.  Slightly less so when she demands that people pronounce it Dionne.  Jenn thinks she’s ugly.

Also, I find Angelina Jolie fucking terrifying.

I had her specifically in mind with the “real-life insanity” instruction.
