I let The Daily News take pictures of me.
I’m not a parent but a post I wrote on being adopted and being a teenage rebel won a hottest of the hot award. Would like to thank gnmparents for that honor.
Day Two. She who shall remain nameless sent it to all our friends, former friends, and their children. I stopped answering the phones for awhile because all I would hear was “He,he,he,ho-ha,” etc. Even the politically correct children couldn’t stop laughing. My own sister loved it. I just updated my will and funeral or memorial instructions so as to make sure that’s not the photo used–well it can be but not as the primary one.
I don’t think that I have ever said here that I did act in college underground films, because I have a face of a thousand expressions.
When the photo was taken, two haircuts ago, I was a year younger–it was in the beginning of July–my sister wants that known.
The last time my picture was in something official I was in some video–in my 30’s playing the older ingenue. Now it’s character time. I can live with that–really.
I just had to listen to my best friend laugh for five straight minutes. She’s sending it to everyone we ever met. She who shall remain nameless designed the wall unit. There are even pictures by me as a kid in the background, and my favorite book in Kindergarten: Westwood Ho The Wagon My Dad could recite the book from memory until his last day on earth. Not that he did. It was the first movie outside of Charlie Chaplin Films I saw in a theatre. Fess Parker was the star but I was much more interested in Karen and Cubby from The Mickey Mouse Club.
My hair looks weird–which very coincendentally I had cut the day, and dyed the day before–those are very expensive highlights that look….
This is me in 1988, and me this past winter
According to The Daily NewsI’m a cord cutter. According to me I’m an image blower. However I do have my picture in the Big T–Technorati and Blogalog, the thing that keeps putting me in communities. It is another version of the fruit cake gift. Always get jolted when I go to a blog and see my picture. No, it doesn’t belong here. Please, take it out…..
The News found me through my blog. So did Newsday The Long Island Press and The Christian Science Monitor
Sometimes I think if I sit here long enough a publishing company will find me. I know. I know. That’s like sitting and waiting for Prince Charming to walk through the door. I have done that and found many toads
Oh God, I look so stupid. I can’t stop looking at myself and laughing.
The photographer was truly sweet. Two great journalistic minds trying to think of something to do to show a cord cutting household.
I liked that photo of you. So, the purpose of wireless technology is to enable Manhattanites to be Manhattanites even when they live in Dubuque? That makes sense.
I predict this will become a stock photo for the Daily News and will be used in the future for articles about:
- filing taxes last minute
- dating two men at once
- annoying telemarketers
- caffeine addiction
Great posing, ‘tor. Keep it up
i LOVELOVELOVE that picture of you! i mean it… i think it shows off your personality AND nicely demonstrates the advantages of going “wireless”. well done!! *applauds*
seriously, the picture is completely adorable… you look FANTASTIC! (nice article, too) xox
Way to go on cutting the cord! I guess Im now a ‘cord cutter’ too LOL..
I LOVE that picture! Seriously! It has much soul and character and is just fun FO SHO! Plus I LOVE the hair color… I tried lightening mine but the bastards in Spain got it looking orange-ish brown, just what I told them I didn’t want… and I have been messing with it and it looks better but… (how’s that for a crazy tangent? All that to say I LOVE the picture!)…
And funny thing… Loverboy and I were just fighting about cord cutting today! I hate our landline service… well, it’s a VOIP with Vonage and it’s crap and since we have T-Mobile I wanted to do the at home Hotspot and whatnot… I have yet to convince him but I am SO gonna have him read this article PLUS get to see YOU!
And anyway, everyone always calls me on my cell so what’s the point?
FABOO amiga mia!
Can I send you neshikot now then?
Mwah!
so - i am reading the daily news and i see pia savage a freelance writer - and low and behold it’s you.. i feel so 6 degrees of separation!
ha ha
I loved that picture.
That as wild.
Pia that is so fucking funny it is a great picture, you old cord cutter you.;0
Please, if you can help it try to stay out of the National Enquirer. Although it would be pretty sweet to see you on the cover - sunglasses, large hat, entourage of old blogger friend groupies defending you from the paparazzi.
Wombat, well he is tall, and Jason boxes now, and Doug….well he has dogs I bet they would bite for you. I of course would be saying “Miss Savage is tired and would like her privacy”. Those who did not comply I would hit over the head with my umbrella.
Where have I been?!
That is excellent. I love the photo - love it! It is amazing how they find you. I agree that it would stand to reason if The News can find you and feature you in a story, could a publisher be far behind?
Anyway, mazal tov on the feature.
Great photo, will they let you put it in your blog? And do you have two cell phones? I use a cell phone more and more, but I still occassionally want to throw mine into a brick wall, but I get over it because it silence it all and then forgot about it and think, wow, today has really been peaceful
I love that pic of you! It’s cute, in a quirky, funny, full of personality way
It says “The Upper West Sider joins scores of cell phone users, most of whom are younger…” That seems like an unnecessary dig.
[…] I have a sense of humor about myself. […]
I love side by side photos like that!
As for the publishers knocking down doors, it’s all just so discouraging. There are so many bloggers out there, so many voices. I know we’ve discussed this before, but just think about how many “authors” have been born since we last discussed it. It’s a hard knock life, for us.:(
