Unabashedly dorky.

Some people try to hide their love of science fiction in boxes under their bed or in their parents’ garage.

Not me.

I have an entire room decorated around my Superman collection. I buy Star Wars books for my friends’ children and Twilight/Harry Potter/Vampire Academy books for myself. I have a “Nerds Love Me” t-shirt. I am — unabashedly and unapologetically — a total dork.

So of course I am amped for James Hance’s (free) solo show, The Dork Side, tonight at The Cornbred Gallery (www.cornbredgallery.com). Just check out his work:

I mean, the man has made a Wookiee into Winnie the Pooh.I hope he wants to make babies with me because that would just be perfect in my unborn child’s future bedroom.

Elliott Erwitt. The man. The myth. The Legend.

Met this legend last week. I explained the hipstamatic camera to him. He then asked if it was an “app” and asked to see my photos. So embarrassing. Might as well send my screenplay to Steven Speilberg and see what he thinks. Or maybe President Obama would like to read my poli sci essay?

Mr. Erwitt if you’re reading this, thank you. But more importantly, thank you for photographing. Your pictures are inspiring – and ensured one particular young girl tried to always be poised, feminine and fabulous.

Confession: I think you’re a wee bit tacky.

I think it’s really cute that you invited pretty much the whole sorority to your beach wedding, but we graduated from college 8 years ago. We don’t all know each other anymore. As I recall, we didn’t all even like each other 8 years ago. So, if you’re going to get married 5 hours away, which means I would have to take a day off work and get a hotel room for at least 2 nights, I’d appreciate a little “and guest” action on the inner envelope.

Oh god. You don’t want us to do the sorority wedding cheer, do you?

Celebrity Ravings.

Amping up for the weekend by reading gossip blogs and I’ve got a few things to say …

The China State Dinner was last night and so, of course, the Obamas invited notable Chinese people to attend. Such as Vera Wang. Michelle Kwan. Jackie Chan. Barbara Streisand. Oh, wait. Why the hell was she there? Anyway, The Washington Post has a lovely slideshow of people arriving, including the glamorous Willow Bay, who is identified as the wife of Walt Disney’s CEO. Ummm. Really? She’s a SENIOR EDITOR at the Huffington Post for god’s sake. Come. On.

Speaking of anti-feminists …. Proving once and for all that he’s an idiot who prefers his ladies inked up, months after Sandra Bullock divorced him for racing through women like he races cars (like that?), Jesse James announced that 2010 was his “best year ever” and he’s engaged to Kat Von D. Right.

Oh and did anyone catch Olivia Munn’s attempt at humor this morning on NBC’s The Today Show? Not only was that hard to watch but she walked outside in a sundress and a blazer. A SUN DRESS. No tights. No pants. Just her smile and unfortunate new short hair cut. Did she not realize it was 18 degrees this morning? Did no one mention that it’s going to snow tonight? She looked like a moron standing there next to everyone else all bundled up. And trust me, that was hard to do because Ann Curry was wearing a drum major costume. With the hat.
