My friend the brilliant photographess Jenny Anderson usually sticks to the picture’s-worth-a-thousand-words philosophy on her personal/professional blog, so I was surprised to read this pitch-perfect description of the man-of-her-dreams the other day.
Oprah slash The Secret (and so by extension my mother…) say you’ve got to get your ideal man down on paper (so, Internet…) to let the universe know what you’re after.
I don’t really believe that, but I do believe this is one incredible picture painted in some incredible words.

So, this being a photo blog and all I don’t usually post without…well photos. However, I’ve been super busy with work and haven’t had time of my own to shoot anything new. So, I wanted to share with you a thought I had today. I just started thinking of what the perfect man would be and how I would go about getting that said perfect man. John Hughes had the right idea! So, here goes. My perfect man if I were to put on a bra hat and weird science myself a soul-mate.He would have Conan’s humor, Tom Welling’s cheekbones, Zooey Deschanel’s whimsy, Ryan Gosling’s mystique, Johnny Cash’s swagger, Dempsey’s hair, Ledger’s (r.i.p) accent, the pop culture savvy of Lorelai Gilmore, the brain of CJ Craig, the utter coolness of Bob Dylan, the voice of Ray LaMontagne, a dash of Clark Kent, a smidge of Kermit the frog, a sprinkle of Liz Lemon & a fist full of Jim Halpert. He would also have the style of Joseph Gorden Levitt in 500 Days of Summer and the boyish charm of Hugh Grant in Sense and Sensibility/Notting Hill. He would also play a mean guitar, make a kick ass sandwich, do a killer impression of Alf and be an excellent doodler.Just thought I should write this down somewhere just in case one day I find this person I will have proof I thought of him first. If you are out there dear sir, please contact me. I am extremely fly for a white gal. Thanks.

I very much appreciate the Clark Kent reference. Mmm Tom Welling.
