So. . .
. . . I am a great believer in symbolism. Things that stand for, mean, remind one of, other things. I surround myself with talismans --- in the house, in my car, even in my billfold. If I don't have something nearby that puts me in mind of something near, dear, irreplaceable, I feel sort of lost.
When it came time to choose the nominations start date for Knitters' Hunk and Knitters' Chick this year, a glance at the calendar made the decision simple.
Today is Robert Redford's birthday.
Nominations are open!
Comments
Hunks: Neil Gaiman and my love, my dear Jeremy Irons.
Babes: Amanda Palmer and Mia Farrow (who is a knitter, and whose participation in making the world better is awesome).
1. Tom Hiddleston (yes, in spite of his 'relationship' with Taylor Swift and because of his relationship with HL)
2. Alan Cummings. WHY HAVE I NOT NOMINATED HIM BEFORE?
3. Alexander Skarsgard. Because I will nominate him until he wins. Or til the end of time, whichever comes first.
I need to think about the ladies so I will return!
1. Tracey Ullman
2. The Duchess of Cambridge (have we ever had royalty nominated? Because ROYALTY)
3. Felicity Huffman.
