Default Famous Person Nocti Portrait

First one to name her gets the prize. M7, Nocti at f/1.0

(Hint: You can get the first name by putting your curser over the image.)

Julia Roberts?

I'm not familiar with the term "boob tube" here around. Heard about "boob jobs" ... Hope it is not related. Hope it's not those midnight shows.

I would have guessed writer. But not.

Julia Sweeny then?



Besides that. It's a great portrait. It has some Marilyn Monroe aura about it. The way it was done, the way she looks, the light. Not kidding. I like it.

A boob tube is one of those sparkly tops that young women wear that just about covers the "chesty bits" and not much else.

Popular in the 1980's, M'Lud.

Congratulations, Thorsten. You got the first name right. ;-}

BTW, "Boob tube" is a Wisconsin colloquialism for a television.

Nobody around here watches "Saturday Night Live?" Does "Androgenous Pat" ring any bells?

I know who it is. But first, Brent--is that a period or a colon after the word "prize" in your original post?

I knew if anyone could get it, it would be you. And, (whew!!!) it's a period.

Well, Dang.
Julia Sweeny had me rolling on the floor more times than I can count. Is she as funny in person as she was on SNL?

You nailed it Dan. And, yes, she is still VERY funny. Email me at bnphotog@yahoo.com and I'll tell you what you won.

Thanks much, Paul. I shot this last week in San Francisco.
