Miranda Kerr: A woman with a lot of charm!

I'm not quite sure how I got on this kick about Miranda Kerr, the beautiful Australian model (who apparently now lives in the US), but I watched her on a talk show on YouTube, and I was totally taken.  She simpers and she giggles, but she comes across as totally real!

Just in case you don't know whom I'm talking about, here's a photo.  It looks very much as though she's sitting on a bicycle, but it's hard to tell, but the angle looks very bicycle-like.  I love those crazy dimples she has, and she looks wonderful with lipstick, which is rare for a woman.  I mean, most girls look a little less than their best unless the lip color has been applied by a professional.  With Miranda, she has such a wide smile that it's just as well that lip color works for her.  (As soon as I find a photo I like of her with makeup on, I'll post it.)  And she has pretty eyes, and beautiful manners.

She has separated from her husband, Orlando Bloom, but the interview I saw was still pre-separation.  The news said that she was continuing to speak kindly about her husband, which is something I appreciate.  I really dislike ungracious people, and if I'm ever ungracious, I hope someone will remind me of that fact.  And Miranda plays the piano, which is all right in my book!

I have to say that I like to hang around with guys more than with girls.  I like the way that guys --at least, the guys I like, not romantically, but just as buddies-- act, once you've straightened it out with them that we're not flirting, and turned their attention towards other girls.  It's only the exceptional woman who can leave aside being a full-time woman to be a full-time human being.  Miranda Kerr comes across as most definitely in the world of being a woman.  She's an insider to all the makeup, and the feminine walk, and all that goes with being a traditional attractive woman, but she seems to have gotten it down so well, that when she talks, she isn't busy being a woman, you know?  People who're busy being women make me nervous, and make me want to escape!  (If you're one of these, let's hope that, if we meet, we have something super interesting to talk about, in which case I get distracted, and I don't obsess about all this sort of stuff.)

I saw Miranda interviewing a musician on YouTube (can't remember his name), and she was utterly relaxed, but not so much that she was being careless about her guest.  I would love seeing Miranda interview a woman.  I have to look for one, but right now I'm finishing up the end-of-term business with my classes, and I really shouldn't be taking time off to have fun with my Blog.  But Miranda sure is cute.

A new book at Smashwords

I decided to upload another episode from Helen today.  It is an early episode, in a period where Helen had dropped out of school, and had been living with a reclusive former nurse, in the Canadian wilderness.  (There is not a lot of actual wilderness in Canada, but I assumed there was more in Canada than in the US!)

The story is that Helen decides to be an assistant at a ballet camp in France.  There is more sex in this story than in any of the episodes I have uploaded thus far, and I'm not sure how it will be received.  But I love the characters in it, and Helen is really sweet and affectionate in it, and for anyone who likes a sappy story, this is a good one.

I think the cover is beautiful, and I hope everyone agrees.
