Almost Naked Animals
June 19, 2007
For your entertainment, I thought I'd alert you to the fact that the oh-so-talented illustrator (and soon-to-be author!) Noah Z. Jones has recently added a new "Almost Naked Animal" to his wacky "Almost Naked Animals" website. They are worth checking out, as is Noah's star. See it there, rapidly rising? Go, Noah, go!
Ah, the things you'll find on the web these days -- everything from almost naked animals to almost corrupted horses.
P.S. Noah and his wife are expecting a baby in September, but they're keeping their name choices top secret until the little guy's/gal's arrival. My best friend's perfect two year-old son is named Silas. My new 10 year-old neighbor is named Milo. Kristen McLean's perfect little sweetpea is Lola. Heard any other good names lately? I am personally NOT shopping around for one (would hate for those rumors to circulate...), but if YOU are, I recommend taking a peek at The Baby Name Wizard by Laura Wattenberg. Unlike most baby books, this one's not about the meanings of names so much as their trends. Beside each name is a little popularity chart, enabling you to see which names had their heyday in a previous decade, which names are on their way out, and which names have never been a blip on anyone's radar. You'll also find a description of each name's personality or historical significance, suggestions for siblings' names, and colorful name categories like "Porch Sitters" (e.g. Agnes, Luetta, Floyd, and Norbert) and "Surfer Sixties" (e.g. Dionne, Randi, Kurt, and Vince).
