Also, if he looks older than 47, it might not be from the porn, but from his self admitted crystal meth use (according to review of his autobiography).
Also (though I haven't looked for photos of him from his porn days, so I could be wrong here), I assume he engaged in some competitive tanning while he was doing porn, and years of tanning will age a person prematurely.
Just like crystal meth.
TOTALLY unrelatedly, I did a trial run on making my own wedding bouquet: [link] Pretty easy, you guys! And I don't think I have (terribly) low standards, or anything. Now it's cooling its heels in a vase in the fridge overnight, to see if/how long it will last into tomorrow, so I can gauge whether a homemade bouquet will last overnight and into the following day/ceremony time.
So I have a job interview over breakfast tomorrow. And next Friday I have another interview, which should be interesting, because it's with the City of SF, and it's a panel, and I'm not entirely sure I want to work there. But then I'm not entirely sure I want to work.
Although to be fair it's been kind of fun working this week, since I don't have any responsibility, I'm just grinding through the changes to the report.
I should probably go to bed, except I just bought the new Temeraire novel. Eeeps. (I'm still excited even though I was rather disappointed by the last two...)
good luck 'Suela! I hope something works out.
Pretty, Steph! I like the wee snail.

Yeah, I was unaware of the meth use, but I recall a lot of poolside photography that probably required hours filming in the sun as well as the general tan maintenance beforehand.

That's for Tim's mom. She loved the outdoors -- worked for the Park District, took the family camping every weekend basically from May through early October, built a house in the woods. And inside their house, she collected little critters -- little plastic animals (bugs, lizards, frogs, etc.) that she perched in plant pots, on picture frames -- everywhere. She was all about the critters.
So I thought a good way to honor her memory and have her at the wedding in spirit was to incorporate a critter into my bouquet and Tim's boutonniere. The snail happened to work perfectly because it's actually on a stick, so I could just wrap it in with the flower stems.
Tim hasn't picked out his critter yet, though he's leaning toward a blue tree frog.
Excellent job, Steph.
There's not enough coffee in the world to deal with the contents of my inbox this morning. Uhg.
And I've got at least 3 phone calls to make, and you know how I love that.
Very cool, Tep.
I would really like to go back to bed now. But I will not. Because I am a professional, dammit.
Really pretty, Tep! Although as soon as I saw it I realized I was subconsciously expecting something blue.
