Brief flirtation with 'fame'

I unearthed this at the museum the other day. So there, I can rightfully say I've been a covergirl too. Muahahaha.

All I can remember is this; I was mucking around waiting to enter grad school and Otterman called to ask if I were available for some photoshoot at the museum. I was free that day and turned up in my dungarees. I mean, how was I to know that I had to look er.. academic and all, poring over books and examining specimens with a scholarly air?

We corrected that by borrowing GS's jacket but there weren't any hair gel or makeup to make myself look better. But its just as well. It turned out to be an accurate rendition of a taxonomist - pale skin and lips from being locked up in the collection for the longest time.

Here's a spot quiz. Can you name 3 errors in this picture?

First name out of the hat gets a slab of smelly cheese from Paris.
