Joyce Carol Oates.

OK, that really does make me inexplicably happy.

I love that picture so much.

lol- xpost - Isn't it great?

Guess with Tyson: Joyce Carol Oates??? I know she's done a lot of writing about boxing, so that one might not be that weird.

aw, ani looks so cute upthread

I kind of love Leonard and Taylor together up there. Not, like, as a couple. Just as photo subjects.

iirc it's some dude in the opening band she was touring with

I think the girl with Cohen is T Swift and that it's just an awful pic of her.

Holy crap @ the P Farrell/T Blair pic. Is Blair a shorty or is Farrell freakishly tall? He looks mega strange in that pic.

Is that David Lynch with MJ way up thread? cause if so awesome!

yep!

where the hell do you guys get these?

google search: celebrities with unaffiliated celebrities ?

that mirror pic is MIA with...?

(I hope that's MIA)

It's Konnie Huq and Charlie Brooker.

He is a curmudgeonly tv critic and she is a professional hottie and they are now married and this confuses some people.

Blair's over six foot iirc - Perry Farrell must have on an outrageous set of platforms

oh, thanks for the clarication. she looks particularly surly in that picture which is why I got her confused with MIA (also, not knowing who either of those two people are). xp

Danielle Dax.

Francoise Hardy went to a Montreal Expos game in 1969. Here she is with Rusty Staub:

That's what I call totally out of left field!

(OK so apparently he played right field)

so weird that they named their team after a... a fair. I guess that's all they had?

I always thought that was nuts as well. A one-time only fair that was over before the team started playing. Plus they had a baffling logo.

always thought it looked like a snail trying to eat a hot dog

I read somewhere that before Madonna came around, Hardy was the most photographed woman in the world

more than Jackie O and Grace Kelly?

I have no way to quantify it

But Hardy was a model for Vogue et al where Jackie O hid beneath a veil

xxp

It's way before my time but Expo 67 is still considered a very big deal in the history of Montreal, I can understand why they named the baseball team after it. Also one of the best logos in sports in my opinion.

While the rest of the photos on that page are plenty appealing, that one achieves the nearly impossible task of making Hardy look less than monumentally photogenic.

maybe she wrote a song called "Base-a-ball" about her time at the park

She went to Jarry Park to shoot the photos that illustrate this article. On location, she obediently followed along with all the photographer’s requests.

Later, she admitted, “It was the first time I’d seen baseball players. They’re huge! In France, we’re not used to seeing men that big.”

During the pre-game workout, balls whizzed past her, flying from all directions. The people accompanying her — her agent, Lionel Roc, and her guide, Pierre David of CJMS Productions, took cover. She remained, without the slightest bit of worry. Serious.

But later, in the stands, she had fun playing the fan, an Expos cap on her head and a hot dog in her hand.

possibly the only Expos fan wearing a mink coat

With a snail trying to eat it?

not Francoise but Serge wrote a song called Baseball where the word baaaaase is really stretched out so it sounds like baise because of course he'd do a song like that
features in the 1967 film Anna

Baise Beyle comme dit Stendhal

Allow me to introduce you to St. Louis, Missouri, where they have not yet shut up about 1904.

I thought the Expos logo was a stylized EB for Seagram’s mogul Edgar Bronfman?

I kind of forgot about the Expos until I was in Montreal last summer and bought a hat because the logo is awesome, plus it was a buy-one-get-one sale and my son got a Seattle Sonics hat for extra obselete teams bonus.

Anyway, if you ever want baseball nerds to flip out or get all glassy-eyed and nostalgic I suggest wearing an Expos hat around in public; sadly I don't know or care about baseball but it's kind of amazing how many reactions I've gotten.

I have a friend who wears Expos gear to Nationals games and thinks he's clever for it
