K,THANX. BAI!

In my lifetime I have come to know about some pretty special people on the planet. People we are lucky to share lifetimes with, people notable not just for their fame, but for their individuality. Crispin Hellion Glover is one of those people - unique in every way, driven by a fiercely independent creative muse, and devilishly handsome. Madonna is the most obvious. She's carved her own path to icon status, blazed a million trails for women everywhere with lace-clad fantasies, and she helps AIDS babies with her own money and not just her name.

Most recently notable on my Notable Peoples list is Bai Ling. Bai Ling has been in the scene for quite sometime. She pre-dates Lucy Liu in the "dragon lady" vein, has more balls now than Joan Chen did in the 80's, keeps it real for all the good looking celebrity shoplifters out there, and Bai Ling holds it down for dressing like a kook when Bjork gave up after that swan incident. The lady is no quitter.

Bai Ling is most *recently* notable because I was just introduced to her blog by my friend Franky. I want to share this gem with all of you.... Let me welcome you now to the world of Bai Ling.

Are you ready?

Are you sure?

Cause this is some mind expanding, world shifting, Oprah book club type shit.

Seriously, Bai Ling is tuned in to some crazy wavelengths that don't register with normal humans.

She's all visionary and stuff...

Are you prepared for this?

Okay.

Meet Bai Ling.....

This is now one of the blogs I read on a regular basis. It should become one of yours too. Bai Ling helps remind me that the world is a beautiful, exciting adventure everyday, even if I don't look as good in a bikini as she does. She reminds me that hair is an accessory to be modified, often as our bodies are impermanent. She reminds me that it's important to have friends like Angelina Jolie, who have selfless passions in life and inspire us to develop those passions in ourselves. Bai Ling reminds me that travel helps to simultaneously feed and center the soul. Bai Ling's childlike look at love reminds me that love should be easy and full of joy, even if in the now it feels like a laborious, uncalculated risk that brings nothing but heartbreak.

Enjoy Bai Ling. Share her with the rest of the world, and as Franky says, "be nice" to the little star dweller. (You never know, she could report back to her planet if we're jerks to her, and they could destroy all of planet Earth in a fiery blast that we never saw coming.)
