Geeky Chic

As some of you know, I am a magazine junkie, but I’m a little weird about what magazines I’ll publicly acknowledge reading.  Though, for the purpose of this post, I must admit that I sometimes pick up a copy of Vanity Fair, which is essentially the National Enquirer in nice wrapping.

But on to my main point, VF forces celebrities to answer a modified version of the Proust Questionnaire.  I’m very curious about your answers to the Proust Questionnaire, so if you’re procrastinating, and you  feel like obliging me, email me with your responses. (Warning some of you will get spammed with the questionnaire in a day or so.)
