PSYCH
So, describe her already, wouldja?

     All right then, I will.  Start with Laurie Anderson.  Her face
reminds me a lot of Laurie Anderson.  Only without that dopey grin
that Ms. Anderson always seems to wear.  And without those
chipmunk-ey cheeks.  Karen's cheekbones are higher and more
pronounced.  And Karen wouldn't be caught dead in one of those
white suits either.  Her eyes are like Sinead O'Connor's, very blue
and very clear.  She has a short sharp shock of dirty blonde hair
and her ears are improbably small, as are her teeth.  Her eyebrows
are near-invisible;  they almost seem to be an afterthought, which
I find odd since I know she does nothing with them. Add a dash of
Karen Finley and Kathy Acker for attitude and there you are.
     But it is her neck that fascinates me the most.  The whole
line of her neck, from behind her ears down to her collarbones is
preternaturally delicate.  It reminds me of Audrey Hepburn's. And
the hair on the back of her neck forms a fine V that stops just
before the top of her spine.
     When she walks around without a shirt I am reminded of Edie
Sedgewick in 'Ciao, Manhattan'.  Though Karen's breasts are smaller
than Edie's they are very round and very high.  Sometimes it seems
as if she has conscious control over them, like the headlights of
a Corvette.
     She also reminds me of Roseanna Arquette and Ellen Barkin, two
actresses that look absolutely nothing alike.  But I find they both
have a quality that whenever I watch them in something I don't even
like to blink, for fear of missing something interesting.  Their
every move onscreen fascinates.  Karen is similar in that
everything she says, whether it be idle chat about the weather or
more personal talk, seems to be fresh and interesting.  Something
in her phrases or choices of words.  Or it could just be the fact
that I am in love with her.
