programming note no.2

While the weekly Nosy Interviews will continue to feature my smelly, talented, and weird friends, I also intend to interview people I haven't met, but whose writing, style, or work inspires or intrigues me. This nose of mine is curious about people I haven't sniffed in real life, people I barely know, even people I sat across from once on a train.

 I will take any excuse to post pictures of interspecies friends. [via]

As always, I welcome suggestions.  If you could Nosy Interview anyone--alive or dead, real or fictional--who would you choose? Jesus? Clive Owen? Let me know in the comments!

  1. Ooh, what a hard and delicious question! Definitely Jesus, or anyone, really, who lived at the time -- I want to know anybody smelled like in those days. Also Christopher Hitchens -- I think his answers right now while he's undergoing chemotherapy would be incredibly eloquent (because the man can't be anything *but* incredibly eloquent) on the subject of life and death. And so many others. Gandhi. Nelson Mandela. Nigel Slater. Michiko Kakutani. Junot Díaz. Hitler. Miranda July. Queen Elizabeth. The authors of various food blogs I love. Should I send you a list?

  2. Yes, please! Bullet-point that business. I love a good list, and if it includes some of your favorite food blogs, I will doubly-benefit (nosy ideas + always-welcome new internet time-sucks).

  3. George Washington (I think in my mind he'd smell like dust with red wine breath), my great-great - great - great grandmother(probably like mould/bread and/or mouldy bread), an ancient Mapuche (Chilean Native American) chief (smoky?), John Lennon, Isabel Allende (from her writing about food, she has to smell good!) Love your blog! LOVE IT!!!!
