Heros: Parker Posey

They're picking up prisoners and putting 'em in a pen.
And all she wants to do is dance.

-D. Kortchmar/WB Music Corp. ASCAP (1984)

Rent "Party Girl" (1995) and watch her dance in the last scene. Parker Posey is way beyond hip. She is her own world and authentic. Not unlike Neal Cassady, François Villon, Raoul Duke or the tragically misunderstood, and now martyr-like, GeekLawyer. If you have to look them up, don't bother--you will never get it.

In late 2007, I met her in the Newark Airport on the to London. I remember nothing about my life before that day. She's the rare American woman with Southern roots who won't make you gag the minute she starts talking. Slight accent, always subtle. Not just funny. Her natural quirk and smarts almost hide how gorgeous she is.
