Tidbits 4/27

• Philly Burbs: ihatekelliepickler.com owner says AI fans, particularly Claymates are "dedicated"
• Sturgis Journal: You don't have to win to make it... "Clay Aiken is perhaps the most notable figure to emerge from 'AI' without being named the winner."
• Atlanta Journal Constitution: AI article... mentions Unchained Melody and the fact Clay has sung that song before.
• Dateline Alabama: American Dreamz article (yes... these articles are still coming in!)
• South Carolina's The State: Fun facts about WB..."Frankie Muniz starred in a production of 'The Sound of Music' with Clay Aiken."
• The CB's TDIBanshee received her (pricy) Kevin Hees' Clay Aiken autographed prints. She posted this earlier this morning:

  They are in a word.....exquisite.
  
  This is my shot at describing the first one. Don't forget they are 11"x14" and are breathtaking works.
  
  First print:
  One must be sitting to view - the impact is so stunning.
  Clay standing with right shoulder turned prominently toward camera - he is gazing upward and forward with a somewhat serene yet intent expression, as though watching something or someone that he finds particularly stirring..... . Said shoulder and torso are draped in black leather.
  
  Clay is dressed in striped shirt first 3 buttons undone. Just a peek of chest hair to stoke the imagination.
  The area behind Clay is somewhat shadowed, the shadowing accentuates his neck and stong jawline beautifully. His right ear appears chiseled as though created by the finest sculptor. His hair frames his face in perfectly soft spikes of veriagated hues.
  
  Then we have Clay's face. That exquisite dream of a face. The lighting captures every essence of his every feature brilliantly. A smattering of freckles are just visible. The eyebrows arch in furry wonder at the object of his gaze and are the perfect embellishment for what lay beneath them - the eyes. Those glorious, clear, bright shining beacons infringed by wondrous lashes. One can only imagine what or whom Clay is having thoughts of as he gazes on with such rapt wonder. The strong nose leads us on a journey to ......the mouth. Lips are slightly parted, barely exposing a row of chiclet like teeth. The top lip is bowed and has a slight sheen to add to it's mystery. His bottom lip.....plump, ripe so soft in appearance. Those lips beg for attention of some kind.........sigh.
  
  
  OK, so basically the photo is absolutely stunning in clarity, lighting, subject (of course) and just overall impact. (And quite possibly Clay was probably just imagining that the photo shoot was over.....LOL!!) Either way, I'm here :cloud9
  
  Thank you Kevin!! :hug2
