Zoey Deschanel or Katy Perry?

And now, for something completely different!

From the neck up. Let's keep it G rated, folks.

Who's cuter: Zoey Deschanel, or Katy Perry? And who has the more fun personality? Which one would you rather spend an afternoon with?

Judging from these photos, I'd call it a tie. Flip a coin. Or invite them both.

ADDENDUM:

This is kinda fun. In December 2020, these two beauties were having a public Instagram chat, and Katy confessed that she used to pose as Zooey in order to get into the clubs in LA. 

At the time, Zooey was famous and Katy wasn't. Katy had just moved to LA and wanted to go clubbing. But "I had no money, no clout, no nothing", and if she posed as the famous Zooey, they would let her right in.

Even funnier than that is Zooey's response "Well, I know this" -- which shocked Katy.

Zooey is not the clubbing type, and she told Katy, "“people were like, ‘I saw you!’ But I’m such a goody-two-shoes, and people kept going like, ‘I saw you out! I made eye contact with you!’"

It was fun to see that Katy looked up to Zooey as being famous and successful, compared to her. And it was fun that, on the other hand, Zooey thinks Katy is "gorgeous" and considered it a compliment to be compared to her.

You can find several articles about the conversation by searching the Web. I'm not going to post a link here, for fear that it will go stale.

This morning's smile

One thing there is NOT a shortage of, in our neighborhood, is people walking dogs.

Another thing there is NOT a shortage of , in our neighborhood, is attractive young women.

(I mean young adult women, of course. I notice these things. Please forgive me. I promise I'll stop — the day my heart stops beating.)

This morning I saw both things at once.

I had a substitute-teaching assignment at 6:00 this morning. I drove home at 7:00 to get my lunch and go to work. As I was driving into the neighborhood, by the light of the rising sun, I looked down the block and noticed ... well, here are the thoughts that went through my mind:

That's a particularly attractive young woman.


She's walking a dog. Wow, that's a pretty dog.


That looks a lot like our dog. I wonder if someone —


Hey! That's my daughter!


Our third daughter is home right now, interviewing for jobs and preparing for her upcoming wedding in a few weeks. She has always been my little girl, and I'm just now getting used to the idea that she's a grown woman.
