I am the director of the Louise Brooks Society. I am "obessesed" with the silent film star Louise Brooks (see www.pandorasbox.com for a manifestation of my obsession). I like to read. I like to watch old movies. I feel reading old books and viewing old movies are a form of time travel. I am a nerd, and I revel in it.
