Gem sweater queen Leslie Hall is my favorite ce*web*rity. Gold pants forever, baby!
Here’s a video of Leslie I found on Boing Boing today — BB contributor Xeni Jardin interviews the Keeper of the Gems for BBtv.

I feel compelled to mention that Leslie is my cousin. Well, my second cousin–the daughter of my my cousin Rena. They’re from Iowa. I never met Leslie until three years ago, when her band, Leslie & the Lys, played at Art Hop in Burlington. And she brought her Gem Sweater Museum in a modified van. I am proud to be swimming in the gene pool that produced Leslie!
Cathy, where were you at Metronome a few weeks back? Next time Leslie comes to Burlington I am capturing you and finding you a babysitter. Rumor has it that someone I know is trying to bring her this July. Stay tuned for more SHAZAAAAM!
