Weetzie weetzie weetzie! I loved her when I was fifteen, and I love her still, but it's really Witch Baby--with her purple eyes and curled toes and black snarl ball hair--that is the most slinkster cool of all. Every time Angel Juan calls her "Nina Brujan," I swoon and get all shivery.

Did you know that Francesca Lia Block's first editor was Charlotte Zolotow? And that Charlotte Zolotow's in her nineties so her website is maintained by her daughter, born Ellen Zolotow but not going by Crescent Dragonwagon?

And that Crescent now runs a writing program and lives with filmmaker David Koff? Also her dad Maurice Zolotow was a "show business biographer" who once met Roman Polanski (who apparently mistook him for someone else)?
