Dr. Emily Zarka is the host of Monstrum, a PBS show. She is the world's foremost expert on cryptids. I write horror and fantasy and whenever I need a beasty this is who I turn to. Aside from Ryan George she's my most watched internet personality.

​

Paul Westerberg is (was?) the lead singer of, and driving creative force behind, The Replacements. Like a lot of weirdo creative kids I was miserable in high school. How do you tell someone your music saved my life?

​

Felicia Day yall probably already know. The Guild, MST3K reboot. I've actually "spoken" to her online, where I'm sure she couldn't tell how totally geeked I was. My generation's Queen of the Nerds.

​

Seanan McGuire (aka Mira Grant) writes, I'm pretty sure, constantly. Novels, comics, throwaway off bits, Small Gods. This woman is a genius. I could meet Stephen King and keep my cool, if only barely. I would make an idiot of myself if I met Seanan McGuire.

​

So anyway, there are any number of mega stars I could meet, respectfully tell them how much I enjoy their work, then keep going. But an obscure PBS internet personality would have me full on Troy Barnes meets LeVar Burton.

To be completely honest I just wanted to show how good he looks.

I made a post a little while back celebrating distinct noses on women in Hollywood. It was really positively received, so I wanted to start a thread of unique smiles. No shame in the braces game, but here are a few that stand out to me. Feel free to add ♡
