My Wife in the NY Times Magazine


Today's New York Times magazine is the Campus Issue. Beginning on page 88 is a section on professors with style. My wife, Annalisa Crannell, is on page 90. They dressed her in $5000 worth of designer clothes including $2500 Gucci boots which did not show in the shot they used. The irony of this is that my wife has not bought any new clothes in this millennium. She only gets clothes from her friends and yard sales. She even considers Goodwill stores overpriced. The clothes she was wearing may have have cost more than all the clothes she has bought in her life.

  1. Hope she got to keep the clothes! Sure is a good-looking lady. You must be very proud.

  2. None of the profs got to keep the clothes--way to expensive!!
    She looks just as good in her usual $5 outfits from yard sales as in $5000 in designer clothes.

  3. This is very true! She certainly proves that beauty comes from within - not with the help of overly expensive clothes...
