Not only are the pants in that photo quite something, but my blind old self had to look twice to be sure she didn't really have hooves. (It is entirely possible I have Deer Woman from Reservation Dogs on the brain.)
Unrelated, but I just listened to your newest podcast and holy crap, man, Jack Chalker was awesome. Frederick Pohl too. I probably read Gateway 50 times (Little Lost Heechee, we're looking for you...). And Downtiming the Night Side has got to be one of the weirdest (and most nonsensical) time travel stories ever. I just re-read that recently and still love it. This confluence of youthful reading between us bother delights and unsettles me.
I often hesitate to name-check Chalker because it often ends with me noting his tendency to write naked women or have male characters in control of women who were then often naked. But he was a terrific writer in sooo many ways.
Thanks for listening to the podcast! I am honored.
He definitely had that "Problematic? I'll show you problematic" edgelord thing going well before the internet cursed us with hyper-online billionaire sociopaths and their legions of sychophants. But still, aside from that, imaginative and readable.
Speaking of hot people, is it just me, or is Regé-Jean Page the most beautiful person in all of history? That man is so gorgeous that every time I see him I want to crawl into a hole lest his beauty burn the flesh from my bones. It's too much.

I would definitely be nervous to talk to him b/c of his sheer physical attractiveness, yes.
