...was meeting and spending time with this wonderful, sweet, funny, smart, pretty lady & her adorable dog.
Here is a peek of what Genevieve Gallen and ::jozjozjoz:: were up to...

I am not joking about this. Don't make me open up a can of Joz-Whup-Ass™.
UPDATE: As a response to Joelle's excellent questions... she's not the only one who asked them, but thanks for asking them publicly so I can reply publicly.
Joelle asked: "Is this an image that you added the signage to yourself or is this actually a sign that she's holding with your name on it?"
Joz says: This is an image taken by me this past weekend with Genevieve actually holding the sign. The only photoshopping done to this is the addition of the watermark and some cropping.
Joelle also asked: "aren't you being a wee teeny bit paranoid with the whole watermark and "fullest extent of the law" thing? ;) or that by her request?"
Joz says: Fair question! Part of the deal of me posting her pictures on my site is that they are watermarked to make it a headache for anyone trying to steal it and photoshop it. And the "fullest extent of the law" thing is wordage taken almost word for word from her website. And one of the reasons that this is reiterated is to discourage people from taking this photo and "adding signage," changing the words on the sign, etc. Oh, and I also wanted an excuse to threaten people with my can of Joz-Whup-Ass™.

Posted by: OutOutBlogger at August 25, 2003 05:06 PMShe has a white long-haired chihuahua! (It is also in her bio on her website.)
Posted by: :: jozjozjoz :: at August 25, 2003 05:09 PMHow very cool! Great picture, and sweet endorsement!
Posted by: Hey Lisa at August 25, 2003 05:48 PMI'm confused. Is this an image that you added the signage to yourself or is this actually a sign that she's holding with your name on it?
OK, and don't yell at me here... I'm just playing the Devil's Advocate, but aren't you being a wee teeny bit paranoid with the whole watermark and "fullest extent of the law" thing? ;)
Posted by: Joelle at August 25, 2003 06:35 PMor that by her request?
Posted by: Joelle at August 25, 2003 06:36 PMHmmm.. Palling around with the celebs, hm? ;-)
Posted by: Ginny at August 25, 2003 06:48 PMHoly shit, no way! You're the coolest. ; )
Posted by: Serra at August 25, 2003 06:51 PMget her to flash the abs again!
Posted by: mikey at August 25, 2003 07:05 PMI wasn't accusing you of anything. :) I was just asking.
Posted by: Joelle at August 25, 2003 07:09 PMthat is just ultra cool. I envy you californians with your cool people around. :)
Posted by: Meeta at August 25, 2003 08:47 PMJoz is a great girl! We had a wonderful time tearing up Beverly Hills together. How could I not support a site that was so supportive Verne and I? (After Sharky's "tongue in cheek" countdown, of course) And most definitely, we must thank the nice Indian Sikh man that held up the newspaper stand so that I did not pull it over. A Namaste' shout out to him in da house! Mikey, I am getting a jozjozjoz tattoo across my abs as we speak for the next shot. :) Take Care all, Genevieve!!!
Posted by: Genevieve Gallen at August 25, 2003 08:51 PMJust had to say it...MY INDIAN PEEPS ARE COOL!!! :) hee hee. We do anything for others (most of the time).
Posted by: Meeta at August 25, 2003 09:03 PMno, don't cover the abs! as un-sexy as this sounds, you've got one hell of a midsection!
Posted by: mikey at August 25, 2003 09:47 PMAll fear the Joz-Whup-Ass.
Amazing, what this internet thing can do. Ya know, it could really catch on one day.
Posted by: sean at August 25, 2003 10:06 PMEeeeyeah. You have no life at all. No cool stories or adventures. I don't wanna hear it! *throws up hand* Seriously, this is so cool. What a great picture!
Posted by: Hunter at August 25, 2003 10:21 PMThat is so very cool. She seems like a wonderful person, and that's a great picture of her.
Can I say I knew you when?
Posted by: Annessa at August 25, 2003 10:41 PMThanks Meeta! Yes, I am very attached to the Indian community and speak fluent Hindi. The owner of the stand was a bit surprised when I started asking him if we could shoot a picture there in his native tongue. With years in the yoga community (before it became so "trendy" and westernized) I was really taken in by Indian families. So, I am therefore quite aware, as well as influenced by the gentle and giving nature of the Indian culture. As per Mikey,...just joking about the tattoo. :) I was put in a dunk tank for Muscle and Fitness...(when I first heard of it....I thought they meant the kind that girls sit up on a plank and guys throw apples or tennis balls at the target to 'DUNK EM'" But it was luckily not that type of dunk tank.) I have 4% body fat. Other than yoga and a strict veggie diet...I have never worked on my abs..no weights or sit ups... Theory, the little ones that i have just show through my skin? But thanks for the compliment. It is always good to not only feel healthy and strong, but have people find that attractive. Much gratitude for your kind words. Ok...lots to do. I am avoiding much work and in a happy diversion of The Wizard of Joz. But time to click my hot pink stillettos together and get back to "my toto" (Goomi) and all the work here at home. XOXO.
Posted by: Genevieve Gallen at August 25, 2003 10:49 PMShe is gorgeous isn't she :)
I am so jealous Joz!
I want to meet a celebrity, well a pretty one atleast.. heh
What an awesome picture - you're probably making everyone who doesn't live in LA think you just walk down the street and see models and movie stars everywhere =)
Posted by: Michael Doss at August 25, 2003 11:50 PMshe IS gorgeous ... go verne, go verne!
Posted by: tj at August 26, 2003 04:06 AMWe have celebs in Idaho ... yeah sure. Well, they all live in Sun Valley - which is technically Idaho...kinda/sorta (at least on the map).... Bruce, Demi and whatnot. I think Verne is cuter than Bruce anyhoo. Who's with me?
*crickets chirping*
Posted by: heather at August 26, 2003 06:54 AMwhy didn't you take a picture of the two of you together??????
Posted by: yvonne at August 26, 2003 08:33 AMThere *IS* a picture of the two of us together! That's coming up next!
Posted by: :: jozjozjoz :: at August 26, 2003 09:18 AMgroovy girl but at the risk of looking exceptionally lame..........who is she??
Posted by: gnome-girl at August 26, 2003 05:59 PMI know this is belated but... HOT DAMN! She is a goddess. /swoon
Posted by: cybrpunk at August 27, 2003 07:15 AMDamn jozX3, fist it was Bernie, then Sharon, and now your pimpin with Genevieve.
Thats really cool that she is willing to do something like that for you, and the blog community. I would think most celebs would shy away from getting that personalable with one.
That rocks. And she is a bona fide hottie!
