Ms. Jessica Zafra is my idol. I've been reading her blog for more than a year now. I still haven't read her books, The Seven Twisted Books and she announced that book 8 is now in stores, so I think I'll have to start reading from the first volume. When I think of Jessica, another person gets in my mind. Ms. Edna Mode from The Incredibles.
Edna is my favorite character from that movie. Edna is a half-Japanese, half-German fashion designer and auteur, Edna has created custom-made original outfits for superheroes since the "glory days", saying that she designs for gods. It is apparent that she feels infinitely superior to all other designers in the world and shows much disdain towards runway boutiques and modern fashion models, claiming that she had gone to Milan to design clothing for the supermodels, and called them "Spoiled, stupid little stick-figures with poofy lips who think only about themselves."
Some believe that the character Edna Mode is based on real-life fashion designer Edith Head and possibly Mary Quant. Or she may be based on the real-life fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. Her name refers to EMode—a small piece of custom-designed software used by Pixar (not related to other similarly-named software). Calling the character "Mode" is also certainly a pun on the French and German word for "fashion". Also, her hairstyle, personality, and appearance at European fashion shows may be a vague connection to Vogue super-editor and fashion force Anna Wintour. Others believe that this character may be based on costume designer Una Jones, who shares not only physical appearance with the character, but also personality.
Jessica is a columnist, talk show host, loves cats, author and blogger. Cats.Which reminds me the gruesome incident I witnessed just this morning when I walked out of the house. I saw a sleeping cat being ran over by my neighbor's Pajero. I saw the whole thing happened and luckily the guts didn't spat over me. I still can't get it off my had. Poor thing. Very disturbing. Anyway..
Although they are much different in character, I think they both have great resemblance.
