HI CRISTIN!
A E-Mail from Jesper 23 years old in Sweden....
If have understand it right, so do you like to wear "overalls" or what ever it called.( If I'm wrong...sorry), I just must to say that I like too.I've just get a pair from Levi's.
Have A Nice Day: Jesper.
Dear Christin,
I read your "overall-site". Please tell me: what kind of overalls do you wear? Why do you talk about overalls on a website?
Regards,
Peter Kate
Why not talk about overalls on a web site?
Hi. I stumbled on to your page and found it comfortable.
I have been studying stop motion animation by my self for about 3 years. Currently I have been successful at animating tortured, malformed barbie dolls into operatic cantos of nihilism. (Yay!)
The meat of the letter:
I have been looking for a school that offers experimental animation or stop motion but have not had success in the expenditures department. That means its too damn expensive. I want to make the financial commitment, but haven't found anyone who has real, concrete information. I was wondering if you had any input on the quality of classes, (if you have taken them,) on stop motion.
Or are you doing it as a hobby?
I am currently on the battlefield of armature fabrication. How do YOU make ball and socket joints? I hope it is not an ancient Chinese secret.
Thanks. Hope to hear from you:

interested in watching such videos. I wander whether when a lesbian
watches such videos do you get turn-on like a straight guy. I would
think that a true lesbian will only be attracted to a dyke not an

be glad if you could recommend some as I am interested to buy some.

i was doing a net search to try to find out the date of the SF pride parade, and somehow your homepage came up. just wanted to let you know that browsing around in your site was a lovely way to procrastinate on a monday morning when i'd rather be elsewhere than at work. you are an amazingly creative and witty person (you are also way cute, ranking right up there with another one of my favorite italian women--cecilia bartoli), and i will save your site for future browsing. i didn't quite get the sonic queen stuff, though; i'll have to return to that later. sounds like you're doing some really interesting stuff. good luck balancing work and school.

I am impressed with your page! not often you see a page as simple as yours, which contains as much content. (I try to keep my pages simple, alas as more and more people complain including customers I am slowly changing that <sigh>)
The picture on your "tattoo" pages at the top is more than a little interesting. Do you have a copy (with ad copy if possible) for my collection of extraordinary ads?
The looser with the 900 number should be glad you have not included the link to his email in a more prominent place!

cristin,
can you help me? I'm an NYU animation student and I really want to start building armatures with ball and socket jopints but I don't know how. Can you give me some info, recommend some books, or tell me how I can learn? Thanks

Cristin--
I was just enjoying your website & thought I would drop you a note. I checked it out mainly on the subject of tattoo's, but then I saw your little area about your name.
I love the topic of names & you know, your name could also mean "peach pit". :-) You see, "stone" can also mean like that big seed you find in peaches or avocados. (I learned that from a chef friend who kept calling it a stone.)
Also, "Cristin" is a more dykie version of your name, but you sure don't look like a dyke. (In your pic anyway). You look more fem. There is this movie called "Wild Saragasso Sea" & there is this kewl voodoo/Christian/French woman called "Christophine". I've taken that name but I can't decide how to spell it. Krystofene. Cristofene.
If you haven't already, you may want to discover an artist named Olivia De Berardinis. She typically just goes by "Olivia". Her works are absolutely kick ass! Although she is not a lesbian, she is intruiged with female sexuality.

Hi there Cristin!:
I am trying to find out the history of overalls and put in a request through Infoseek on the Internet to see what I could come up with. I entered your piece on overalls and your associated websites and homepages, etc.
I am a member of the Friends of the Agricultural History Farm Park in Derwood, Maryland. We are having a Steam and Gas Show on April 19-20th and I am trying to find out where overalls came from in order that I might do an interpretative talk on this subject.
If this works out then I might also be able to do a interpretative talk on overalls, etc. at another site; you see, I also am a volunteer at the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair in Gaithersburg, Maryland. I work out of the Old Timers Exhibit, although I am thirty eight years old, a federal government employee and have no family connection to farming or other aspects of agriculture.
This year during Fair Week, which is August 15-23rd, we are having a thirty-fifth celebration of the founding of the Old Timers Exhibit. It orginally came out to celebrate in 1962 the 100th anniversary of the Department of Agriculture. It was so well taken that people asked that it be continued for each fair and it has been from 1962 up to the present day. Next year will be the fifty year founding of the Fair, 1948-1998.
So, there will be lots of people running around in overalls. Since you seem to have a website on the subject... if you could tell me how I could get more knowledge of the who, what, when, where, why and how that overalls came about, I would appreicate it greatly!!!
Sincerely,
H.
Yes I went and found it niceI generaly don't get into my self but I'd like to ask you to go to my home page and read it all and tell me what you really think of it. You see I write it from the womans point of view and the feelings are driving me nuts. I hope to hear from you soon.

It'l piss a lot of closed minded people off, but what the hell!! Mae West
once said that people who are shocked easily need to be shocked more often.
I'm a bi witch myself. I am what I am and no amount of browbeating is going
to change that.
Let me tell you a story about my cousin. It's a little depressing, but it
makes a point about our so-called "society".
Russel knew he was gay when he was 14, but society looked down on that, so
he wasted most of his life trying to be something he wasn't.
He joined the Marines. Figured if he could learn to be tough, he would be
straight. No good.
He was married twice. That would surely make him straight. WRONG!!
Then he became a Born-Again-Christian. Figured god would "fix" him. So
sorry, still gay.
Finally, at age 41, he gave up and came out. Would you believe the first
guy he picked gave him AIDS?!?
Then to add insult to injury, his good christian "friends" (can I laugh),
who should have been supporting him or praying for him or something,
picketed his funeral with signs like "Another Fag Burns in Hell" and "God
Hates Fags". Isn't there something in the bible about brotherly love and
not being their place to judge?
As you can tell, I'm pissed off, but my point is that if he had been
allowed to be himself in the first place, he could have lived a full life
as a gay man instead of wasting 27 years running away from himself.
Blessed be,
Whisper

Hi cristin, I am artist leaving in infamous NJ, I don't even remember

Hi Cristin,
My name is Robbert Jansen and I have a question for you. I'm desperately seeking for info ball&socket armatures and foam which is usable for puppets. When I bumped into your homepage I thought I have to ask her.
I'm eager to make a film (8mm) in 3d Animation but I lack the proper info. I have attended a school in Animation but they weren't able to give me the proper info.

Hi Cristin,
I just read through your web page. I found it by searching on "motion tracking". I'm working on some software for 2-D motion tracking but, am coming at it blind. Would you be so kind as to direct me to some references that would be usefull for my research into this subject. I interested in stabilizing elements within film and video sequences. The JFK assination would be an example where the focus was on JFK's head, etc, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Ola
Start with pattern matching. Hint: always use normalized coordinates so you can view subsampled frames for testing purposes. Get X-trans and Y-trans first, then move on to two-point tracking to calculate rotation/zoom

First, I hope I'm not intruding. Second, I'm enrolled in a course, Lesbian Lives and Culture, and am doing research. Please help.
I'm interested in gathering information regarding lesbian self-identity, specifically how that identity is shaped/influenced, or created by self-chosen terms such as Dyke, Lesbian, Woman-Identified-Woman, Butch, and Femme.
Some questions to consider may be:
What term(s), if any, do you prefer for yourself?
Why you identify as such?
To who you identify as such?
Has there been any change in your self-description, and if so why?
If you care to specify your age, it would also be greatly appreciated since I'm attempting to trace the usage of self-designating tags across generations. Any responses are sincerely appreciated!!
In case your curious: I'm a 30 year old student at San Diego State University. I'm attempting to gain a clearer understanding of the peoples who inhabit this planet so that I can open a few minds. You see, I intend to teach public school.

Dear Cristin:
I don't believe this! Just discovered that a beautifully framed poster in my backroom (in our family for more than 60 years) is a Maxwell Parrish!
Was searching M.P. out and ran into your home page! Today is the day to meet "FAMILY". Earlier I was buying something on the auction pages on the Internet and got into a discussion with one of the sellers about her photographic talents...she is "family", too!
Hell, I'm not 'out' and NEVER meet anyone!!! Am in a happy 8 year relationship, a college prof., 50 years old and live in San Diego County. Now, I've run across you!!!
Can you please tell me ANYTHING you know about the "Daybreak" poster done by Parrish? Hell, I don't even know whether to have it insured!!!!

I was just looking around your pages,and I came to the conclusion,that I am not nuts yet, I have a ways to go before I catch up to you...
It was fun while I was here...

I'm not nuts. Really. Honest. no, not nuts. nuts!
Wow, another dyke that does puppet animation. I thought I was the only one...just kidding. However it sometimes seems that way.
I found your page while I was surfing the net for foam and armature suppliers. It's funny I'v decided to make my own armature also (put all those metalsmithing classes I took to good use!) None the less, If it's not too much trouble for you, I would appreciate any suggestions you can give for supplies. I havent done anything with puppets in over ten years, so...my list of suppliers is, well, limited.
So, that you know that my inquiry is sincere: I've been working in "traditional" 2-D animation for quite a while, about ten years. Recently I did a volunteer project with the **** Foundation and a group of kids from a high school in Marin county. We created a PSA that ABC is supposed to start airing at the end of July. I thought it would be more intresting for the kids to do some clay or puppet animation, so I sort of pushed them in that direction. Well...I had forgotten how much fun animation could be (after ten years of idiotic studio politics and somebody else's tired characters, one can become somewhat jaded.) Now I work for my self--I just quit working for other people (other than part-time gigs) and I'm working on a short I've had shelved for years. This is very liberating and very scary all at the same time...needless to say I can use all the help I can get, even if it comes in the form of advice on where to shop.
Thanks in advance for your time,
Beth

Cristin,
I pulled my wife's (Kim) overalls out of the dryer yesterday and I found that one of the clasps got chewed up. They are only about a month old, so we were irritated because they were basically ruined; however, I thought I'd go on the internet and try to find an Osh Kosh website or something like that so I could get a new damn clasp and fix Kim's overalls. I typed in "Osh Kosh" and "Overalls." All I could come up with was your website where you talk about your overalls. You seem pretty attached to your overalls, and frankly, I understand because Kim loves her overalls.
Anyway, I haven't been able to find out where I could get a new clasp, but I thoroughly enjoyed your page (you asked for comments), which basically makes up for the disappointment of the wounded overalls. But here is the kicker--Kim is a CalArts grad. Isn't it a strange and beautiful world? Good luck with your art Cristin.

Hey Cristin. Just checkin' out your webpage and I've gotta tell you, that Sonic application cracked me UP! Man, that's funny.
Do you mountain bike or road bike? I'm a mountain biker and was wondering if there are some cool trails around where you live. I lived in Palm Springs and San Diego for awhile but mostly used my bike as transportation. Now I'm back in the beautiful east coast mud but missing the desert. The grass is always greener (or is that 'the desert's always browner'?).
Well, just wanted to tell you that your page is great. I really enjoyed it.
PS: Nice shirt!
I just had to write, I stumbled across your page, through a rather odd set of events. I started on Alan Parson, wnet through some music pages, hit a Marilyn Manson Page, creeped out of there by means of a genitortuers link, and then followed the body art link.
I just had to say though, I love that shirt you are wearing on your Bio-type page.
Okay it was a pointless message, but sometimes you just feel compelled to write these things :)

Cristin,
Can not agree more with you observation. Mine is apparently responding well to antibiotics but what a drag (literally!). Drag my self here, drag my self there, feel bad, run fevers, dry hack. Mine had both my Doc and me fooled. With the pain centered about 3 inches below my right breast just above the rib line, we both thought gall bladder. Sonogram confirmed two things: I was not pregnant and it wasn't the gall bladder, xray confirmed pneumonia.
But while not the hated IV this trip I had it and several others on recent trip to ER/OR for carotid surgery--90% restriction with fresh blood clot--full blown stroke imminent with in 36 hours. Unexpected side affect was that my blood pressure returned to normal. I say unexpected because both my family doc and the surgeon said nothing about discontinuing my blood pressure medication. When I started complaining about being tired they checked my BP and said "no more."
Enjoyed poking about your page, take care, TTFN

I liked your "Why I love overalls"-site. I searched for "overalls" and found it. I also love overalls and uses them as often as I can. Sometimes it's hard to find them in Sweden, but now you can buy them almost everywhere. Yesterday I bought Lee bib-overalls in corduroy and they're very comfortable. The American type of overalls is casual wear in Sweden and not used for work. Swedish working clothes is a little bit different and only used at work.
I couldn't agree with you more. There's nothing more comfortable. It's the only way a guy can wear a (semi)jumpsuit in public without getting his ass kicked. What do you mean by custom made? I mean how are they different from any ones you would buy off the shelf?

I am a art student at the University of Dayton. I am trying to get into puppet animation.My partner Neil and I have great vision but lack in the knowledge of the field.I was wondering if you could offer any support.I especially need a way to make the armatures or find a way to purchase them.
I have been a fan of stop-motion since I was little and my parents would show me art movies and often independent animation shorts.
Thanks in advance,
Aaron
Hey there Cristin,
we have the same wierd spelling of our names! Never thought I would find someone with the same!
I am 22 and live in Australia. I hate it when people cannot spell my name, just as you do... I cosidered changing the spelling to 'Kristen' but it just doesn't suit me. I am trying to find the true origin of our name... maybe you might know?
Write back if you wish.
Cristin....
Sure, John
Go ahead, change your name to 'Kristen'

What a MAD web site you have! I was using yahoo to search for my name spelt the same way as yours (yes I was VERY bored) while in the office. I think that is is just great!!!
I am 22, live in Australia, model, and am bisexual...
I would love a reponse if you have time!
Thanks!
Cristin
I sure think people are stupid sometimes. Like the only name I will ever
see is the one you put on the bottom of the letter.
you would be suprised at the
tools availale to the savvy webmistress to ferrett out impostors, but this guy was
just plain stupid.

Hiya there you artsy person you!
I'm being annoying by writing e-mail to you not to critique your page
(which would be vastly improved if it had a background...), but rather
to ask a couple a quick questions about thy animating history.
FACTS:
Thanx great big bunches!

Hi (again!)!
No, I'm not going to pester you, I just have a couple of questions to ask you. I for one am a male (I think :-), and a heterosexual. Not that that matters to the queations I'd like to ask, but I thought I'd just say it anyway. I have no problems with homosexuals, and am actually quite good friends with a lesbian in my English class, Michelle. She is very "normal", and like most homosexuals {God, I'm beating that word to death!) does not AT ALL fit the media-induced stereotype of homosexuality.
OK, now that the legaliese is out of the way, I have a couple of
questions for ya:
1) When did you realise you were a lesbian? [Or at least "different"]
2) Isn't it annoying when people shove statistics at you just because of
you sexuality? And having taken statistics I know just how easy it is to
make them lie!
3) You may find this offensive, and it's not really any of my buisness,
but were you ever abused or raped? [standard question]
4) What group gives you the most hostility? Religious persons?
5) What religion [if any] are you?
6) Am i getting annoying yet? :-)
yes, you are.
You'll have to excuse my interest [well, actually you don't...], but
this is a small town (well, not that small, but I'm sheltered), and
Michelle is the only lesbian I know. I'd like to know if she's an
average homosexual, or what (but then who decides what "average" is...).
Yes, she is average. if she exists
Ciao for Now,
-Jackson

Subject: Words and names
Hi AGAIN!
I'm just one durned persistant feller, ain't I!
Anyway, this is in response to the fact that "straight people get
flustered when you use the words dyke or queer". Now, as open-minded as
I am, I still get flustered at those words...just for different reasons.
QUEER:
I, for one, am a classic Sci-Fi fan, so most of what I read at an early age was really old school stuff (Early Asimov, etc.), and "queer" was used, back then, do describe something strange. I incorporated it into my vocabulary, and just can't seem to get rid of it! Thusly when I mean to say that something is "weird" or "lame", I occasionally say "queer", which makes people think I hate homosexuals or something. It bad.
DYKE:
Come on, go easy on us behind-the-times straight people! :-) I for one
had some problems with "dyke" at first too, since I had absolutely no
idea what it meant in its "new" context. I too, thought it had something
to do with Holland and water. I git it now, though, and am qute "cool
wit' dat".
Maybe you could have a list of homosexual-related terms and their meanings, to starighten out those heteros who don't have it together yet...
Anyway, this has been WAAAY to much e-mail for one night. NO MORE! I promise:-)
Fortunately, after three mails, the guy shut up.
