For (technically) the second installment of Blogs j'adore, I've decided to spotlight my favorite blogger from the Big Apple: Deana of Dooder City. Often gracing us with tales of her life in the big city, each day Deana basically sums up my taste with a simple handful of photos. She's obsessed with Jimmy Page, loves Pink Floyd, and digs the Allman Brothers... Need I say more? I'll let her divine answers do the talking. P.S. She emailed me a few days after I received her finished questionnaire, and asked if it was too late to add Levon Helm as a crush. (Me being the lazy, albeit busy, person that I am received this email about a week ago -- despite promising her it'd be up within a day or two. Sorry!) Of course not, it's never too late to add Levon Helm as a crush. Loving Levon Helm is great, and loving Levon Helm and Robbie Robertson at the same time is even greater. Anyway, here's your peek into Dooder City!
