The air-brushed woman.

An interview with May Pang, John Lennon's one-time lover during Lennon's infamous "lost weekend" period. Sometime it's bizarre (Pang relates she was given a small statue of John by the Liverpool tourist information office on a recent visit), sometimes just sad - Pang repeatedly uses the "air-brush" metaphor to describe her feelings that she's been edited out of the "official" Lennon history.

Pang has a web site, where she sells a jewelry line called the "May Pang Feng Shui Jewelry Collection," pricey stainless steel necklaces. She also says she's working on a photography exhibit about Lennon. With the same kind of weird feeling as the interview, her FAQ is also worth a read... a personal "Frequently Asked Questions" that's all about someone else.
