Chrissy
In addition to helping maintain an essential gender balance on the Board,
Chrissy brings a fresh geographical perspective. Living on an
isolated stretch of pristine land in deep suburban Minnesota, Chrissy
tells of the harsh reality that comes with living on this bitter
plane. "In the winter months -- and by that I mean late July through
early May -- this place can be pretty unforgiving," she says. "I
mean, you step outside your house, and you die of exposure in 30 seconds
tops."
"So around here, we lead a different kind of life," she continues.
"We like to duct tape sleeping bags to our bodies, cut holes in the
feet, and fire up the DVD
player. And if the food supply runs low, then by God we're not afraid to eat
each other."
But Chrissy's "appetite" is clearly at its most voracious where movies are
involved. Upon joining the RFB in late 2002, she clocked in with a
whopping 175 ratings for existing RFB flicks -- a total that exceeded all
other members with the exceptions of Kilty and JT. "Oh, you'd better
believe I'll be adding some volume to the Board," Chrissy says
confidently. "Sure, the rule against sending in ratings for porn
will hurt me, but I'll just have to make the adjustment."
One final
interesting angle to watch closely as Chrissy's tenure ramps up: The
expected disparity between her ratings and those of the RFB's other female
member, Mamakins. Though lifelong friends, these two often weigh in
with very different opinions on everything from fashion to politics.
Reached for comment, the Mamakins was unrelenting: "I already noticed
Chrissy gave 'The Sixth Sense' a 10. You know what I say to that?
I see dumb people!" When told of this insult, Chrissy was quick to
retort: "Look, this is coming from a woman who saw fit to marry The Pops
-- enough said."
Wow, an
interesting angle to watch, indeed.
