A few months ago, a mutual friend introduced me to hand and body-part model, Adele Uddo. I was immediately smitten. Now, I know what you are thinking, it’s the “parts” that captured my attention, but that’s not true. Well, it is true to a certain extent, holy hell, I have a pulse, don’t I? But Adele is much more that just the sum of those beautiful parts. Not only is she not too hard on the eyes, she is intelligent, witty, quirky, and lovable…a few of my favorite things.
Adele’s relatively new blog, Hand Jobs: Tale of a Hand Model, is a source of great personal joy and insight. It’s my opinion that Southerners are great storytellers, and Adele is no exception to my rule. Chronicling her journey from a child of great culinary (among other) privilege in New Orleans to being uprooted and transplanted on a raw-vegetable, hippie commune in California.
Adele expounds upon the remarkable tales of traveling cross country in a bus named the Mars Hotel; the pleasures and paranoia of adult prescribed, prepubescent drug use (she is NOT a Native American), the heart break of trying to fit into a “normal” school life without ingesting preservatives and meat-byproducts, and the interaction of real-life characters most likely experienced by most of us only through the scripts of a sitcom.
I invite you to sit in on our conversation about parts…Adele’s, and the ones that run a little more than skin deep.

I CAN’T STOP GRINNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Adele is hysterical and so so talented! Loved this interview and LOVE her blog!!
Adele is hilarious AND gorgeous! More, more, more! Very funny, very entertaining!
Firstly, love the podcasts – they are very easy to listen to! I often feel like we’re all just sitting in the living room, and I could chime in at any point. I suppose that point is now.
Adele, I love your humility. But I don’t think blogs are self-indulgent. I believe, if a person is compelled to write, there is a reason. As a writer, your first obligation is to get your thoughts on ‘paper’. The rest is in the hands of those who read it. I could go on for hours about the obligations of the reader, but that’s not for here – ha!
I’m with Mindschmootz on this one. I am so grateful for thought-provoking and intelligent blogs like yours, and I thank the geek gods the internet allows me to see them, no matter where I am in the world.
Keep sharing and writing – both of you!
