Christina is a George Washington University student who shaved her head to raise money for kids with cancer.  I first spotted her in Dupont Circle (déjà vu anyone?) and it took me five blocks to chase her down.  I trotted up New Hampshire, through Corcoran, up 17th, across R, past 16th and then just before 14th I finally reached her.  A half mile.  She’s a fast walker.

She also writes a new music blog called MmmHmmMusic.  After going through her posts I discovered “JJ,” a Swedish indie-pop band (check out a song called Ecstasy).  Plus her blog refreshed my memory of Air France.  Air France has a remix of a Friendly Fires song called “Skeleton Boy,” which I also recommend.  If you want to get my ear, know that I’m a sucker for French or Swedish trip-hop.

Anyway, I see Audrey Hepburn in her gaze but I’m most reminded of Natalie Portman when she shaved her head in V for Vendetta.  Hollywood aside, Christina’s karma is also abuzz.  You did a very cool thing for those kids.
