The crew at Green Apple had a movie legend in their midst today. Film director John Waters was at the store to sign copies of his new book, Role Models, a collection of profiles of the director’s favorite personalities. More from the Green Apple website:

Role Models is, in fact, a self-portrait told through intimate profiles of favorite personalities—some famous, some unknown, some criminal, some surprisingly middle-of-the-road. From Esther Martin, owner of the scariest bar in Baltimore, to the playwright Tennessee Williams; from the atheist leader Madalyn Murray O’Hair to the insane martyr Saint Catherine of Siena; from the English novelist Denton Welch to the timelessly appealing singer Johnny Mathis—these are the extreme figures who helped the author form his own brand of neurotic happiness.

Don’t you just love his expression in that photo?! If you want one of the autographed copies of his book, stop by Green Apple Books at 506 Clement Street or call them at 387-2272 to reserve one.
