Yin and Yang

Let me introduce you to two ends of the totem pole.
This is my aunt, Ann Castillo. Artistic performer, hiker, and part-time spaz.
Other aliases? Annie, Ann Louise, Vannie, Van Luvise, Gertrude McFuzz
Physical description? Sunned blonde hair, contagious laugh, one hand welded to bowl of sweet potato fries
Usual followers? Fellow thespians, nieces and nephews, and an occasional jealous yoga instructor
Best quote? Too many to name, but one involving a donut comes to mind
This is a Google acquaintance, Ana Castillo. Mexican-American novelist, essayist, and poet. (No word on the spaz.)
Other aliases? Chica
Physical description? Red lips and a sometimes moustache
Usual followers? Lesbian literature-buffs
Best quote? "I'm concerned about the brown women in black-and-white America."
I do have a favorite Ann Castillo, but I'm probably biased, considering we share the same blood.

I MUST meet this woman! Every Yin should meet their Yang don't you think? You are oh so witty! I can't wait to read the rest!
