I was commissioned by The Independent Weekly to do a song about Joey "Jaws" Chestnut" who is competitive eater, hoping to win the hot dog championship on July 4.  It was a fun song to do, but the really exciting part is that there was an article written about it that you can read here.  The highlight of the article, for me, was this picture:

In the summer, my main job is that of writing songs for my  Custom Song Writing business. My latest is notable because it turned out pretty well, but also because the recipient of the song is such an interesting person.

His name is T. Colin Dodd, and he has made a fair portion of his living by pretending to be someone else on the internet.  He was the writer behind what has been called "the world's first email soap opera", in which he wrote emails to fans as though they were from a Calvin Klein model.  If I were to try to describe the scheme in detail, it would probably be jumbled and confusing, but you can read a clear account of it in  Wired Magazine. 

After his endeavors with Calvin Klein, he went on to assume the role of Myra Vanderhood and wrote a blog all about blog about Pheretones (ringtones that attract). 

In addition to all of this, he's played in bands and worked on movies.  All this said, I had plenty of great information which with to write this song;

Here is what he looked like as a young man;
