CHUTES AND LADDERS, AUGUST

PHOTO BY RASY RAN

Michelle Staubach Grimes may be the daughter of one of Dallas Cowboy’s most beloved quarterbacks but she doesn’t take herself too seriously. When Advocate photographer Rasy Ran asked her to climb into a laundry chute, she was happy to oblige. After all, laundry chutes play a pivotal role in her first children’s book, “Where is Pidge?” which we wrote about in August. Though adorable, this picture didn’t make it to print because Ran felt the dog, who inspired one of the characters in Grimes’ story, looked disinterested. Point taken. He’s clearly unimpressed by the cameras.
