Alpo — SST's Sweater-Girl Sweetheart

So... is she, or isn't she? This is the question that has long baffled the Alpo watchers on SST. And there are many of them because Alpo is one of our most popular lady captains.

SST's original sweater girl, Alpo is a Californian by birth rather than by medical procedure. She lives close to the San Andreas Fault Line and is a great fan of earthquakes. Many of you may have heard on the grapevine that she has often expressed a desire to feel the Earth move.

Her musical tastes veer strongly towards the classical, but her choice of book titles seems much more eclectic. You may meet her on The Readers' Vine where she is known as AvonVerona Shakespeare. Her choice of character there combines her love of middle-period history and of the Bard's works. Whatever else she may be, she is certainly a very intelligent lady, and SST would be much the poorer without her seemingly indefatigable enthusiasm. She lists her hobbies as horse riding, wearing leather and saving tiggers.

Listen now to what others have to say about her:

Tom Cruise: “Oh wow, I tell you that Alpo, she's really cool, like you know? But I'd bet, you know, that it would be just impossible to get a date with her.”

Sean Connery: “Now why couldn't she have been a Bond Girl? I have to put up with the likes of Ursula Andress and Jill St John when there are ladies like Alpo around — looks like Cubby Broccoli really missed a trick there.”

Lord Bathgate of Strathspey: “Hoo hoo, oh my word, yes!”

Lady Bathgate of Strathspey: “Such a sweet face for such a brazen, shameless, immoral, improperly dressed and completely uninteresting girl.”

Joe Liddlewalker (Hot Fat Operative #3, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Leamington Spa): “Yeah, neat-looking chick, she is. Cor, I should say so.”
