Wild Thing

Where the mountain lions roam is where Lynn Goodman lives. The wild streak in our amiable advertising rep shimmered through when she convincingly portrayed Fay Wray — complete with friendly gorilla — during All Hallows’ Eve this year, though the buzz in her Ojai neighborhood of big-cat sightings has kept her from roaming the trails in these drought times. The newspaper world is new ground for Lynn, who’s something of an expert from the looks of things, having a bachelor’s degree in design and an interiors gig for a home builder in the recent past. Her friends still ask for her help when decorating, and she mentioned a feeling of partiality for Ojai’s pink moments. “It’s when the sunset hits the Topatopa mountains just right,” she explained, “or the name of a drink.”
