Hopefully, this will go through.<br /><br />I accidentally got stuck on the 'prove you're not a robot' bit, because it was trying to talk to me. Have you ever 'listened' to the words in the 'prove you're not a robot'? A guess I hit that button and couldn't get back. Frightening! It sounds like what I suspect was going through Ted Bundy's head while going upstairs to the sorority attack.<br /><br />So, I found that you have an ‘Issue 20’, which I’m sending for. Please hold one for me, if you’re low on them, and if they are not sold out. Due to Memorial day, the check will be in the mail on Tuesday. I’m really interested to see the updated Disneyland article.<br /> <br />Have you done any blogs or zines about the current state of 'being a movie star'? I would love to see your take on that sort of thing. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place? I have had this nagging question in my head…”Who said THAT PERSON gets to be famous?” I often think that while channel checking, and see some new young thing (male and female) with all the trappings of stardom. Or Star-Dumb. Who decides that they get to be famous? <br /><br />I think you are brilliant, so, I'm guessing you could out-do TMZ and their ilk on the current state of star-hood. Excuse me for suggesting anything to you, your mind is on another level than mine. But, If you have something recent like this, either blog or zine, please let me know. If you find the subject boring, I can also understand. Just researching the Kardashian’s would be vomit inducing, even though Kim’s a modern day sex kitten. Just by using her looks she became famous, Jayne Mansfield did this too, but had actual talent.<br /><br />Also, I do love the way you think and write. You could kill on that subject.<br /><br /> I enjoyed your Film Noir blog, (my spell check wanted to put 'Film NAIR', which to me would be some sort of a film about hair removal. <br /><br /> A film like that would have to be the prequel to that ‘scary movie’ about sex education and ‘getting your period’ we girls watched in 5th grade, back in the 60s. It was filmed in the early 50s, so it was way out-of-date to us at the time, which gave it some comic relief. I’d love to see ‘THE PERIOD MOVIE’ again, it was such a menacing, scary thing to us at that age. I’m sure it would be hilarious now. I remember it was the extent of my ‘education about growing up’ from my mother. She handed me the approval slip to take to school and said this: “There’s going to be a movie tomorrow, pay attention.” That was the only thing she ever told me about ‘growing up, or sex’. Even at the time, I thought that was amusing. Fortunately, I had an older sister.<br /> <br />Thanks John Marr, for your old zines. They've really held up over time, and the subject matter is of course, timeless.<br /><br />Pat BlackUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763862584167859529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899273021302904724.post-82100460585794256772012-05-27T12:23:50.896-07:002012-05-27T12:23:50.896-07:00Hello John:

I liked the part ...This is truly, exquisitely good. I liked the part about an arrested case of syphillis. Venereal disease is something you just don't get everyday. And in literature, it really spices things up with that little touch of reality. Having worked as a funeral director, I have many wonderful experiences with death, whom I am proud to claim as a dear personal friend, and reading about other people's real life deaths is simply enriching. Thanks for your zine. Someday I'm gonna buy some of them. When are you going to do some more?Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14178836750261297057noreply@blogger.com
