IRKED!

I'm so tired of these websites that won't allow nudity 
-- or -- 
"pornographic" (a matter of opinion) pics!

Fascists.

I'm talking about FaceBook and Pinterest, for example.   


This was the pic Pinterest recently 
deleted from my stash:


Why are so many people offended by 
the human body?
I'll answer: It's their own insecurity.
Americans need to adopt the European attitude, 
which is more relaxed and 
seeing a naked body as a beautiful thing!

MY BUDDY

It's with a heavy heart that I report 
a mentor of mine has passed.

MORTON SLAKOFF

I not only learned from him, but when I did, 
he made it fun. 
He had a wicked infectious sense of humor and 
no one could tell a story like Mort!
He was a traveling buddy, a tremendous support, 
and a loving friend 

I can't even imagine a world without this 
"larger than life" man.

I Love You, Mortie

L to R:  Rhoda 
(his wife of over 60 years 
and my best girl), 
Mark, Mort, Dann

Addendum: 
Mort died with dignity, strength, and acceptance.
In his last day, he was surrounded by friends and family, while classical music hummed in the background (he was an uber culture extraordnaire, especially opera and music).

While one of his grandsons was holding his hand and crying, Mort said, "Don't cry. Death is a part of life."

Mort's parting words, "I'm ready. Remember me."

~ as if any of us who knew him, could not.

May I have enough courage to transition like this!

IT'S TIME TO STOP THIS MONSTER. 
THE MAN IS DANGEROUS.
HE'S A BULLY. . . AND MORE.
LET'S GET REAL PEOPLE!

CONTINUALLY CARRIE!

IN BED WITH CARRIE FISHER!


How could I forget this moment?  
It started an avalanche of meeting notables, 
a writing career, and it launched
IN BED WITH DANN & KELLY.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away . . .

HOLLY WOODLAWN

What a spirit this girl had! 
It was fun being in her company as something always, always happened extraordinary.
Can't believe she's left the planet . . . 

Read the interview I did with her a few years back:
