Re: Swept Away part 2
Either they will settle, or they will win, because I saw the pics Madonna Accused of Picture Piracy and they are almost EXACT replicas of his work... Interesting, because when I saw the video in Berlin for the first time, and snarkily remarked to Sherry & Eve while we watched that this didn't seem new and just seemed a redux (of something but none of us could pinpoint it exactly). Well, her "inspiration" is clear now...

Re: International Chrysis
I wish I could've at least seen Chrysis in person. She was the first tg person I ever came across, in a book. What an inspiration. So excited I had to show my parents. they flipped seeing my interests for the first time.(I was 16) But wow, only saw her in Q&A, and that Van Halen video. Both probably gave little chance to show the real her. Happy Holidays.

Re: International Chrysis
The video was for their version of "Pretty Woman". It was briefly shown on MTV in its early days (1982?). It was degrading to women, and to Chrysis, who at the end had a wig pulled off her head as shock value, plus she was tied up on I think a swing. Probably tame considering what are shown in videos now.. Never seen it listed anywhere to view again. It was unforgettable none the less because she was so beautiful.

I would love not to know any of this is happening. It would make me feel less cynical about humanity.

I'm just below that (West 26th) but by mid-August 21 I feel sure this "no fly" zone will be extended. I just hope the cat-sitters will not need ID to get on the block.
