Re: Remembering Terence Sellers aka Mistress Angel Stern
Terence left this Earth this past month, I am deeply saddened that she is now gone from it. When I met Terence she was a very serious, striking and commanding person so I was certainly intimidated, it was obvious I was dealing with an intellectual so I needed to be at my best behavior and my most attentive in her presence. She was an accomplished writer, a luminary in the New York underground, and a maestra of an art I'd only read about; she could make the most debauched intellectual blush...

Re: David Wojnarowicz - Artist
when I saw you last at Jackie 60, but I was too shy to approach ... my boyfriend, ever the art and underground enthusiast, is a great fan of the art and writings of David Wojnarowicz and has been completely blown away by "Seven Miles a Second". In reading Mr. Wojnarowicz's bio to me, the band name 3 Teens Kill 4, kept sticking out in my head. It occurred to me at Jackie where I knew it from, are you not one of the founding members of that band? Perhaps next time we see you out, or somewhere...

Daddy-D: I promise not to dreg up emotions too often. And someday, you and Chi Chi will have to let me write a bit about your early exploits. This is something I look forward to. You know, one of the first conversations I had with Rose, maybe about four years ago, was about whether or not I could come in to Mother early one night just to interview her. She seemed to me to have stories untold of amazing interest (however since there was no place to publish such tales) I did not pursue the...

Re: Straight To Hell (Sex Stories)
D3.12.1-3. flesh We were locked in an underground cavern. There was some sort of starlet leading our decent. She had long brown hair. Straight, silky, thick, red highlights and parted in the middle, it was very seventies -- it was very seductive. She would stop sometimes and turn to see if we were still following her. Then she'd giggle. I'd have been scared I think if I'd been alone. But, although I could see no one else, I felt the presence of others. It was like that 'watching' you feeling...

Re: Rice Queens - The Anne Rice topic
I have many great things I wish to accomplish today (as every day). But I wanted to share my copy of Pandora with Mother's Rice Queens -- especially in timing with this coming event. This book means a great deal to me. In addition to it's amazing beauty, the purchase of it taught me one of the most valuable lessons in my life with regards to appreciating the quality of my life.

Re: JC Leroy (as Terence put it)
Certainly the detailing of the permutations in the sex trade are right on the money, not only accurate but emotionally correct. Beautiful imagery, great argot, fantastical Americana... This book has done what it was meant to: has elevated its writer out of a pretty bad life. So was he really a lot-lizard? A book that attempts to get one out of an underground imposes yet another fate on the writer: one discovers one may be damned by one's subject matter; and ironically cannot ever avoid the...

Re: East Side, West Side, All Around The Town
The new clubs reported to be gearing up in Chelsea are more a reaction of opportunism. Although I am sure some backers and producers are really inspired and want to bring the city back to life partywise. The club going in to the old Twilo space, which is supposedly going to be called Spirit, would be the most different concept being put to the test, is actually a franchise from its Irish flagship, and if you ask me its ammenities ( a raw food restaurant, a resident dance company ) are a kind...

Re: !BadAss! Burlesque commits Idolatry TONIGHT!
The first show was smashing with loads of great peaks that brought the house to a roar. The venue has enough dark underground appeal to show off the performances in a suitably enhancing vibe. BOB was inspirational. Abby dropped choice and hilarious intros. Ammo had everyone on their feet cheering. All the performances were tough, sweet and supersexed, when Velocity takes a bath, Martini becomes the house maid and BOB simply gets ready for work you are in the company of hard working women.

Bobby, I think you need to write a book on the past legends of New York. There really needs to be a book on the 80's and 90's scene beside the all known murder case of 96, which helped destroy the underground of New York. You have enough pictures that need to be seen!

How a screw up like me ended up being the emcee . . . that had a lot to do with Mark Oates. But that phone ringing meant "Showtime" Finally in the "Cuchifritos" or "Hapi's BackDoor" days (daze - it's all a grey (gardens) blur) the tech-phone broke and no one was there who could or cared to fix it.

George is an awesome DJ! Who give a shit about the Culture Club reunion, and who need that bitter queen Jon Moss anyway! George knows how to rock the party. I wish that he'd release a new mix CD out in the States (or as an androgynous voice on Sasha's Global Underground in San Francisco says, "The British Colonies".
