What the fuck have I done to my eyes but read every single one of the articles on "JC" Leroy at http://www.jtleroy.com/press/articles/Atheywrote.htm [For the uninitiate: 'JC' instead of 'JT' in our argot signifies "Just Come Out" as in 'somewhat clueless,' as in 'Just a Child,' as in 'Not Quite Hip Enough.'] And all I can say is: Why BOTHER over whether JC will produce again, or not? One writer even worried the artist was on the "Truman Capote Highway". Wasn't that the first dark example...

Sarah was great. I guess my experience differs from others in that I read The Heart is Deceitful first, then Sarah. So I got the back story before getting the main story. But for me after reading Heart, Sarah seemed almost like a comedy by comparison.

As much as I would love to say a fragrance topic would totally turn me out. I dare say many folks here are more the essential oil and "natural musk" types. I am amazed at how much body funk I encounter on any given night out on the town in NYC. Especially the gay boys. I think B.O. is the patchouli of the '04.

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.

I never went to Le Jardin. (some things actually were before my time) but Chi Chi and I worked with John Addison (the owner of Le Jardin and Xenon) later on. What a character! The music was so happy back then. I was listening to Larry Levan recorded at The Paradise Garage the other day and I was really surprised by how hopeful the music was. Everything was so new that anything seemed possible. (of course being 17 doesn't hurt either) When I go hear "Big Room" DJs now the music seems so dark.
