Re: I'm from normal parents (The Pyramid Club Topic)
Oh, Billy, I had NO idea there were pictures! I recall a tiny tea cart that we bought for $10 and used for "beverage service" and the barf bags... I also remember endless interruptions of the disco music with safety instructions ("Two in the front, two over the wings, and two in the back" and "In the unlikely event of a water landing...") Also, wasn't the next month's theme "News 101" with you as the Asian anchorwoman with your eyes taped?

Gosh how i miss her. I used to stop in and visit her at her loft and have tea and smoke pot and laugh. She was a true genius. What a great face and a great laugh. She must trully reside in the artist section of Heaven. Greer was a great soul, I miss her. A Legend.i

Re: Jo-Jo Baby - DollMaker
Jo-Jo, a beautiful statement, and very insightful.

Bobby, Hi hons. It is nice to know you are getting some more fats on ya! Did you know fat makes estrogen?

This topic has moved me no end, and since Greer was first and foremost an ArtMaker, I have moved her topic here from NYC Girls.

Re: Miss Understood's Thailand 2003!

Re: boy george
Boy George was one of my biggest heroes as a teen. As a child I had already seen Elton John, Alice Cooper, David Bowie, KISS and so on, but Boy George was My Generation and hit the scene as a huge star when I was in high school. I was so captivated, it was like he had beat all the odds and was being celebrated for being a freak. Of course his whole androgyny slant was a huge inspiration to me as an artist. But he was not just an image. He had real talent, and the band had serious musical...

Re: East Side, West Side, All Around The Town
It's not a scam, just capitalism's supply and demand in motion. Unprocessed food like brown rice always cost more even though it should be cheaper to produce. If people would just eat better healthy food would be cheaper. People are easily fooled by marketing. They think Snapple is healthy because of marketing campaigns. It's not much different from Kool Aid. When I was a kid the "healthy" drink was Hi C because it was sugar water with a teaspoon of "REAL JUICE!". Now we have sugar water...

I must admit that DD's coffee is surprisingly good for a fast food joint. Who knew? And Missy, things like "instant" iced tea are concepts I just don't get. And bottled salad dressing. Salad dressing takes 15 seconds to make from scratch. 2 seconds more than it takes to unscrew the Wishbone's cap off. That's convenient?

The time: 1973. The place: NYC. I had just moved there and was doing hair on 57th street at a tony salon.
