fantasy

um hi

Fantasy in literature is so stultifying.

This brings to mind Ayn Rand.

I don’t really know what planet she was writing about.

If she had lived to see the future, she would have been astounded by all the big rip-offs selling us out to special interests!

For such a brilliant woman, she seemed rather naive.

Unaware that if you played by the rules, and the possibility existed that you might actually win the game, then more likely than not, your enemies would change the rules, making you a loser.

So “Atlas Shrugged” –big deal.

If you decide to quit, there are many others desiring to replace you, commensurate with you success. Your successor may not be as talented as you were, but the system doesn’t really care! Don’t let the door hit you on the way out bub.

I read an account of Ayn Rand having visited an all boy’s prep school, wearing a short skirt,

thereby causing a sensation among those present. She was no doubt charismatic. As a person she sounds way more interesting than her writing ever could be.

At a young age I read the monumental “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, and really can’t waste any more time on fantasy.

When unemployed during the eighties, I read Thomas Pynchon’s epic tome “Gravity’s Rainbow,” which verges on fantasy. We really don’t need any more writers trying to emulate Pynchon!

Same with the Harry Potter books. The author herself is way more interesting than a bunch of rubbish, as the British would say, about witches and such. Truly amazing how she came from nowhere to become such a success.

Modern society has a tendency to chew up people like sticks of gum before spitting them out, producing an abundance of  washed-up-has-beens.

*******************************************************

last month’s mystery photo is kandi barbour.

here she is looking very much like marie osmond:

kandi was in the movie:

Riding in a school bus, while singing a beatles song – I forget which one– hugh hefner and the beatles set forces in motion, resulting in porn going from the underground to becoming a major industry by the seventies.

Incidentally, there was a magazine in which kandi barbour had her hair a certain way, thereby, looking very much like Marie  Osmond.

The early seventies: While the Jacksons were in Encino, the Osmonds’, who were primarily located outside cal, did have a house in LA on Osborne and nordoff  on the way to the panorama theatre in panorama city!

movie star news

 

um hi

brie259

Here is the Movie Star News building in NYC, where Bettie Page posed for pictures and made videos upstairs:

The business was run by Irving  Klaw and his sister Paula. They sold photos of Hollywood movie stars in addition to the glamour photos and videos.

I don’t know much about female impersonator Vickie Lynn

vickielynn

 

, but “she” must have been the top female impersonator in NY during the 1950’s, since “she” starred in the film “Teaserama” with queen of curves Bettie Page:

Thanks ever so much Bettie.

Answer to last month’s mystery photo is Hillary Summers:

I’m not really a mystical person, but back in 1986, I would  obtain my unemployment check, then I would celebrate by going to a porno theatre — in Santa Clara not far from San Jose (I never bought a VCR until about 1990), after parking the 74 Dodge Dart about one block from the Rosicrucian Egyptian museum, thereupon I saw “The Budding of Brie” starring Hillary Summers on the big screen as it was originally intended. Afterword I would eat across from the Winchester Mystery House at either the Greek or the Iranian restaurant.

Oh! Mr. Riccoco!

um hi

holly Mccall driving up the hill in her VW bug [I can’t drive a stick shift!]
— looks like the santa monica mountains of los angeles (not marin county near frisco) to meet Mike  Ranger (best looking male porn star ever!)– looks just like someone, who had a television show in los angeles, then later acted in movies, before doing porn — but i can’t verify
it.

secretary1

(hey! look at all those books! the former actor went on to write screenplays, but i still have not proven the identity, and i don’t want to get into trouble by claiming something that might not be true, even though i would almost bet money that’s the same person!)    

brie as holly:

q3050053

anyway, the best photos of holly were taken when she was wearing a woman’s army uniform. looks like the person running her website thinks so too! the uniform fits her so perfectly that one wonders:

was she in the army –probably not

guard or reserve?  –possibly.

or did she buy the uniform at an army – navy surplus store in los angeles?
