It only lasted for about a year.

I think it was during the first grade.

Patty

and I formed a bond, as if we were an old married couple. Perhaps I met my soul mate, when we were too young to benefit from it?


We were almost always together. I didn’t really understand any reason for the attraction, but we were extremely comfortable together. One day the toughest kid in the school came upon us on a street corner. He seemed disturbed that I was with Patty, and started to hassle me into a fight. I was terrified as he knew ju jitsu, and I had seen him destroy another kid in a fight at school, still punching the other kid in the face even while the opponent was crying!


Amazingly, Patty stepped in between us and somehow defused the situation, knowing just what to say and how to say it.


Somehow my association with Patty suddenly ended, when I became best friends with Billy, though Billy and I were like two girls anyway!

Right! The Panorama theatre

at Nordoff St and Van Nuys Blvd

had a soundproof crying room with speakers for mommies and their babies. Also, I think there was a pizza place and a hobby shop next to the Panorama.


I remember seeing “Forbidden Planet”, “War of the Worlds”, the original “Parent Trap”, and “the Alamo!”


Once invited to sit with the girls. Magna

was the cutest girl in the school, but I thought she had a tough boyfriend, who would knock my head off!


Also, saw the sublimely prefect “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” there. Visited the old neighborhood last year (Arleta — used to be Pacoima). The Hebrew school on Beachy and Osborne is no longer there, but the building still exists. Around 1980 noticed Spanish language movies playing at the Panorama. Last year noticed the Panorama sign was still there.


Finally, saw “The Time Machine” there — going into the future where the Morlocks have taken over!

Harry Reems

um hi

Mostly from the LATimes:

Harry Reems, who starred with Linda Lovelace

in the 1972 pornographic film “Deep Throat”

and became a cause celebre in Hollywood after he was convicted on federal obscenity charges related to the movie, has died. He was 65.

Reems died Tuesday at a Salt Lake City veterans hospital.

He arrived on the Miami set of “Deep Throat” as the lighting director but when the man hired to portray the doctor in the film failed to show up, director Gerard Damiano said: “Put on this coat; you’re acting,” Reems told The Times in 2005.

At first he enjoyed the celebrity that accompanied starring in one of the most successful pornographic films of all time.

In 1974 when he was charged along with 10 others with conspiring to distribute “Deep Throat” across state lines.

It marked the first time that the federal government had tried to charge an actor for the results of a film’s distribution.

After he was convicted in 1976, The Times ran an editorial in defense of Reems under the headline “The Anti-Freedom Conspiracy” and pointed out that noted constitutional lawyer Alan Dershowitz had volunteered to handle Reems’ legal appeal.

“If this conviction stands, no actor and no writer anywhere in the country will be safe from prosecution,” Dershowitz said, according to the editorial.

Hollywood’s A-list also took note. Celebrities such as Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty and Gregory Peck helped raise funds to pay Reems’ legal bills.

Reems was granted a new trial but the charges were eventually dropped.

The damage to his personal life had been done. While waiting to go on trial, “the heavy drinking began in Memphis,” Reems said in 2005 in The Times, and he became a “2-quart-a-day vodka drinker” who at one time lived “in the back of an Albertsons’ dumpster in Malibu.”

He didn’t stop drinking until the late 1980s, when he ended up in Park City, Utah, and entered a 12-step alcohol recovery program.

Once sober, he sold real estate.

The son of a small-time bookie and a housewife, he was born Herbert Streicher on Aug. 27, 1947, in New York City. At 18, he joined the Marines but received a hardship leave when his father became terminally ill.

Returning to New York in 1967, he acted in experimental and Off-Off-Broadway productions but turned to adult films when he couldn’t pay his bills, according to a 2011 New York magazine article titled “The Afterlife of a Porn Star.”

He went on to appear in more than 100 hard-core films that included 1973’s “The Devil in Miss Jones.”

[Georgina Spelvin

&

had the starring role.]

Reems also was interviewed in the 2005 documentary “Inside Deep Throat.”

In the late 1970s, he moved to Los Angeles and secured a role as a coach in “Grease” but was let go because filmmakers feared his notoriety would jeopardize the box office in the South, according to the New York profile.

“Acting was my true love,” Reems told the magazine, “and I buried that possibility by going into adult films.”

Survivors include his wife, Jeanne, whom he married in 1990, and a brother.

Mrs. N from the analog days

um hi

brie from the video Lola:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNu14c6KhGQ

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

Reading “All Quiet on the Western Front” during the

Tet Offensive.

The book was assigned by Mrs. N.

a wonderful English teacher.

Driving with Chuck to Pasadena, around midnight, laying low after committing malicious mischief, with “I Wonder What She’s Doing Tonight?” playing on the car radio, traversing our way to the all-night coffee shop on Colorado Blvd., as cop sirens blare ineffectually back in La Crescenta from where we departed, and while B-52’s are either dropping bombs on Viet Nam or being readied to do so.

Subsequently,

Chuck came by to check on the progress of the 6 inchers and the 9 inchers (low explosives).

Since he enjoyed being sneaky, he coasted his car down the driveway with the lights off to within inches of my abode, which consisted of a detached garage converted to a two story apartment, with what used to be a kitchen, and a usable bathroom though the shower was shabby. So I took baths in the main house during the analog days.

Chuck worked various jobs and had over a thousand bucks in the bank!

He financed my explosives research and development. I would send away to Echo products of New Jersey, which used to advertise in the back of Popular Science. The materials for building bombs were delivered by U.P.S., since the post office wouldn’t handle them.I would grab the package left on the front porch before mom came home from work.

One time Chuck came over and we watched “The Smothers Brothers” on the black & white television,

while he wolfed down his KFC chicken dinner not offering me any.

After being up really late at night delivering 6 inchers and 9 inchers, I would make sure I would show up in class the next day no matter how exhausted to avert suspicion.

The “Man from Uncle” exploding pellets weren’t any good, since the iodine crystals needed ammonia from a chemical supply house rather than just household ammonia from the supermarket,

whereas the 6 inchers and 9 inchers were awesome beyond belief.

Two rolls of toilet paper fit over a 9 incher with the water proof guta percha fuse protruding from the middle. This made quite a mess when exploded:

“My yard was a disgrace!”

I would spend summers downstairs in the garage unit, and winters upstairs, while studying math, physics, and chemistry, trying to make something of myself.

Would get off wearing mom’s panties, and nylons

for additional kicks to relieve the pressure.

A Hoffman television, Hallicrafters radio, and a Shirley Temple pitcher

in the Arleta house located in the San Pornando Valley (Los Angeles, California), which actually had an incinerator for burning trash in the back yard, but not for long as they were banned due to the smog situation. Perhaps the radio was purchased from the Big 5, which started as 5 Army/Navy surplus stores in Los Angeles?

Peep Show

Traveling in the Oldsmobile, jumping onto highway 33 somewhere south of Stockton, going about 100 MPH, but slowing down for occasional towns, past Firebaugh, heading south beyond the James Dean cutoff, which goes to Paso Robles,  and onward toward Los Angeles –one of many trips from the ranch in Rio Linda back to LA. It was a hot summer day with the air conditioning in the Oldsmobile cranking. I was in the back seat, and the stepmom

decided to lift her dress, enabling the cool air from the air conditioner better access. Suddenly, the driver of a big-rig truck from the other direction in the opposite lane toots his horn in appreciation for the free peep show!

From the back seat I could only see the dress being lifted up and some of the nylon clad legs.

Continuing on to the Maricopa Highway, to converge on Highway 99, over the grapevine, pass the amazing LA Aqueduct, and then on to mighty Los Angeles!

The land north of Los Angeles county used to be desert until the advent of the California Water Project –now there are rutabagas and other such stuff growing.

showing she is the best at what she does:


I like the new look!

Janet should make at least one video, where she is wearing a cute school girl outfit such as this:

or

or even a cheerleader:

She might think she is too old to wear something like that, but her age only makes it more erotic. Janet has another 10 or twenty years (perhaps even more) doing what she does (filming of her dates), if she wants it.

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

more Marilyn

um hi

from the Daily Breeze

HAWTHORNE:

She was once a grande dame of society, hosting a U.S. president, A-list movie stars and entertainers, the Mafia and, more recently, aerospace workers, jockeys and horse-racing aficionados. But the years took a toll, and she’s now a forgotten relic – a footnote of a bygone era to some,an eyesore to others.

Her future is anybody’s guess.Built at Imperial Highway and Hawthorne Boulevard in the 1950s by reputed Mafia associate Andrew Lococo, Hawthorne’s Cockatoo Inn

quickly became one of the South Bay’s premier hot spots,featuring 210 guest rooms and numerous meeting rooms amid sprawling grounds laid out like a secret garden. It gained a reputation for fine food, grand banquet halls and elegant European decor, including an L-shaped bar of brass and red leather. Male patrons were not allowed in without neckties. President Kennedy stayed there, as did his Air Force One pilots and his younger brother, Robert. A photo of the presidential plane, autographed by its pilots, still hangs on a hotel wall, Mayor Larry Guidi said. One rumor has it that the Kennedy brothers brought Marilyn Monroe

to Room 200 for a discreet rendezvous.

Its fortunes began to decline in the 1990s, when the recession decimated the aerospace industry and surrounding neighborhoods deteriorated. Hawthorne sued the Cockatoo in 1991 for $109,000 in unpaid bed taxes, and the owners declared bankruptcy the next year.”

from brie:

For a while Whitey was the maitre d for the cockatoo Inn. Whitey had to work an extra shift there. So, we went into a nearby store, where I purchased a plastic model of a V-1 buzz bomb, which I glued together in the car, while Whitey worked his shift. Before the restaurant opened, I went in and was served a Shirley Temple (drink)! The Cockatoo Inn had sterling silverware with “Cockatoo Inn” stamped on the pieces.

Each day whitey would swipe a piece of the flatware. Over the years our stash of the Cockatoo Inn silverware gradually disappeared, until there was only one spoon remaining, and, eventually, that last spoon disappeared too! One time Whitey ripped off some filet mignon — yum! The Cockatoo Inn was in the filming of various lounge scenes from the Quentin Tarantino Film, “Jackie Brown.”

Another time dropped off at Disneyland. started to get bored, since i had  been there so many times. I wanted to see what was behind the scenes, not easy, but I managed to get over to the geyser attraction, which has a small railroad running through it. Suddenly, someone shouts “There she is!”
I take off running,

but the two dudes soon chase me down. “I thought that was a girl!” one of them blurts out. They take me to an office, where I am lectured about not going to restricted areas. I pass through a door, and am on Main Street, where Walt Disney had a secret apartment above the firehouse. On the car radio driving back to San Clemente:

“Tore your dress

What a mess

I confess

danke schoen.”

um hi

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

mostly from Wikipedia:

White Front

was a chain of discount stores in Southern California and the western United States from 1959 through the mid-1970s. They were noted for the architecture of their store fronts which was an enormous, sweeping archway with the store name spelled out in individual letters fanned across the top.The name White Front was said to refer to the practice of lining up appliances like washers, dryers and stoves in front of the store, giving it a “White Front.” Another feature of each store was that each had a separate key booth located in the parking lot.

The company was founded in 1929 in Los Angeles. In April 1959, the then two stores were acquired by Interstate Department Stores, Inc., which expanded the chain to other California locations and broadened its retail mix beyond the original house wares. In September 1960, Interstate also acquired Topps, which at the time had ten stores [beyond California]. For several years, White Front was the leading discount store in the United States.

In 1973 the company made an abortive attempt to expand into Oregon at the Mall 205 in Portland, Oregon. A television ad campaign to introduce the store featured Allen Ludden of Password fame (most store openings were promoted by Hollywood stars). The Portland store failed largely due to complications with coordinating sale ads printed in Southern California with deliveries of the advertised merchandise to Portland. Frustrated by being unable to get advertised specials after a long drive to the suburban store, customers stopped coming, numerous complaints were filed, and the store finally closed.

White Front entered the Seattle/Tacoma market of Washington State in 1969. Five stores were built in high-traffic areas in Burien, Tacoma, north Seattle, Bellevue, and Everett, but were all closed by about 1972. White Front was said to have left the Seattle market “while the paint was still drying in the parking lot stalls.” The local media as well as businesses, government agencies, and community leaders would play on that as well as calling the stores eyesores and a waste of space since each store had a large footprint (150,000 square feet). Some also pointed it out as a flawed attempt to “Californianize” the area, which might have led some local residents not to shop at the stores. Due to the struggling economy of the “Boeing Bust” of the late 1960s and early 1970s and the exodus of people leaving the area, it would take some time before new ownership was found for some of these vacant buildings.

from Brie:

Junk! If you bought a black & white television there, the knob would come off in your hand, when you got home.

Used to get my clothes there –made Robert Hall look good!

The Pacoima store also had 3 balls (perhaps symbolic of a pawn shop) on top of the front arch, through which you entered the store, which really looked like a giant funnel!

The first White Front store was destroyed during the historic Watts riot of 1965.

I remember seeing a closed White Front store in Oakland, while riding the BART.

Also, Jayne Mansfield

and the Canadian Beatles opened the White Front store in Sacramento!

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

I was at the college for two years before attending the university.

Devastated, while at the college, by the realization that Michele wasn’t interested in me, I encountered an older woman student named Gladys

there (unusual back then as most people were under 30 years old at the time). She wore a skirt with sneakers and no socks,  which was an attractive look for her, and she was about twice my age.

We used to chat sometimes between classes at the break area near the snack bar –“Get Together” by the Youngbloods blaring from the loud speakers.

One day she offered to drive me home (I usually took the bus), but we stopped at her house instead –“Tea and Symphony” & “The Last Picture Show” ensued.

Later I thought perhaps her husband was watching through a peep hole, or even filming though a one-way mirror, which is better than my getting killed or going to the hospital due to an encounter with a jealous husband!

One day at the outdoor break area/snack bar facility, which had an overhang in case of rain, there was also a stairway you could access to a top observation deck. A hippie looking freak, probably from the university, went up there and observed the mostly apathetic students for awhile, then suddenly blurted out, “There’s a revolution out there!” Almost immediately someone (not me) responded with  “Why don’t you go and join it?”

Riding the bus home that day with the song “Liar Liar” by The Castaways playing in my head, while holding my calculus book.
