Karen Black. Ivo Watts-Russell. David Hockney. Tama Janowitz. Shawn Smith. Amy Sedaris. David too. Joel Peter Witkin. Katherine Dunn. (And those are just the living.)**************************************************** *******************************Odd, interesting and intelligent folk from all walks of life. Painters, poets, car mechanics, bakers, wig makers, photographers, friendly drunks (truth be told, I'm getting pretty fucking sick of any other kind), manicurists, sculptors, car hops on roller skates, bartenders, bathroom attendants, dry-wallers, tailors, sad clowns, and the like. Anyone who can explain why Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and the Olsen creatures even exist. (And why do I have to know about it every time they wipe feces from their scrawny little haunches?) I love artistic minds and/or souls. I go for the sensitive type, I must admit. I tend to think that fairly normal seeming men, who are a bit on the wild side, are interesting. I dig balding men with scars. No, seriously. For real. Large noses are heavenly too. Young men with beards are also quite stimulating. I am extremely wary of religion or anyone overly religious. Spirituality is fine, in fact it's great, but religion is a bit too "Stepford Wives" for me.********************************************************* **************************I honestly hope that I haven't offended anyone with any of my ranting and raving. Truly, I do. If I have, may I suggest that you take a deep breath, clear your mind of any vestige of me and move on? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Refreshing, isn't it?********************************************************* **************************
