Warhol's Factory, The Golden Age of Hollywood, '80s New Wave and Post Punk, travel, biographies, writing, vintage pin-up girls, pulp art, Film Noir, keeping fit, activities in Central Park, Tex-Mex food, strawberry shortcake, cult film, foreign film, shifting governmental power away from religious zealots. Human intimacy in all its myriad forms. Developing my male id while staying in touch with the inner child.
