Absolutely..each to their own.
Some here like to post music videos which make me cringe, but they like them, so that’s their right. I like to post extended arguments sometimes – not very often, believe it or not, and it’s paced – but that is me. I’ve decided that if books are called for, I’ll quote books, because that’s how I do it (after being…[Read more]

I fully endorse Mooosey’s post.
Linda, I’ve been round jc long enough to have seen people pulled into a vicious circle where they react to abuse and gradually don’t realise that the original trolls can accuse them of abuse.
Moon in her day was a real victim of this.
Sometimes one can’t let thing go, but rather than get pulled down to that…[Read more]

Linda,
many, many thanks for your gifts. I don’t know how far Barnes and Noble was from you, but you were very kind to get me the Criterion – they are like gold dust in this country, and thanks to you I was able to gt them at US prices and without customs duties.
I’ve been enjoying them a lot. They’ll remind me of you whenever I watch them in…[Read more]

Well if Robert Mapplethorp weren’t dead, you could have written a letter to him complaining about the breach of privacy.
He also photographed her in the nude and distributed them.
The difference between that and some of the photos whihc used to be thrown around JC can be summed up in one word – consent.

I hope you’re enjoying Dublin, Linda, and that you’re enjoying your UK holiday in general.
I’ve never visited Dublin, but have a nephew who lived there for a year.
It’s a cold time of year for you to be on holiday, but it’s warming up here in England.
All very different from New York, I bet.

patti’s long-time boyfriend was the photographer, Robert Mapplethorpe, who produced a series of arresting photographs and videos of her. I like the one showing her peeing into an air vent on top of a New York Hotel, but I couldbn’t find it.
