3 boys today


 Friday 6/23

Lions and tigers and Tahitian kite flyer, oh my. In a jockstrap no less. On the midday empty beach, surf surgin’, wind ablowin’, rain a goin'.  Right out of a 70s porn mag. Where is a film unit when you need ‘em? 


Sil about to arrive. I trust in the nature gods to make her arrival rainless. That would be very hospitable. 


OMG Silvia and I go to the dock for the sunset … no big whoop tonight and then onto Cherrys. We run into the comely boys she talked with on the other side while she waited more than a minute for the ferry. And we take in an Amish girl trio who looked they were dropped down from somewhere far off over the rainbow.


The drag queen who was lacking ample snappy repartee had two cha cha dancer amigos flanking her who were sadly malformed, short and wore flesh colored mesh shirts that looked like grade B- gynecomastia Spanx. They reminded me of Julie Harris’ little Philippino boy sidekick servant who giggled way more than he formed words in Reflections in a Golden Eye … and poor versions of Ava Gardner’s maraca wielding beach boys who swam naked with her in the moonlight in Night of the Iguana. 


As Sil noted - they did work their tails off but still - they were unusually odd looking and the size of junior high bully bait. Oh the power and the glory of ambition and aspiration. Nothing to shake a stick at.

Papa Dearest and ...

  Have been indulging in all things mid century Roman lately - reading about the beginnings of neo-realism, Pucci fashion papparazzi. Watched A Special Day last night on Youtube - a very special movie. Sophia and Marcello are skyrocket superb. The script is, too. At one point while she’s making coffee, prettying up for him in front of the bathroom mirror and dealing with an old nosey neighbor - he looks at an album of Mussolini fotos he assumes is one of her six childrens. It's hers - a scrapbook of her savior and sex symbol. Brilliant.   Watch a ’77 Cavett interview with SL and MM on the Tube. It affirms you don’t have to be skinny and blond and twenty to emit  heart stopping sex appeal.

Buck

My friends and I are so old everything reverberates. My lovely lifelong friend Mrs Johnson sends me a birthday greeting that encourages me to go buck wild but not too buck wild .  When I was around ten, I thought my name was too plain. My large family was upstate in the country on vacation.  There was a neighbor dog named Mitsy. I saw him one evening in our yard and forgot that on the other side of our large screened in porch, my family was finishing dinner. I felt like I was alone and commanded the dog - Mitsy come to Buck. Big howling ensued from inside the house. It became intergenerational family lore and I recalled it today when I opened the card from my dear companion.
