I should have continued. I love the way Ryan Tasker played Billy. This was Tennessee Williams. I met him several times in Los Angeles and once in New York. Tennesse loved rough trade. I knew of a bar downtown Los Angeles where he would go sometimes. I was always surprised that he was not killed by some of the trade he picked up. NO I did not go to the bar.

You are so right Chad about trying to read Gertude Stein’s “Miss Fur and Miss Sheen”. It is a difficult read. As you probably know it is based on fact. Two midwestern women Ethel Mars and Hunt Squires came to Paris in 1911 to take up painting and to pursue a lesbian relationship. They even broke up in Paris after the relationship. I love the way the actors keep repeating over and over and over again “regulary Gay” It is also interesting to note that when the story was reprinted in Vanity Fair magazine in 1923 this was the first time that the word “gay” became an underground meaning as a homosexual life style.
