mostly my nostalgic and frequently puerile reflections on old movies, music and whatever pops from the recesses of memory....i have detailed memory of the oddest and more insignificant details.......these memories codify and indelibly emboss the past into my portrait of the future.......and a bit queer, to boot!

TY HARDIN....Bronco in hotpants
'Cinema History' research for this afternoon: I was always a big fan of Glynis Johns......and reading about her led to several associations with Ty Hardin, a popular 1950's and 60's T.V. star.....Remembering 'Hardin' (aka 'Hardon'), who seemed to always appear, shirtless and in the emerging, fashion-trending "Hot Pants"...or in cowboy hat with cartridge belt....and, of course, 'shirtless'.......I wondered 'what happened to Ty Hardin.....born as Orison Whipple Hungerford, Jr. What a Life! at least 6 wives, one of them a former Miss Universe, Marlene Schmidand, 10 children with them.....After his 'hot cowboy stud' roles that lasted into his thirties, he later owned a chain of laundromats, in Spain.....was jailed for drug trafficking. (found with 25 kilos of hashish in his car).......then, became a born-again Christian minister......Who next.....to research...? How about Estelle Winwood?
pragmatic sensualist, motivated by really deep instincts, actualized by willful imaginings and perpetuated by other's desires. Abstract, yet clear in purpose, honest, but abstruse, my moods change like winds and water with my confidences, and when ungrounded, i am both guarded and vulnerable, leaning, in darkness, to the Light, nurtured by instinctual feelings arising from a deep gene pool.
