Indeed

"Well, Monsieur de Guyon," said she at last, "I don't find you very witty to-day."

"Indeed," said he, seeking to look straight into her eyes, "but I have waited long for the opportunity."

Every time I see a beautiful shimmering black it turns out to be Sapphire Blue upon closer inspection.

Saturday, August 23rd, 1975

John Brady called. He was in New York. Came over with girl and Irish boy named Pat. Started back to their place on Aloe St. In garage they all three got under a rug to make it. A girl there who was cured of the Codesan habit by Jehovah's Witnesses. Girl named Mollie told her "If thou dost not stop thou art in thy grave."

Pat: a casque of yellow russett hair like autumn leaves. Handsome vacant face, yellow brown skin, wide mouth, brown eyes, Green jacket, tan slacks, brown suede shoes. A blank inhuman look like a Venusian half-wit. He says nothing but occasionally works his mouth and twists face.

Shiloh Cleveland

On this day, we find our fair Shiloh waiting for her faxes before heading out to the Hollywood Park to play the ponies.

School is not really an option for Shiloh.

On Tuesdays.

Flaming Creatures

16MM, BLACK AND WHITE, MONO, 45 MINUTES, USA, NO DIALOGUE / DIRECTOR/CINEMATOGRAPHER/EDITOR: JACK SMITH / PRINT SOURCE/RIGHTS: CANYON CINEMA, 1963

Flaming Creatures features an Arabian harem of erotically possessed creatures amid a wild bacchanalia that blurs all gender and sexual norms. Banned in 22 states of the US and four countries, the film was subject to an obscenity case that famously reached the US Supreme Court. The scandal around Flaming Creatures, the only film Smith actually completed, made the artist determined never to complete another film. Smith would later assert the discourse about censorship and sexuality that was generated prevented audiences from appreciating its intended humour.
