It's a slight affectation by Avalon, not sure why.

I was in a car pool driving back and forth to college in 1961-1962. One of guys was friendly with Lee Strasberg who started the Actors' Studio. He told us Rock Hudson was gay, also Strasberg's son. I do not remember any discussion of Marilyn Monroe, who died after that school year ended (Monroe studied at the Actors' Studio).

No. Maybe you not gay after all!

My concern is Avalon may live in the same State as other members. If I lived within driving distance, who knows? It would be to help in any way possible, and only if he wanted me to help.

Thanks, Avalon. Excellent response!

@Avalon, please mention your state. Many people are trying to help, as you can see. By accident, you are blocking sincere assistance because nobody know what state services or federal may exist

Back to the escort agency in Philadelphia, Premier: in addition to their current guys, they brought in "guests" from all over the country. They had ads in the city's gay paper with photos. If you had questions, I usually received accurate answers. The best guys did eventually go on their own, but an excellent way to start. NY had a very good agency good agency too, specializing in male models.

My experience was in Australia. Wine was served, and I met each guy one at a time. I chose "Mario." Mario was surprised; he thought he had failed pretending to be Italian. Very nice experience. I went with a friend and he liked it a lot as well. In Sydney, Australia.

Bluebeard's Castle / Mario and the magician Lincoln Center: David H Koch TheaterNew York City, New York, United States November 01 19:30, November 03 13:00 PROGRAMME Bartók, Béla (1881-1945) Duke Bluebeard's Castle Vajda, János (b. 1949) Mario és a varázsló (Mario and the Magician) PERFORMERS Hungarian State Opera Balázs Kocsár Conductor Péter Galambos Director, Set Designer Enikő Kárpáti Costume Designer Ildikó Komlósi Mezzo-soprano Judith András Palerdi Bass Bluebeard, Cipolla Balázs Csémy Actor Mario István Rácz Bass The woollen-shirted one Orsolya Hajnalka Rőser Soprano Mrs Angiolieri Antal Cseh Bass Mr Angiolieri Lajos Geiger Baritone A Roman gentleman Bluebeard's Castle Opera in one act in Hungarian Bartók's sole opera provides a glimpse, by way of seven symbolic doors, into the secrets of the human soul. The enigmatic work follows the evolution of the relationship between two people and the different stages of getting to know each other and growing apart refracted allegorically through symbols with many meanings. All the while, it suggests that it is not the drama of a man and a woman unfolding before the viewer's eyes, but rather a man's drama and a woman's drama. As director Péter Galambos put it at the time of the 2013 premiere: “The deeper they probe into understanding their own demons, the more uncertain they become. Their curiosity, however, is still greater than their fear. Confronting our demons – no matter how painful it may be – leads to an understanding of ourselves.” Mario and the Magician Opera in one act, in Hungarian, with Hungarian and English surtitles "You do what you like. Or is it possible you have ever not done what you liked – or even, maybe, what you didn't like?" The atmosphere is an unpleasant one in this memory of Torre de Venere. The audience members at an Italian resort town fall, against their will, under the influence of a remarkable magician – with the exception of one person. "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil," said Thomas Mann, whose highly influential novel Mario and the Magician János Vajda use as the basis for his opera of the same name, one of the most successful and affecting works in modern Hungarian opera history. The work will be shown at the Opera House in a production directed by Péter Galambos, with Krisztián Cser in the principal role.

Ah. That was in 1952, when "Lucy" was the top rated show on TV. Lucy and Desi's home in Beverly Hills. She lived there for the rest of her life. I was there in 1969, and turned around in her driveway. Jack Benny lived next door; Jimmy Stewart across the street.

I suspect you have never been in a male or female brothel given the wording.

I guess. The book must be out of print.

One of first people to go public about Alzheimer's. Although it was likely her family rather Ms. Hayworth.

Or Avalon could hire a barber to visit and also cut his hair. To be fair, we do not know what Avalon can afford.

Why do you need to stand up when you shave? Do the best you can and then check the mirror.

Hayward and Welles' daughter, Rebecca, died in 20i4. Her daughter, Princess Jasmin Aga Khan is still alive.

Rita and her husband, Orson Welles established a restaurant in Big Sur with amazing views of the Pacific Ocean. I ate there in the 1990s. Restaurant is Nepenthe ARCHIVES | 1985 AN ENCLAVE IN BIG SUR By JOSEPH GIOVANNININOV. 10, 1985 Cut into mountains that dive operatically into the Pacific, California Route 1 presents consistently sweeping vistas of Big Sur, about 150 miles south of San Francisco - down the coast to a succession of spurs, up the sides of the mountains and out to the vast, swelling ocean. Subtle for its shifts in color, especially at sunset, the Big Sur landscape is nonetheless awesome for its scale. At Castro Canyon, just south of the hilltop cottage where Orson Wells and Rita Hayworth lived in the 1940's, the highway turns inland, and Big Sur folds in on itself in what is, for this coast, an unusual moment of intimacy. Even though forested with 200-foot redwoods, the canyon is close; a stream at the bottom of a deep V separates two hillsides that are 50 yards apart at the level of the highway. It is here that Helmut Deetjen, a Norwegian immigrant, and his wife, Helen, settled in the early 1920's, when the highway was a dirt road. He built a small wood-frame, redwood-sided home in the canyon, with a pitched roof, in a style that recalled that of his homeland. When travelers came along, Mr. Deetjen invited them to stay over, and Mrs. Deetjen offered meals; gradually the small house became an inn, and the inn, a local tradition. Mr. Deetjen added on as the years passed, always with the same all-wood buildings. There was no master plan, just a casual string of free-standing houses settled in the canyon - and Mr. Deetjen's intimate touch. He named each cabin, and even tatooed the cottages with homilies by burning words into wood plaques - one reads, ''Open from Dawn to Dusk but not always awake.''

You now have two threads on this page with the word I in the title. The other: I have ordered a walker. What's up?

Any book by the ditzy author, Patrick Dennis, except the photos in the hilarious movie star autobiography, "Little Me"
