I would imagine he was just kidding but I just realised that I own a copy of the movie he lists as his favorite, "Daughters of Darkness" (on DVD no less). I thought it was going to be pretty hot but it wasn't as good as "Cemetary Girls" or "Grave Desires" or possibly even "Vampyres" for that matter. I have been looking for a copy of "Sysperia" which is very strange, but can't find it. Anyone else into the B grade vampire/horror(?) movies? I did see a copy of "Mark of the Vampire" on DVD that I might buy. > > ASTROLOGICAL SIGN: Gemini > > DESCRIBE YOUR HAIRSTYLE: Sprayed on > > QUOTE THAT DESCRIBES YOUR PHILOSOPHY: "Yes, dear." > > FAVORITE MAKE-OUT MUSIC: anything by Chris Isaak > > FAVORITE VICE: Pie > > DESCRIBE YOURSELF PHYSICALLY (WITH AT LEAST ONE MEASUREMENT): Both > > transparent and invisible, hence no measurements > > FAVORITE PHILOSOPHER and/or CELEBRITY: Po the Teletubby > > CELEBRITY YOU MOST RESEMBLE: Ron Howard > > COMPLETE THIS SENTENCE: "Sexually, I AM: a bird" > > PET PEEVES IN A MATE: Sense of humor > > DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN HIGH SCHOOL: Teacher's Pet > > STANCE ON PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS: "Hand me the pen." > > FAVORITE BOOK: _Monica's Story_ > > FAVORITE MOVIE: Daughters of Darkness > > PERSON ON AVALON LIST YOU WOULD MOST (or LEAST) LIKE TO MEET: everyone > > (except Red and Colleen) > > FAVORITE SUPERMODEL and/or DESIGNER: Frederick's of Hollywood > > > > IN TWENTY-EIGHT WORDS OR LESS, TELL US WHY YOU WOULD BE MR or MS RIGHT For > > JERRY/FERRY.

He actually failed an audition to join Roxy in 1972 when Graham Simpson left immediately after the release of the first album. However, Porter was successful in joining Roxy as one of (the many) bass players in '73 when Rik Kenton left. Porter plays bass, of course, on "For Your Pleasure". Jim Spellman is correct, Porter can be heard on Bryan's second album, but is also responsible for the guitar solo on "Don't Worry Baby" on BF debut solo album. JP can also be heard on Andy' s album ".....Eddie Riff" . In modern times JP is probably most famous for having been the producer of the Smiths when they were at the peak of their popularity.

BF put them together when at Newcastle University. All members were (I think) fellow students. I'm not aware of any recordings. I never heard tham play. I think they were R&B at heart.

There was a picture of her in a fur hat with ear flaps (remember now, she IS in the the Best Dressed Hall of Fame) accompanying the article. I belive it is Kate Winslet potraying Bella's mother in Hideous Kinky at a movie theatre near you! --TriTri - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V4 #129 **************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
