Take heart, Susan! Re. other female body hair, I think the only reason people find it ugly these days is because they're not accustomed to seeing it. Kinda like when John Ruskin saw his wife naked for the first time and freaked out because, well, Greek statues don't have pubes, so women shouldn't, either! He actually thought she was deformed. He refused to have sex with her and she ended up running off with John Everett Millais or some such Pre-Raphaelite. Someone mentioned the charmingly gap-toothed Ray Davies. Matthew Seligman also has a charming gap in his teeth, on the right side. I'm not sure why I find that appealing.

I know because he's extremely tasty and I tend to remember the names of celebrities I want to hump (there aren't that many, at least not in the acting world). John Rhys Davies is, IIRC, Sallah from _Raiders of the Lost Ark_, and might not have the temperament to portray Robyn effectively. If there is someone named Jonathan Rhys Davies, I don't know who he is. As for the title of this forthcoming album: I heard it as "Dave Joins Roger and Leaves Himself", but I may be on crack.

If you don't know who I mean, go here: http://artists.sciflicks.com/bob_balaban/ and check out the picture from 2010. Some of you may remember Bob as the (fictitious) President of NBC on the Seinfeld episodes about making the show (uh, Seinfeld, that is), who falls for Elaine and joins Greenpeace after she rejects him and points out what an empty life running a TV network is (but, for what it's worth, he never had a picture of him getting arrested at a Greenpeace demonstration pictured in George magazine). And no, Bayard, I don't have an obsession with Seinfeld. Although, come to think of it, Michael Richards could play Quail, doncha think? that is all. ============================================================================This e-mail message and any attached files are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the addressee(s) named above.

Despite his railing against anecdotal argument and emotion, he's really letting it all hang out this time. (The Comics Journal, www.tcj.com, has reprinted the whole thing so you can read it without giving him any money.) Though he maintains an amazingly consistent level of insanity the whole time, even at moments when a lesser writer might have accidentally said something reasonable, I think my favorite part would be the bit where he explains that nobody in their right mind would prefer being a woman to being a man. (Since Sim claims to have transcended sexual desire, I guess it wouldn't do any good to bring up Tiresias.) Wait, maybe the best part is where he concludes that people get pregnant because of God's will [*]. The funny thing is that once or twice, he raises a good point about various political issues. Then he shoots himself in the foot again by saying that ALL WOMEN hold some incredibly extreme view on the topic, thereby denying that the real political discussion where some of his comments belong even exists. On a lighter note, I admit that Sim is a kickass letterer (the only category for which he got an Eisner nomination). a [*] I realize that from some religious viewpoints, everything that happens is God's will. I'm not going to debate that. Sim seems to feel that pregnancies are *particularly* God's will; presumably he doesn't think it's in defiance of God's will to ever do anything at all which changes anything else. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2001 12:40:36 -0700 From: "victorian squid" Subject: Re: jonathan rhys meyer Drew: >extremely tasty and I tend to remember the names of celebrities I want >to hump (there aren't that many, at least not in the acting world).

Jesus. I thought I made it clear that I *don't* agree with Sim's Theory Of Everything and also that I don't *know* for certain (and you don't either) whether he "hates" women. I do know, as he points out in the essay you refer to, that it is irrelevant to Sim's debate on Feminism not having an intellectual leg to stand on as a political concept (whether you personally agree with *that* or not.)

Id probobly like you with yours(monobrow, I >assume you still have most of your original features;-) Well, ok, I think this has gotten way out of hand to the point where I don't even want to - -say- the damn m word anymore :). Of course I'm aware that so much of this is culturally determined and of course I'm aware that perfection is neither attainable nor desirable and of course I'm aware that there's a billion dollar industry that thrives on precisely this kind of insecurity. Ack. Thanks for allowing me to get that off my chest. Now I feel better about proceeding. Yes, -I- wouldn't feel attractive with it. So I'm this great superficial bim, so what. Sometimes what you radiate matters as much or more than what's physically there and if I radiated "I feel ugly", then what would anyone see? I have to say I come from a different school of thought on this too, I think, which is the sort of "appearance is fun to play with" school. So I actually enjoy plucking the thing into different shapes from time to time (and the fast growback of the brow-endowed is a plus there). I like lipstick and perfume and trying on different "looks". I like to dye my hair (or used to, anyway *sigh*), I like painting my nails, and I'm very likely the only person on this list who would recognize Kevyn Aucoin on the street. You're probably among what I think would be the majority here in thinking it's a strange way to get kicks. I think the question "why deny ourselves this little bit of beauty?" was yours, so I'll turn it back to you ;).

Is it a good idea? >Well, the sad emerging reality seems to be that there's more demand for a >"Soft Boys" album than a "Robyn Hitchcock" one. Wait. why "sad"? I'm as enthused as the next man-on-the-street (or, rather, person on this list) when a new RH album comes out. I buy the LP version of Storefront to get the extra tracks and everything. But, in the words of the person who introduced me to the Soft Boys in 1988, which she (rudely, yes) asked Robyn in an interview for our college radio station magazine, during the Queen Elvis tour: "Your lyrics are always wonderful, so, why don't you still make cool music to go with them, like you did with the Soft Boys?" OK. This is overstating it a *bit*, but the fact remains, that much of RH's best "tunes," not lyrics, derive from the 1977-81 time period. If you accept this as gospel (and I'm not expecting you to), then why wouldn't I be more excited by a new Soft Boys record than a new RH one? As has been pointed out, playing with Kimberly brings out the best in Robyn (pop quiz: what's the best song on "Jewels"? Times up: Nasa Clapping. Honorable mention for Gene Hackman, but that doesn't fit my point). Further, I like rock n roll. Do I despise Robyn's acoustic folky records? No. IODOT is a permanent fixture on my CD-changer (I may have lost the cd cover, it's been in there so long). I adore Eye. I have a great time seeing Robyn play solo (or with Grant, or Deni Bonet, or whatever). But, I still love rock 'n' roll. A new Soft Boys record promises more rock n roll (with the possible exception of the, IMNSHO, wimpy "Pulse of your heart.") No one talks about it much, but I think "Sudden Town" is the new standout (or standout among the new, perhaps more accurately). The sinewy guitar lines that run throughout are superb. I want more of that and, more importantly: *I want to see the Soft Boys play again.* And again. A new SB record promises that, too (I hope). A new RH record does not. I only feel sorry for Andy. I really like his playing, his staccato, his rhythms. However, I'm warming to Matthew (and, from what I can glean of his personality from the tour diaries, I'm almost ready to leave my wife to be his lap dog). Plus, Andy's fretless bass gets on my nerves. Great on "Bass," sick of it most elsewhere. OK, I'm stopping now. - -ed ============================================================================This e-mail message and any attached files are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the addressee(s) named above.
