Subject: More of Don Alias & Joni Auction Items - Authentic or Not?

Upon further research......wish I found this first as it's Don's own 
words........from the Book 'GIRLS LIKE US' by Sheila Weller.  I'm 
quoting right from the book in front of me.  Looked it up, since Amazon 
left this page out in the 'view book' option.

Page 430
...As she had with Jackson and other lovers, Joni painted a portrait of 
Don.  But this was a different kind of portrait: "It was me, with my 
bathrobe open with -- bang!  like this --a hard-on sticking out.  i 
said, 'Joni, what are you /doing?/'" when she hung it "smack-dab in the 
middle of the living room" of the loft they would soon share in New 
York.  Don was embarrassed.  "My friends would come over and they'd go, 
/huh?/  Joni said, 'What's wrong with it?'"  He said she said it was a 
"testament to his sexuality," to which he replied, "It's not a testament 
to anything - it's annoying; it's an embarrassment!" Don wanted her to 
repaint it with the bathrobe closed, "and she fought me on it, all the 
way,/all/ the way."  Finally they compromised:  She repainted part of 
the painting, making the penis tumescent, not erect.).

The upside and downside of being Joni's boyfriend.......
