The A&F Jet, Tennessee Williams, the Book (and banks!!!) of Mormon -- and ME!!!

>>> FROM FACEBOOK:

What strikes me here, NONE OF MY READERS WOULD EVER GUESS (except for a very few, which could be counted easily on one hand of fingers)!!!

You see, the man who was the boyfriend of Tennessee Williams' best male friend during the time I worked for him -- Vasillis Voglis, a Greek and the heir to his first huband's estate left by HIS Dad who had been President of the New York Stock Exchange, so Vaz (as we pronounced his familiar moniker), was indeed very rich -- and fully employed as a "candy-striper" (no pay), in a Manhattan hospital, so ALWAYS busy with that and many volunteer duites to New York Arts Organizations as well.

Anyway, his then boyfriend, Mark, was an art student and I had a HUGE crush on Mark back then. Cut from 1982 to 2012: Tennessee was murdered by agents of the Republican Party and the Episcopal Church (who had to head off TW's decision at Jackie Kennedy Onassis's suggestion to leave control of his estate to Harvard, rather than the only Episcopal Seminary in the Old South, the University of the South, aka Sewanee. Vassilis is dead of AIDS (about 1990), and Mark is not only the CREATOR of the entire Abercrombie & Fitch homoerotic "look" -- as well as having created some of the world's largest Oil-on-Canvas paintings as commissions by A&F, but holds the actual World's Record for size (absolutely unimportant -- what TRULY distinguishes Mark's work is its QUALITY), at the A&F Tokyo Flagship Store.

I'm having trouble again with hackers so will post this to Facebook, drop into blog, and continue from there, where hackers seem to bedil me FAR less . . . )

More on Mark Beard can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Beard_(artist), as well as THIS place, maintained by one of the galleries that represents him -- and my dear friend Carrie Haddad: http://www.carriehaddadgallery.com/index.cfm?method=Artist.ArtistDetail&ArtistID=2BAEEA26-115B-5562-AA229B29A293B4B0 .

But what is NOT known about Mark Beard (and I've never discussed it in detail -- and only found out about it in 2009, when I attended Mark's iconic annual Christmas Party -- and NOT gotten any dignificant details), is that Mark's Great-Grandfather is one of the THREE people that Joseph Smith DICTATED the Book of Mormon to -- and not only THAT, but his family owns the LARGEST Mormon Bank, his artist's assistant's family owns the SECOND largest Mormon Bank, BOTH men having LONG AGO been excommunicated and disinherited.

And I DON'T have to know a THING about any of that from them for my OWN puroposes in this blog, because in 1977, when I was en route via car to California for the first time -- and eventually Alaska, where I lived for a month -- I met a woman in Salt Lake City, who explained the Mormon Church's ABSOLUTE CORRUPTION and control of ALL SIN & VICE (to make OODLES of profit) in Salt Lake City, where I had been amazed that the people (like ALL Americans back then before excess concern about "offending" anyone stopped the whole thing COLD), acted like they did not even see me when I lit up a cigarette on the street -- yet CONSTANTLY askled about my height AT ALL OTHER TIMES, even when I entered the Mormon Church property and buildings!!!

Well, you name it (her father was on the "List of the Twelve" or whatever it's called and owned not only MANY bars and a liquor distribution company, but call-girl services and the biggest gay bar in town!!! SHE claimed that the Mormon Church's TOP LEADERS made a POINT of investing ESPECIALLY in vices, so that EVENTUALLY all the vice-adicted could be GOTTEN RID OF LIKE DRUGGED-SHEEP-TO-THE-SLAUGHTER (like Hitler did), IN THE NAME OF MORMON (or whomever the Mormon Church worships -- I have NO IDEA where that name came from -- and probably would do best to remain in the dark).

So Mitt Romney's arguing BOTH sides of every question and refusal to offer DETAILS of ANY of his plans -- to say NOTHING of how me made so many profits at the expense of PEOPLE at Bain, is NO SURPRISE TO THIS HEART-CATHOLIC!!!

Enough for now.

I just got off the phone with my financial backer after telling him it's TIME FOR ME TO FINANCIALLY GROW UP. now that he has restored me to a SANE level of physical living, it's tim efor me to advance on my financial own -- whether I make more money (or make it first), by writing or suiing the SHIT out of Wilmington, NC and NC State Courts (or a GIGANTIC counter-suit against Jaime Southheimer, and possibly his attorneys, depending).

And NOW I'm going to figure out how to send an electronic check to Father Bob and Sister Isaac at St. Mary's in Wilmington. Adults simply MUST abide by their commitments -- and God KNOWS those two know how to apply money to God's best work.

>>> HACKERS -- AGAIN!!!

They have RE-ORDERED the material in this blog post, but maybe it's actually BRILLIANT, so I'm going to leave it the way they RE-DID it without MY permission!!! :

And even though neither I nor the US Government EVER has listed The Church of the Latter Day Saints as "Christian" (the theology is more outrageous than Scientology's), its OUTRAGEOUS HYPOCRICY AT LEAST MATCHES THAT OF CHRISTIAN CHURCHES AMERICA-WIDE, so maybe it SHOULD be listed as Christian afterall. THOSE churches ALSO serve Mamon, rather than God.
