A Mark Beard-painted ceiling at Abercrombie & Fitch SEEMS multidimensional.

  • I do NOT have time to read all of this, but if these FASHIONAZIS insist that A&F "outfits" those who do NOT conform to the A&F look -- let them shop at WAL-MART!!!





  • That's why God made MORE THAN ONE retailer -- and like it or NOT, A&F is an extraordinary CREATION -- even a "metaphorical experience".





  • So all you PIG PEOPLE (many of whom are WORTHY of getting LAID -- especially by their OWN kind), stop OINKING up everyone else's ASS.




  • ...

    Gracias!!! -- and I'd better ALSO disclaim that Mark Beard, whom I've known sporadically yet WELL since he was in Art School in the early 1980s is who not only DEFINED the A&F "look" with his art throughout all their stores, but created the record-holding World's Largest Oil on Canvas painting -- an A&F commission.





  • OK, OK, that is not as impressive as his QUALITY of art -- and as everyone likes to claim "SIZE DOESN'T MATTER". So if YOUR size matters to you, "get slender in a blender"!!!





  • Besides, Mark is NOT ONLY the great-grandson of one of the THREE that Joseph Smith dictated the BOOK OF MORMON to and his parents currently own the largest "Mormon Bank".


  •  


  • Mark was disinherited many years ago -- AND he has GRACIOUSLY GRANTED me permission to use his artwork of "Tennessee Williams with Ghost" on the cover of my soon-revised memoir WALKING ON GLASS: A MEMOIR OF THE LATER DAYS OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS, which got RAVE REVIEWS from John Lahr of THE NEW YORKER, as well as many Williams scholars.





  • So there!!! (Or here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0053480S2 ).

Heather Arnet was escorted into the Abercrombie & Fitch headquarters in New Albany, Ohio, flanked by her contingent of 16 teenage girls. It was late 2005, and they were there to voice their discontent about a series of shirts that the company had unleashed on the market with text celebrating skinny…

Clockwise from plaid shirt: Georg, Mark Beard, Vassilis Voglis (Tennessee Williams' best male friend in 1980 - 81), me, "Black-Eyed Susan of Charles Ludlam's Ridiculous Theatrical Company (whom I saw AGAIN at Mark's 2009 and 2012 Christmass Parties!!!), Jane Smith unknown tallish, Tennessee Williams (VERY HEALTHY and VIGOROUS -- as he was the ENTIRE TIME I worked for him, ending late April 1982), and the rest are unknown to me now -- I having misplaced Mark's key.
 
 
This was taken at Georg and Mark's 1981 Thanksgiving Party on Staten Island, and was one of the only TWO times I ever saw Tennessee Williams smoke marijuana. Nevertheless, after getting QUITE IN HIS CUPS, he virtually VAULTED over the back of a sofa to CONFRONT a gentleman who APPEARED to have insulted a lady-friend of his.
 
 
 
WHAT A GREAT TIME WE ALL HAD BACK THEN!!!!
 
 
 
Knowing NOT, what was soon to come.
 
 
 
 
 
Tennessee Williams' "Poet's Laurel Wreath" rescued from Tom's casket at burial by John Uecker and presented to Brenda Carradine at the Williams Birth house in Mississippi, after I was photographed beneath it in John Uecker's apartment, November 2009:
 
 
 
 



And FINALLY (for today),



 
 
Me ISOLATED ON PURPOSE (except for by Annette Saddik, a Williams scholar, and actress Olympia Dukakis) at the Bishop's Reception after Tennessee's Poets' Corner Installation at Cathdral John the Divine in New York City the same day as pictured above.
 
 
 
I actually DID have a short conversation with Marian Seldes (who seemed FAR more "confused" than when I'd had breakfast with her at a previous New Orleans TW Festival) and a LONG conversation with playwright John Patrick Shanley (closest male, and whoom I tried to "convert"), who played a "poor me" act all night hoping to pick up a WOMAN. He flirted a long time with Annette, but I don't think it worked.
 
 
 
You'd have to ask her.
