BONITA SAINT -- 1990's Cover Girl and Pet of the Month is Still Stunning, Smart and Sexy.

Bonita Saint was a 36 month sensation in the 1990's highly competitive world of adult modeling. Her whirlwind career included iconic Penthouse photo spreads, and the cover of Larry Flint's Hustler Magazine. She also made a series of memorabe XXX videos " with such performers as Peter North. These DVDs continue selling briskly, and retain their popularity amongst collectors and afficianados.

 

Born in Los Angeles, the product of almost textbook "how not to succeeed" scearios of a series of foster families and foster homes, disrupted and incomplete education -- "I dropped out," she admits, "but I got my GED. So I am a high school graduate" -- she was suddenly famous by age twenty, spent three years in the limelight, and then experienced a rapid succession of tragedies that would ravage a lesser woman. "My husband went to Federal Prison," she tells me over soft drinks, "and a year later, my three kids went to God." She doesn't elaborate.

  As our conversations progress, I am impressed by her remarkable memory for details and descriptions that accompany many vastly amusing and/or informative stories about modeling, photography, performing and the relationships (or lack of them) that develop between people "acting" in adult films.

Honesty is one  of Saint's strongest and most admirable characteristics. In negotiations regareding her latest  enterprises, she is firm but reasonable, fairminded and has a good head for business.

Despite time and tragedies, Bonita Saint has the same looks as when she first began. The only alteration aside from increased depth and maturity, is that she had breast augmentation in late 1990's. Personally, I'm not a fan of breast augmentation except if a woman puts one in the center of her back -- it makes her more fun to dance with.

She is blessed with one of those faces that a photographer or make up person loves -- it is a canvas awaiting artistry.  Actually, I think her best days as a model are ahead of her -- not in the realm of XXX, but in the mainstream world of fashion photography where the character of the face means more than the depth of cleavage.

Look at her again... see what I mean?

 

SEAN YOUNG -- The Woman who Skates on Thin Ice.

Sean Young's birthday, November 20th, finds this dynamic and effervescent actress on ice skates -- a victorious metaphor for a woman who, in the opinion of more than a few shallow showbizybodies, has been skating on thin ice for the past decade.  

I've followed Ms Young's career with interest -- and not simply because she's a good lookin' broad with an eclectic backlog of film performances. There was always something about her that struck me as ..uh...hmmm... vibrationally harmonic.  Oh, I'd heard the stories of her outrageous behavior, and occasionally socially inappropriate (if honest and accurate) statements, but I tend to admire the feisty and headstrong -- they DO things. Doing things while intoxicated can be problematic, but we all know of folks whose careers were both fueled and failed by overindulgence in mood altering elixirs, powders and/or compounds.  Dick Van Dyke rose to prominence as a TV star while he was drunk enough to have tripped over that footstool at his sit-com's opening by error rather than comedic design, Ray Charles was a heroin addict, Johnny Cash took enough pills to keep everyone in Folsom Prison wide awake 'till their next parole hearing, and when someone suggested that cocaine is best preserved in a cool dark place, I immediately thought of Marvin Gaye's nose. 

Yeah, Sean Young loved wine. She probably still does love wine, but she's not drinking it these days as she is far too busy enjoying a robust renewal of career activity and public adulation.  

Getting back to that "vibrationally harmonic" statement -- sometimes you just have a "feeling" about someone.  Sean and I met at Outlaw Radio, where she's been a regular on and off for years. She'd been mostly "off" when I came "on."  It was almost a year ago that we met for the first time, and I liked her immediately.  There is something about her that feels incredibly familiar..and i don't mean familiar as in "seen her in the movies," but more as if we were on the same space ship in an alternate universe.  As I don't believe in "past lives" (as there is no time, the past is now) I'm not going for one of those "I was a slave and she was an Egyptian Princess," or "I was a princess and she was a certified public accountant" scenarios that are so absurd it amazes me that anyone buys 'em (and people do BUY them).

Let it suffice to say that I really like Mary Sean Young. I've seen Sean drunk, I've seen Sean sober, and while I prefer her sober, I accept and admire Sean Young at all times and under all conditions.  She's been kicking soap opera ass on The Young and The Restless, and now she's going on SKATING WITH THE STARS. I'll be cheering for her continued success just as I always have, even back when the ice was much thinner and not as many were cheering.

Shadoe Stevens and Paris Hilton Share Headbands, pass it on.

Shadoe Stevens and Paris Hilton are NOT an item, and Shadoe is NOT Paris' new b/f.  Shadoe is a happily married man and Paris is a savvy humanitarian with big bucks, black boots and an astonishing career doing something or other.  The rumors of Shadoe and Paris being an "item" began Thursday when we found out that Paris was going to be on Craig Ferguson's show where Shadoe is the "staff announcer."  Just because they both have a lot of hair, similar headbands and reputations for outlandish behavior tempered by random acts of kindness, doesn't mean that they are shagging like wild weasels in the Green Room.

GHOST WRITING AND PANTIES

All this time I thought faithful readers of my blog really wanted more information about writing, ghost writing, editing, literature, etc.....but NO...according to DogsDontPurr, you want to see scantily clad pictures of my g/f!  Well, you are NOT going to see those. If you want to see scantily clad maidens there are plenty of places you can go -- such as dogsdontpurr.com where the lovely diminutive hostess of that wonderful site will only charge you FIVE DOLLARS for exciting photos of her "sans top" -- now, I have not spent the FIVE DOLLARS (yet) as my memory of having seen a revealing pic of her about fifteen or so years ago has more megapixels than any current camera....but as I become increasingly senile, I may need a memory refresher...so, don't destroy the negatives!
Meanwile, on the IMPORTANT  news front, I am going to ghostwrite a novel for someone who wishes they were a writer. Heck, the quickest way to become a writer is to hire one.  I will do a good job, and we will both be happy.  Now, for those of you dieing to see my g/f model the Suzanne Somers FAUX CASHMERE sweater...here ya go:

Suzanne Somers Faux Cashmere Sweater

When one writes true crime, mysteries, and pop culture for a living, it's easy to forget that there is life beyond research, keyboards, and word processing.  Here is a dose of hard core reality from my personal llife. My g/f asked my opinion of her brand new Suzanne Somers Faux Cashmere Sweater.....

Yes, this is what my life is like while gearing up for my next true crime masterpiece....as you can see, my life is every bit as thrill packed as yours.
