Was
sad to hear of the recent death of Alexis Arquette, of the famed
Hollywood acting dynasty. Alexis' best film role was in Last Exit to
Brooklyn. I first met Alexis when he was a weenager. I sold him his
first wig at Retail Slut on Melrose Avenue in the early 1980s. In
the late 80s he performed as Eva Destruction at my monthly Cafe Hag
at Cafe Kafka a Czech boite on Sunset Blvd near KNX Radio and TV
Studio. Cafe Hag was the first time I attempted a 1920s style club
with a continuous floor show. The last time I encountered Alexis was
when he came to the opening of my Bricktops at the Parlour Club in
2002 brilliantly dressed like a high society dowager ala Marie
Dressler or Margret Dumont.
Its
now Autumn, which means no more warm evenings and how are things in
Glacamora devil moons. I will miss hanging out at the Tiergarten
with sexpert philosopher kings Daniel Tarrantino of the Humboldt
Universitaet and Leon die Gottlieb, who is the most religious horn
pig I have ever encountered in my life. Last time I rode my bike
through the park I had a lovely flirtation with a gorgeous 25 year
old blondine Polish hunk who had huge hands, feet and Jimmy Durante
style schnazola.
