Tom Selleck is the guy in Mae West's office that is being interviewed, not the guy that Raquel does....

What're the white ones for again?

We intend to have a Dolls nite this weekend as well, VOD and BVOD...with cocktails, but I may bring m&ms so we can pretend...

It should be on a double bill with West's "Sextette" ( 1978 ).

That might qualify as an embarassement of riches though.

As crazy-wonderful-hideous as Myra B. is, nothing beats Miss West and Timothy Dalton crooning the Capt. & Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together."

I say let's shoot up and watch 'em BOTH!

My kind of "matinee madness."

I saw it in the theater, when it was first released, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I, recently, tried to watch the DVD of it, and found it, unwatchable. Horrible, on every conceivable level.

Rex Reed lives life with a fork stuck in him. And wearing mascara.

My favorite Rex Reed quote: "No matter how she spends her daddy's money, she still looks like a pizza waitress." - about Nancy Sinatra. I've used it many times since, but about the more appropriate, Tori Spelling!

I heart Myra Breckenridge. It's off-center, quirky, weird, askew, campy, vulgar, over-the-top. I heart it.

Read the book, people! The strap on scene will make you blush!



But I do love the way Raquel says, "She is MENTally reTAHded!"

Actually, I believe that Rex Reed gave it a very BAD review, in print, at the time.

If you can find a copy of the "movie tie-in" copy of the paperback (with Raquel in the same pose on the cover), in the picture section, there is a two page spread of Raquel pulling down the guys pants as he is strapped to a table!

And Gore Vidal's sequel, "Myron" is a delightful read, too.

I saw Rex on the manhunt one time...he shoulda used his original head shot...though in all fairness it's hard to scan a woodcut.
