An unexpected plea.
A fun song from 1985.

Mr. Ellis’s house is underwater?
Maybe he bought it back when he thought Avary was going to make Glamorama.
I had Glamorama sitting on my desk at work for two years, and I was never even tempted to open it.
Read it, Abe. One of the best novels of that decade. Honestly, I think you’d like it more than most.
The book belonged to one of Ellis’s friends who’d gone into rehab and left it in the office along with a Princess Diana doll, a little red wagon and a desk drawer with about $200 worth of quarters in it.
FSOG is glittery vampires doing BDSM? no thanks. Kinda funny that all the feminists get off on this stuff as the female character is evidently into submission and degradation. Had a discussion of this POS with some older ladies last week. Most thought it was crap and had just read it cause everyone else had. Meh.
I’d rather read period romance novels with the hunky dudes on the cover and suffer the resulting sunburn. I only read those at the beach cause they are fluffy, easy to put down, and I usually fall asleep a couple of chapters in.
Another plea.
Here’s a couple more fun songs from the early 80’s.

Unicorn farts are glittery. Vampires are sparkly. Everyone knows that.
(“Weird S&M book written by your mom” is my new go-to descriptor for Fifty Shades of Beige. That’s just awesome.)
My Pretty Vampire(TM)s are sparkly. But Bela Lugosi’s dead.
