Trailer Park

The Big O

Felt TOTALLY plugged in yesterday, watching the inauguration on TV while participating in Facebook Live Feed discourse on my Powerbook.

Highlights: CHENEY in the wheelchair (how ELSE should a lame duck travel?), MRS. BIDEN's miniskirt and go-go boots, A-SCREECH-A FRANKLIN's satellite dish millenary, our CHIEF JUSTICE forgetting his one paragraph, and that snooze-worthy instrumental intermission.

Renay of light

LIZ RENAY...exotic dancer...authoress ("My Face For The World To See")...actress (Muffy St. Jacques in John Waters' 1977 Desperate Living)...and ARTIST. Sadly she climbed that big stripper pole to the sky in 2007, but go see her paintings, along with wigs, costumes and sundry personal effects, on display all month at the Deitch NYC...

RIP Jett Travolta

Tragically, JETT TRAVOLTA, 16-year-old son of JOHN TRAVOLTA and KELLY PRESTON, passed away Friday while the family was vacationing in the Bahamas. He apparently struck his head in the bathroom after suffering the last in a series of seizures endured since childhood.

Travolta and Preston refuted a rumored diagnosis of autism, instead claiming Jett contracted Kawasaki Syndrome at the age of 2, a disorder affecting arteries. Bizarrely, on Larry King Live in 2001, Grease and Hairspray star Travolta claimed "obsessive carpet and house cleaning" may have been responsible for the onset of his son's condition 14 years ago.
