Kate Braverman was wrong about Rent Girl, it is a classic!!! I reread it every few years and love it so much.

Oh I got my Mary’s switched up! I thought you were talking about Mary Boone for a moment who hit on me at her gallery a decade ago. OMG I’m aging

What a fun night out- Kelli Maroney is awesome! I worship Mary Woronov, everything she has written, acted in & danced to. Her paintings are not my taste tho I am inspired by her book of them & her musings on the subject. We attended her reading from the memoir at The Castro before a butt-breaking, 4 hr split screen viewing of Chelsea Girls. It was one of my favorite nights ever.

I just hard-skimmed this, and I will go back in for sure but had to say I laughed out loud at the term hate-watching! Ha. That's it!
