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

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.
