boudoir:
(the concise oxford dictionary of english etymology)
boudoir lady's private room. XVIII.
F. boudoir prop. 'place to sulk in', f. bouder pout, sulk, of imit. origin. see OIR
sulky boudoir would be the perfect name for a love artist rock band if i had one, however those days are over (never say never)
there were a few (pre) love artist rock bands (if there could ever be a genre pre love artist if there could ever be) but most never made it out of the basement
except for those of your fortunate enough to have been privy to a private bathtub performance of the musical theatre of love (w. either ian, matt or slink moss on guitar at the chelsea hotel or great eastern hotel, london respectively)
haunting & terribly moving & really rock & roll in the most conceptual sense but not really a band
tho we did have our groupies;)
there was one band however when your beloved was still post pubescent chubby, had not discovered hair products or even contact lenses (i know, a little scary, but i hear i was cute, promise i will look for a photo) & played bass in the short lived THE JAYNE MANSFIELD in boston in the 80s, with rita rat & dave colburn when they were living in rita's guru dad's ashram outside of harvard square
we used to practice in the basement where there lived the biggest tv i had ever seen in my young (19) age & this was a major tv way before home entertainment systems & flat screens, the room was set up with rows of florescent furry pillows laid out in concentric semi-circles in front of the set
i was never invited to watch any movies, so i don't know what was on the guru menu
this was, gulp, pre video movies anyway
but, ah-hem, to sulk in the boudoir . . this is where i have played many conceptual-noir-operatic-cinematic-tours-de-force, many of which are the source of much gorgeousness & infamy & equal sorrow & lament . . (to be continued)
(& yes, i am still listening to hercules & love affair, as should you)
i remember your 19 yr old look....hmmm

i am pretty cute
i remember when i lived in berlin i kept calling everything cute, it is kinda a bad habit, but for me, i mean it & they kept asking me what is this cute & we worked on a translation but all they could come up with was nett (nice) or glucklich (happy or lucky)
so not cute but they tried
