Holy Toledo!
Saturday, September 15th, 2007
There were three occasions when I met Miss December 1968 Cynthia Myers, the Toledo, Ohio native whose Playmate appearance was titled “Wholly Toledo!” The first was at the Hollywood Collectors Show during the Summer of 1995. On this occasion, I purchased a Playboy Magazine from her to get Hugh Hefner to sign as detailed here. The second time was during a Chicago Glamourcon visit in May of 1999. There I purchased the photo below, tastefully censored to continue the family atmosphere of The Terrible Catsafterme. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s no secret that one of my favorite flicks in the world is the bizarre David Lynch dreamy feature Mulholland Dr. One review I read of the film describes it as a movie that will ”get under your skin” and that is exactly what it did to me. On the surface, if you care to check it out, you may find it utterly confusing and completely repulsive, so enter with caution. But as I say, I like it…so I was very interested to visit one of the locations from the film during one of my trips to California. 
I don’t usually like to write about the website on the website, but no real in-depth glance of my life would be complete without mentioning the time spent on putting this together – especially considering I would like to be able to look back on the website to capture the flavor of any given era. Whereas when I reflect on events or time periods of the past and I can usually summarize a broad overview of not only what was going on eventwise, but what was going on in my head, when I write about current events, I miss the brushstroke that paints the atmosphere of this time period. And certainly a key element to the year 2007 would be the work I have done on this site. 
I had had some cake the night before at The Smoke House courtesy of my friends, but other than that, I pretty much forgot that Sunday, October 2, 2005 was even my birthday. The day was packed with things to do so there wasn’t time to think of such things. We kicked off the morning with a nice hearty breakfast at the Burbank Airport Marriott Hotel & Convention Center where we had stayed the night. We had a great buffet, but best of all, we dined with two former Our Gang members Patsy Barry and Joy Wurgaft Lane, whose husbands treated us.
