• • A shoddy essay (4035 words) on gay theatre, rife with misspelt words and odd punctuation, mentioned Mae West. A web site is actually trying to SELL some poor fool this trashy assemblage of 16 pages cobbled together by a dunce (or a chimp with a keyboard). Too risible and too too pathetic that nonsense like this has a price tag.

• • The Mae West Blog was started eight years ago in July 2004. You are reading the 2602nd blog post. Unlike many blogs, which draw upon reprinted content from a newspaper or a magazine and/ or summaries, links, or photos, the mainstay of this blog is its fresh material focused on the life and career of Mae West, herself an American original.
