• • "Sex Drive" • •
• • An item appeared in Variety on Monday, 21 May 1973. Mae West mentioned she was writing a new book "Sex Drive," that would include real names and be largely autobiographical.
• • Either Mae couldn't find a publisher in 1973 or the 80-year-old icon was giving that frisky title a test drive — — and then went straight to the idea junkyard and abandoned this brain-storm.
• • On Thursday, 21 May 1992 • •
• • The paperback version of "Mae West: Empress of Sex" by Maurice Leonard was released on Thursday, 21 May 1992. Mr. Leonard took a smirking view of Mae and his insulting book (lacking any footnotes) is not worth reading..
• • Overheard in Hollywood • •
• • The crowd admires Mae West because she does things which everyone would like to be able to do — — but also because she creates a world where nothing is impossible.
• • In Her Own Words • •
• • Mae West said: "Years ago there was a Mae West playing burlesque In the East, and only a few years back I had trouble stopping a burlesque queen In Pittsburgh from using my name."
• • Quote, Unquote • •
• • A British poetry newsletter mentioned Mae West.
• • Artist Christine Kennedy is a Sheffield-based writer, too. Her publications include contributions to Reality Street’s 4Pack 4: Renga+ and a chapbook "Possessions" (2003). Her credits include the group show 10x10x10 at Sheffield’s Bloc Studios and "Dusting the Mae West Memorial Library." . . .

• • The Mae West Blog celebrates its 10th anniversary • •
• • Thank you for reading, sending questions, and posting comments during this past decade. The other day we entertained 3,497 visitors. And we reached a milestone recently when we completed 3,100 blog posts. Wow!
• • By the Numbers • •
• • The Mae West Blog was started ten years ago in July 2004. You are reading the 3183rd 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.
