• • The Mae West Blog celebrates its 13th anniversary • •
• • Thank you for reading, sending questions, and posting comments during these past thirteen years. Not long ago, we entertained 3,497 visitors. And we reached a milestone recently when we completed 3,800 blog posts. Wow!

Not posting on S32 anymore or are you just taking a well deserved break?
ReplyDelete• • Hello, J.D.
ReplyDelete• • The Hollywood harassment posts I made on Stage32, which indicated a "climate change" in Tinseltown, were done in earnest to spark a dialogue.
• • However, I was not expecting the very discouraging feedback. Seems like many males on Stage32 defended this sort of crude behavior [from Weinstein, Toback, etc.] and/or feel it's some sort of droit de seigneur when you're making money for the studio.
• • I am not referring to you, J.D.
• • This made me take a step back.
• • I'm "processing" this antagonism, you might say.
• • It was a nice surprise to hear from you, my friend.
You are missed. Your posts and those of Mike Pell make S32 worth perusing on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteDear J.D.:
ReplyDelete• • Awfully kind of you to write to me, my Stage32 gaffer friend.
• • OK. I shall return!
