Kevin Thomas was a joy, as always, but the Malachosky part...well...it needs a background check. And it has had one. And it wasn't what everyone likes to think. Mae West was not an overly- proper, normal old lady. She was a sexual being, very unorthodox, and frank with TRUE intimates, till her last days. That is a fact. Why some people want her memory to be like that of Barbara Cartland or Queen Elizabeth II, I don't know. But it is not fact. It is safe to say I am the youngest of all MW fans and am friends with many of her friends (who were in their teens, 20's and 30's in the 1960's and 70's), and I intend to keep the truth alive--the memory accurate. 29 years after her passing, her memory must not suddenly become distorted, due to some sexual prigs projecting their own lack of a libidinous past onto Mae West. I am saddened to see, as of late, some people's "issues" with an older person having a sexual nature or plopping out a well- preserved breast in chosen company. I would think most find her an inspiration, thus giving us hope for our own Golden Years.Manwest38noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661417.post-90266393143080230252009-03-10T22:12:00.000-04:002009-03-10T22:12:00.000-04:00I hardly recognize your description of the UCLA MW...I hardly recognize your description of the UCLA MW event. Kevin Thomas definitely had the highest credibility, acknowledging Tim Malchosky in her life and the costumes he brought that night. No one believed the Dan Price story about her pulling her breast out-totally incongruous. If anyone was asleep, they were dead!Fun night!mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195655029225543967noreply@blogger.com
