Halloween, ‘66, the Blanco home. An angel, an “old lady,” wearing an aunt’s dress from the olden days of the ‘50s, and whatever costume my sister Gina had just doffed. There’s an inherent eeriness and pathos to old Halloween photos, old family photos in general, even when my face is filled with joy.

Diane Arbus revisits these orphans of the storm, Lillian (BOTD) and Dorothy Gish, in this 1964 photo. Their fur coats flecked with snow, they still look beautiful, and in Lillian’s case, indomitable enough to live another 30 years.

Age yourself with a movie you saw in the cinema as a kid.

When buying books, really when buying ANYTHING, support local brick-and-mortar shops. Like Alvin Orloff (@disasteramaboysf.bsky.social) and his aptly named Fabulosa Books on Castro. The spirit of the old much missed Castro Theatre lives on in its window.

The always handsome and dapper @shutterslut.bsky.social and I at the People’s March. We’ve been together so long that we’ve started to dress alike, as you can tell by our subtle color palettes. I’m honored to be wearing his much-missed Mom Ginny Stein’s pearls.

Great wallpaper! It’s funny because our new landlords are currently stripping the ugly ‘70s wallpaper in the lobby. Underneath is gorgeous ‘30s or ‘40s wallpaper. Grey, cream and rose colored. We’re going to ask if we can have a section to frame and hang in our apartment.

I’ve written an Oscar rant! It’s about my disappointment with three of the contenders for Best Picture. So, I propose a special Oscar this year for Most Overrated, Overblown or Overlong Movie. Spoiler alert, the winner, which is very much the loser in this case, is Emilia Perez!
