But we are trying we are trying to stimulate the economy.... namely, having people buy SCARLET and VAN HELSING JOURNAL.... besides, some of the reviews I doubt
would make one rush out and buy certain titles we reviewed...

Well, John, the wonderful thing about Scarlet's reviewers is that they love the genre...they are lifelong fans
of the genre, and have the smarts and perception to write about it. If I had a nickel for every misquote or just downright WRONG information I'd read in a
film-related book, I'd be a millionaire.

I thought that you were a millionaire. Kevin told me that he sold your painting for Scarlet #1 for a million.

But after taxes were taken out, Michael (whom I now know personally, after writing to him immediately after seeing his first cover on line and then checking
out his pieces - and he has, ahem, beautiful pieces, boys!) found he was, like Horace Vandergelder in HELLO, DOLLY only "half-a-millionaire."
John, just have Harry send me a stinky book and I promise to crucify it for you. I have done so several times in my capacity as book reviewer at Talkin' Broadway's All That Chat! |

Re "All That Chat" - yes, often the writers there have a real talent for skilled invective. I just enjoyed reading your imaginative conversation with Dr. Lecter in Scarlet #2.

"Having a talent isn't worth much unless you know what to do with it." (Isn't that the working girl motto?)

Thanks, John. I 've been tickled by the positive response I've gotten to the review from the attorneys here at work - no, Harry, I couldn't force
them all to buy copies, so a xerox has been going around. And to my mom, but that's it, I promise.

Wasnt that the motto for the School of Visual Arts (which I attended from '74-'78)?
I know Miss Dietrich said after a "Blackglama" ad shoot, "Darling, the legs arent so beautiful, I just know what to do with them." |

How well I know, also being a '78 alum. I remember the entertaining graduation speech given by a certain cover artist... |

Oh, that's right, you could write a "I knew him when" book...tho I doubt it would be a bestseller! We should try and meet some
day. Do you remember that drunken fool John Ashbury at the graduation ceremony? My mother was mortified, and my friend Nan's mom said to me on the phone
the following day "How did you like that son of a bitch?"

It was more lucid and entertaining than the one given by John Ashbury, that much I can tell you.
