This was what I was looking for. I wandered blissfully out of the eighties, amongst wonderful names like Asa Richardson, Summer and Rebekah Weston, Capt. Jonas Barnaby and Hannah Ruggles. From the other end of the cemetery, surrounded by trees, all I could see of Reading was the wooden town hall. Behind it, the sun threw up enormous streaks of orange, pink and red; it looked like the town, and maybe everything beyond it up to the rusty lip of the horizon, could be on fire. That was fine with...
Michael Richardson-Bach of Weston won the men's club singles...
Mapplethorpe's imagery comes trailing a long pedigree, from the Yellow Book decadence of Aubrey Beardsley to Edward Weston's peppers, from Cocteau's classical echoes and erotomania to the chiseled male nudes shot by George Platt Lynes in the '30s and '40s. It also indulges a fascination with style and surface that is very much of the present.

Each is tryin't' sell th' ranch from under th' other's nose--Weston t' a tacky nightclub owner named Ellis (Caroline Bicks), Ella t' a slick lawyer who's th' head zombie (Ethan Mintz).

I liked Weston's hobo outfit that makes him look like Emmett Kelly Jr., Wesley's jeans that sit too low in th' seat and that zip instead of button, Ella's sensible shoes with heels th' size of hockey pucks, Emma's cute little shitkickers and Ellis' golden drugstorecowboy suit. I 'specially liked what th' two thugs (Laurence Thomsen n' Eric Oleson) wear: plaid bellbottoms n' white chaps, respectively (n' the yo-yo is a nice touch, Laurence). Not too accurate--no self-respectin' Westerner would be caught...
