Having the great good fortune to count Felix In Hollywood (Philip) as my
neighbor and friend, occasionally, during the summer we bundle food, various textiles to wrap about ourselves and assorted non-alcoholic beverages and we head down to the cemetery for a viewing of some film or another.
Originally Hollywood Forever featured only the very bad and tasteless that had spewed out of the studios gates, collectively, over the previous century. Movies like, "Johnny Guitar", and, "Kiss, Kiss, Kill, Kill". Cinema I had secretly loved for many years. 
At 14 I briefly owned one of Esther Williams bathing suits.
Ok, I didn't own it exactly. We, my family had taken possession of it for a brief time.
My mother excitedly brought it into my room. My brother and sister were outside building a fort.
Hmm
A blue, green, silver and gold sequined number, this bathing suit. The frame on the inside I am sure was designed by Hughes Aircraft, so many ribs and all that wiring. If only I had the swimsuit and been able to watch "Johnny Guitar" at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery...
That would have been Some Kinda Glamour!
Though I'm not sure what Jerry is doing.
I once knew a man who was into that, so it's fairly common

WooHoo! The dam is burst. Let the fun begin.

My bras are constructed of a complex series of pulleys and flying buttresses so I can just imagine.
Oh, and welcome to our world.
Felix sent me.
everybody should have at least one cemetery

Charlie, Charlie, Charlie! (I'm just so happy you are here. And sorry you couldn't join us for "Dog Eat Dog." All I can say is ... wow.)
