‘I have a beard fetish, spit coming out of a bearded mouth is almost too much for me to handle’: Meet DC’s select international male escorts for the month of June 2017

timeismoney, 22
Paris

I’m a young, smart twink student who’s looking for a SugarDaddy, if you know what I mean. I’m technically an escort, I’m not a prostitute. These are not the same.

Money for living. Money for education. Money for food. Money for clothes. Money for medication. Money for me.

Have been tricking with older men on a part time basis for two years and now feel ready to move to a first full time position.

When I’m not getting fucked I’m considered to be intelligent and hard working, able to blend in with others in the world.

You want me?

Real criticism of a real customer.
The photo of this boy is not true.
It has photo shop.
This boy has a deform chest,
Cute face, but of disturbing body.
It would be a perfect escort for those who only like face.
S ‘was a good user of photoshop,
There would be no urge to take a lot of pictures of this boy’s body.
It would be so nice to be able to admire, to touch the body in this Photoshop.

Collin Simpson What’s there not to like about Collin Simpson. He’s truly is a great kid with a huge cock and beautiful body. He has one of the best attitudes of any model we’ve ever filmed. Extremely confident and excited to enter the escorting industry. He’s about 5’11” and weighs about 175 lbs and wants a blowjob and will take other requests under consideration. He’s fucking HOT! 5’10″/1.78m height 9″23cm cock 24

gaymadness, 19

I’m a nice boy. Being great is most important to me.

I don’t think I’ve had my sexual revolution yet, so I’m happy I found this site.

I’d say I’m a bottom because I love getting fucked hard.

I didn’t post pix of my ass because I try to be as discreet as possible about it. If you don’t like it when you see me naked, I’ll leave right away. All good. No worries. No problem.

I’m too skinny right now, with ribs you will see. If I gained 5kgs, I won’t be skinny anymore. Another reason why you guys should start lining up to pound the fuck outta me. I gain weight when I get fucked a lot.

Guys say I have a nice cranium.

My body has some hair but I get a full-body wax every 5 weeks or so. Too hot for body hair in the Philippines for me. My cock is super small, and I forget that sometimes.

Exhibitionism turns me on. I want to try getting fucked on the rooftop, at the pool, by a window, on a balcony, for example. No women & children can see though. Definitely don’t want to traumatize anyone.

Piss is not a problem although I am better a little drunk for that.

People make me anxious, so I’d rather not meet in very public places like coffee shops, malls, etc.

I smoke cigarettes and drink a lot of coffee.

Rumi says, “What you seek is seeking you.” So, come & get it.

What an incredible hot offer! Yes, you don’t see double!

These gay Escorts are coming as a double package and at least one of them will make your dreams come true! High-Class companions are flocking in from all over the world to meet them in a climate of acute sex.

The rates are for both together. They offer wild double experience in their chic and clean apartment. Miguel have a 21 years old, great ass with not very educated or intelligent. Danilo have 25 years old, 8′ cock with also not very educated or intelligent.

They will not take the lead, but if you take the lead you will have the most erotic scene ever.

If you are looking at their photos and do not want to have sex with them, you are lying to yourself!

I’m 14 years old and want to get fucked and I’m looking for $$$ and fast sex.

I also crave humiliation as I don’t have any self worth.

BY CONTACTING ME YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY FORM OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Ok, ok, I’m 24 years old, ok? I was just doing a fantasy for fun! Can’t a twink have fun even in this weird place?!

Anonymous – June 3, 2017
I took a look at his ID when he was taking shower afterwards. He’s not 14. He’s 15!

scorpion_xxl – May 29, 2017
Had him tonight, and he’s a great bottom, and boyish, sure, but he is not 14 years old. It’s obviously a sales gimmick. If he’s 14 years old i am my own grandmother.

Anonymous – May 14, 2017
Since I wrote my review of NathanielGuerrero dated April 12, this escort has changed his profile. At the time of our date, he stated his age as 18. Although he looked and seemed younger, I had no reason to think those qualities weren’t genetic. Let me say unequivocally, I would not have had sex with him had I known he was underaged.

Anonymous – April 12, 2017
I had the dreamiest, “can’t believe my luck” sex ever with this tender, delicate boy. If you’re a closeted “molester” like me, run don’t walk!

WONDER_TOP – Dec 18, 2016
I was passing through Malmo again and made a second date with this escort whose loveliness had haunted me ever since our first encounter. It was like night and day. Just in the five weeks in-between, he has changed radically, not in his appearance but inside where it shouldn’t even count. His former sweetness, which so impressed me in its naturalness, now seemed like nothing more than the baldly calculating and cynical come-on of a creep. The sex itself was as hot as ever, but my orgasm had no staying power. And I think he tried to rob me.

WONDER_TOP – Nov 9, 2016
I asked a flower of a god,
He gave a garden to me.
I asked tree of a god,
He provided a forest to me.
I asked a river of a god,
He gave an ocean to me.
I asked a friend of a god,
And he sent you to become I.

Age limit is roughly at 25 but depends on personality, looks and attraction.

*Fun fact, I’m non-binary, but biologically, I’m male, so there’s that.

Trust_my_ass, 20
Lyon

Rule # 1: I decide (date/time/place).
Rule 2: Compulsory anal intercourse, no negotiation possible on this subject.
Rule 3: Always hand me the money accompanied by the last HIV screening test before the act.

I set the rules, that does not make me a complicated young man, quite the contrary, I am nature, I smile, and speak empathetically vis-a-vis my neighbors as well as with myself.

I like precision, with me, no lie is useless.

My first goal obviously is monetary, I take a liking to this system, and I like this feeling that my body is marketable.

I developed an immense obsession for sex, I am not the boy of a single man because I can not.

I am more than just open-minded, I have absolutely no taboos, I prefer to see myself naked for a whole day rather than suffocated in clothes preventing you or me from playing with my body.

Sexually, I am passive, but a passive who masturbates systematically morning and evening, sometimes at lunch, so much to say that even I also find myself irresistible.

I will ask only one thing, generosity, over and over again.

NOTICE TO THE POPULATION, TO ALL CUSTOMERS SEEKING A REAL YOUNG SLUT: Drop your escorts in cardboard and come to meet Adam … I did not think I could find a real pig boy, bingo I fell on it. This boy is incredible. Unlike these guys who are only there to collect wheat. I did not think that an escort like him could exist on this site. Go there with your eyes closed, you will not regret it. And do not be afraid to make him wear a hood, I did! It enhances the excitement and then the whites of his eyes is enough to capture his expression! Others should think of putting one on him, not to hide his face but to avoid us those looks of dead fish that empty our pockets without tiring!!
Long life to you my piggy!

I like to tell you that you were my youngest, wildest and best bottom in the last years. I needed only 10 minutes in this wild fuck and you just did it and as I blasted a triple sized load in your burning hot guts you came like a storm all over yourself. I was seldom in my life so satisfied after my orgasm. If you would be here today I would fuck you again so hard you would become an epileptic.

He also has most adorable, horniest ass I’ve ever pounded. And believe, me he can take as hard as you can dish it out! I can’t believe my slamming job didn’t break his back!

Hey boo,
We introduce myself on this site, to offer you from time to time, gang bang on our person. A financial contribution of 100 euros will be required!

Yes we! For practical questions, tell us in the first place that you come to the gang bang in your messages!

We can be really shameless, it’s one of our strenghts.

We’re HIV neg and on prEP, got vaccines for HPV, Hepatitis A/B, and tested in every 2 weeks. Doing bareback basically is fine to us, if you want to leave a load in us it’s your own decision. We’re NOT HIV-friendly though, and if you tell us you’re poz, the price will be higher in this case, so if you are, you should probably just lie.

We are not against customer loyalty, quite the contrary!
cordially

I’m just looking for some one to give me a new outlook on life and to do things to me that’s never been done to me, but I am looking for a guy that has foot fetish. I like my feet to be played with and sucked on. I don’t have one but I enjoy the guys that do have one. I also have a serious spit and saliva fetish. I also have a beard fetish, spit coming out of a bearded mouth is almost too much for me to handle.

p.s. Hey. ** Bill, Hey. Awesome. About your name being all over the post. Mazen Kerbaj: I’m not sure if I know that work. I will check and investigate if not. We restart editing today, and, yeah, I think it’s going great, but I guess we’ll see if the boss agrees tomorrow. Excellent day! I hope it’s not as hideously hot there as it is here. Unless you want it to be. ** Kyler, Hi. I can only imagine. Thanks about the film showing tomorrow. Me too, and I’m trying to prepare myself to be our film’s genius defense attorney if not. ** H, Hi. Happy you like his work. Thanks about the screening. Fingers very crossed. News on Saturday. Nice that you got a bit of rain. We’re broiling here today. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. Well, as I know I’ve already mentioned, Balthazar C. is very protective of his father. When he got wind of ‘The Marbled Swarm’ pre-release, he contacted me to let me know that any unfair negatives re: his dad would not be tolerated, but I told him PC is a great hero of mine and that the novel would bear that out, and I guess he either read the novel and was okay with it or forgot about it or something. ** Steevee, Very best of luck with the Voice and/or The Quietus. Excellent news that your actor fulfilled your hopes for his performance. You can do a quick run through/rehearsal prior to filming, no? You’re as busy as me. Knock on wood for us both. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. Yeah, the problem with posting visual art here is that realism-based work is by far the easiest to represent in the blog format. The kind of work I especially like doesn’t translate effectively at all into the kind of representation this place is capable of, so I rarely even try. And, well, yes indeed about Charles Ray. ** Chris dankland, Hi, Chris! Yes, Dora’s piece is magnificent, isn’t it? Cool, real happy that some the art pulled you in. Wow, the premise of ‘The Nightlife’ sounds very sweet and exciting. I can’t wait to get my eyes and other faculties on that. Great news! I’ll probably catch the news via Facebook, but do alert us here too at publication time too if you don’t mind. Yum. Excerpts! I’ll devour them as soon as I’m able. Everyone, the great Chris Dankland has a new fiction eBook coming out at month’s end called ‘The Nightlife’, and, if that isn’t exciting enough, you can check out some excerpts right now by doing as little as clicking these words. Oh, sure, ‘Day is Done’ is super great. I too really hope it ends up being accessible on DVD or online for normal people like us. That’s the problem with art, that it’s aimed by its galleries at collectors who want to buy things that no one else can watch, and Mike was represented by Gagosian at that point which is perhaps the world’s greediest gallery. Yes, I would be extremely happy to restore my Mike Kelley post, and I will do that asap. Right now Zac and I are editing the film ourselves. Our producer arranged for a professional editor to start working with us on Monday as a precautionary measure, I guess, since most films are edited by pros even though we don’t need or want a pro’s help. So, unless our producer is sufficiently dazzled by our edit tomorrow, I guess we’ll start working with the pro on Monday, and I just hope she is prepared to do our bidding, because we are not going to give up control of the film’s edit. Zac is skilled with film editing programs both from his earlier video work and from a job he had years ago as an editor of TV commercial work. I can’t wait for you to see the film too! I’m very excited about it! Your Texan hugs were most welcome and helpful, and do take some Parisian ones, and I do apologize for their slight sweatiness due to our sudden heatwave. ** Misanthrope, Thank you! I just hung out with Michael, Bene, and their little lad Milo yesterday, and I can say from first hand experience that babies seem pretty fucking inedible and not delicious-seeming on that level. That fingernail detail in your bad dream is, of course, the most curious aspect, at least to me. Dream interpreting maestro Bernard Welt might disagree. Gotta hand shit in, yep. Where would this blog be, for instance, if I didn’t hand in my posts every morning? ** With that, I now (re)turn your attention to the escorts post for this month. See you tomorrow.

Robert Beatty Day

 

‘With a career spanning gas station janitor to house renovator, Kentucky-based graphic designer, artist, and musician Robert Beatty is endearingly surprised at the attention his design and illustration has been receiving over the past few years. He’s possibly the only one who is, though, as even the most cursory glance at his portfolio reveals the extent of his skill.

‘ā€œIt’s really novel for me that I’m even recognized for what I’m doing,ā€ he tells me. ā€œI’ve known this is what I wanted to do all my life, but I didn’t take a path I knew was going to lead here.ā€

‘Rather than going to art school, Beatty graduated high school and pursued music, and a few other jobs to tide him over. He’s self-taught, in a way, but he wouldn’t use that term himself. Instead, he thinks of his artistic career as simply an extension of a life-long obsession with learning about the things that captivate him most.

‘ā€œI’ve been drawing for as long as I remember, and I had a lot of support from my parents and teachers,ā€ he says. ā€œWhen I was younger I always said I wanted to draw comics when I grew up. I came to graphics though music and collecting records; I’d always look to see who’d designed them, or when I bought magazines as a teenager, I’d look to see who the art director was.ā€

‘While many have surmised that Beatty’s style is the product of 60s and 70s album artwork fandom—Roger Dean’s work for Yes seems an obvious inspiration—in fact, his influences are drawn from more esoteric sources. The first sleeve design that really excited him was Masakazu Kitayama’s for the Cornelius album Fantasma, but his main reference points today include Polish animation by the likes of Piotr Kamler, 60s and 70s adverts, the work of artist Lillian Schwartz, and experimental films. He’s also been making the most of the University of Kentucky’s resources, poring over their arts library’s collection of old Graphis and IDEA annuals. ā€œPeople assume the stuff I’m referencing is 70s record covers or Krautrock, but I’m basically trying to continue in the way things were done before computers,ā€ says Beatty. ā€œPre-digital graphic arts is my favorite era stylistically, and while I love people like Milton Glaser and Herb Lubalin, I generally take more from illustration and animation.ā€

‘The proliferation of images in the pages of these old graphics annuals is something Beatty has drawn on in his new book, Floodgate Companion, to be published by Floating World Comics in October this year. With no internal text whatsoever, the foil embossed, clothbound, hardcover book instead presents a series of seemingly interconnected images that force the reader to construct their own meanings. ā€œThere’s not a narrative, but there’s definitely a relationship between the images. I structured it more like an experimental film than a book,ā€ says Beatty.

‘ā€œThe initial idea kinda came from those old design annuals and seeing all of this work by tons of different artists presented on the page together. There’s almost a relationship between them, even though they don’t necessarily relate. A lot of the images in the book have nothing to do with each other, or are different stylistically, but you make connections.ā€

‘In his early days creating sleeve designs for friends, Beatty worked mainly by hand, before scanning images for digital finishing. While some of the images in Floodgate Companion were made as pen and ink drawings, and digitised for coloring, for the most part he now goes straight to Illustrator and Photoshop. ā€œI don’t really do sketches,ā€ he says, and even for commissions for the New York Times, it’s often the first image he submits that becomes the final design: ā€œI just find it easier to send what could be the final image than to build up sketches.ā€

‘The beguiling nature of Beatty’s work is born of its opacity: he delights in hinting at an idea, but never truly giving it away. That’s what’s made his record sleeve designs so successful: the irresistible taste of what’s inside the packaging hinted for the viewer to discover their own story. The images he creates are disparate in style and theme, but united by a refusal to give too much away. ā€œI really like not telling people what something is, or how to think about it,ā€ he says. ā€œI don’t like having an artist’s statement—I want the work to speak for itself and let people make their own interpretations.ā€’ — Eye On Design

‘If they’re lucky, Robert Beatty’s succulent, airbrush-like artworks can sometimes grace the covers of bands’ albums, thus making them cool, successful and lucky in love and good fortune forever. Robert’s magic touch is a unique style lifted from way back when life on earth was cooler, and from some cauldron of fluid in his brain from which he draws impressive draughtsmanship and weird ideas.’ — It’s Nice That

Three Legged Race

‘Robert Beatty records his solo work under the name Three Legged Race, a project focused on claustrophobic geometries, intensely disfigured narratives, and genre-free experimentation. It’s electronic music most overtly, but defrocked of its sheen, with any conceivable hallmark of commercialism littered on the gravel. Beatty’s recent celebrated performances as Three Legged Race abandoned prior synthesizer-dependent set-ups in favor of an intentionally dematerialized approach, employing just a sequencer program in an iPhone, and a lone tape machine.’ — collaged

Interview
from Tiny Mix Tapes

 

What are your thoughts on the current state of album art? There aren’t many instantly recognizable artists floating around, but rather certain trends, like vintage collaging, that are being widely used. Do you feel a part of any specific movement like that?

I am pretty turned off by a lot of current record cover art. So much of it seems tossed off and lazy, but then again so does a lot of the music it is framing. It seems that with so much anonymous imagery being available on the internet, appropriation has stopped being a tool to transform the existing in something new and has become an easy way out. People seem so eager to adopt an aesthetic they view as desirable without trying to add anything of their own to it or creating something new. I’m sure this is a byproduct of the immediacy of the internet and the fact that most people only see record covers as a tiny thumbnail on a screen now.

People often see my work and assume it is appropriated because of the techniques I use, but I hope I am bringing something new to a tradition that I feel is greatly neglected now. I don’t think people are used to seeing so much work being put into something that for most people is secondary to the music. I try to make each cover fit the music as well as I possibly can and also put as much of myself into the work as possible. It’s very easy with Tumblr and other such blogs to just become another anonymous jpeg in a never ending stream of imagery. All in all, I’m just trying to make the best work I can for the music that I’m doing it for and always pushing myself to do new things and avoid falling into any sort of trends.

Do you see any merit in really simple collage art then, where two or three images have been thrown together? I guess it depends on the piece, but with your work you typically have at least some drawn element in there, right?

I am a huge fan of collage and a lot of the work I do is basically collage at the core, just made of elements that I created. I use collage all the time for show fliers and other things that a lot of people don’t see, but I try to always add something or combine things in an unexpected way. I’m not against appropriation at all, I just feel a lot of times it stems from laziness and imitation. The simplest solutions are most of the time the best and I often wish my work ended up being simpler than it is.

It can be hard to get really simple, it seems like the more work you do, the tendency is to pile more elements on. Not you specifically, but in general.

I just tend to end up with images that are way more complicated than they need to be. I’m pretty psyched about the new Peaking Lights record cover I did because of how simple it is.

What were some childhood and teenage influences?

I’ve always been a huge fan of animation and I feel like that has informed my work more than anything. Seeing things like Terry Gilliam’s animated sequences in Monty Python and weird Eastern European animation on the University of Kentucky Arts channel. I was pretty into to comic books when I was a teenager, so I’m sure that helped as well. There are so many things that influenced me that I loved when I was younger — Cal Schenkel’s art for the Mothers of Invention records, the art on a lot of the mid 1990s Matador records, Rene Laloux and Roland Topor’s Fantastic Planet, Alan Aldridge’s Beatles Illustrated Lyrics book, Grand Royal Magazine.

It seems like you mostly work on show fliers and album covers now, I’m guessing because they pay the bills. Do you prefer doing personal work or commissioned stuff?

I enjoy doing both and I try to keep a good balance between the two. I just enjoy doing art in any way, so it’s nice to be able to do it all the time

I’m also wondering how you approach covers for your own records versus a stranger’s; is there any important difference?

I actually have a relatively hard time coming up with art that I am happy with for my own music, specifically Three Legged Race stuff, which is just me. I often end up turning to doing something hand-drawn because it feels more appropriate.

I think a lot of artists are trying to sell an ambiguous idea that your airbrush style conveys, it’s almost like a comfort, maybe? Or why has that style caught on?

I think the appeal is that it evokes something that people can’t place. It definitely calls to mind the past, but I feel like there is a lot of potential in it to say something new. I like the idea that is so often associated with trash culture now, even though it used to be on the cover of every major magazine.

It’s interesting that old styles are being used to express more modern ideas, how all these things from the past are new conduits, there’s something almost demented about it.

Yeah. I feel like things move too fast now and tools that are still useful are being left behind without seeing their full potential. Also, the time commitment to learning traditional airbrush work is offset now by being able to imitate it with a computer.

Are there any specific goals or ambitions you have in your music?

Hopefully I’m leaving people with more questions than answers. I’ve got nothing to prove, but a lot to prod. I just want to keep making insane and adventurous music and art and doing things I haven’t done before. I’m trying to just take everything I like and mix it together to create something new and exciting. Confusion is sex, and I will continue to hide behind the curtain so people never quite know what’s happening.

I’ll wrap up by throwing out some random questions. What’s your favorite font?

I am pretty obsessed with Microgramma bold. It’s kind of a boring font that you see everywhere, but I love how industrial and stark it feels.

As you get older, do you find less inspiration in music and art?

No, the exact opposite. The older I get the more I want to do. I wish I had more time in the day or a couple clones.

In relation to music and art, is cynicism a totally negative force?

I think there is a certain power in being skeptical and questioning things, but I try to be encouraging to others around me and keep a positive outlook most of the time. Complaining about things you can’t control doesn’t get you anywhere. I am always excited to try new things and push myself to do things I’ve never done before. There’s a lot of bullshit in this world and I hope I’m not contributing to it.

How important is success to you at this stage in your life?

I’m just happy to be doing what I want to be doing and hope to be able to keep it up. I’m not trying to get rich, but it would be nice to make a comfortable living doing art and music. I ended up where I am playing noise music in shitty basements for nothing, so I’m pretty happy with how far I’ve come.

‘I’d say I’m happiest with my work when it combines all of the elements of what I do into one cohesive whole. Using sound, graphics, and video to achieve a work that conveys something that can’t get across with just a record cover or music video. Usually this ends up being things that aren’t as high profile as most of the work I do, since most of the work people see are commissioned pieces such as record covers and music videos, which seem to me to be a part of someone else’s work anyway. Video and installation best allow me to combine everything I do into one self contained piece. My video “Landline” from my 2011 “Cream Grid Reruns” installation at Institute 193 stands in my mind as one of my most successful executions of this and I plan to do more work like this in the near future.’ — Robert Beatty

p.s. Hey. ** Jamie, Hi, J, wow, top of the draw. Which means you get me with the least amount of coffee, but I’ll do my utmost. Thanks for sharing your limbo. You get mine too. Good timing. Me too: I have a thing for snow globes, and when I go places that have souvenir snow globes on offer, I always check them out, and they’re never quite exciting enough, so ultimately I think I’m too picky (and non-moneyed up enough) to be a decent snow globe collector. Having that fall-back apartment but be relieving, assuming it’s not a dump or something, and I assume your friend wouldn’t have lived in a dump. Fingers ongoingly crossed. Yesterday’s editing went very well. We ended up watching the current cut at the end of the day. We still have a lot of work/fiddling to do, but we were both excited to see that the film we want is so close to the surface now. We have to show our cut to our producer next Friday, so we’ll be hunkering and hammering until then. My Friday is pre-ordained. What about yours? Punch-key love, Dennis. ** H, Hi. Thanks. ‘Un femme douce’ is a severe one, even for him, its true, but getting to watch that one in the theater is a pretty rare opportunity so … hm. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. Well, she was with some pretty serious looking men whom she was listening to very seriously, so it didn’t like the right time, but I would say hi if I bumped into her, I think. Yes, and that most famous snow globe was in my post. ** Marshall Reese, Hi, Marshall. Thanks a lot for coming here, and for linking me up with your snow globes. Those are yours? That’s your company or something? Respect to you in that case, or, well, really in any case. Thanks again! Take care! ** Steevee, Hi. ‘Sucker’ is a quite good album and in the same-ish vein. I don’t know Iggy Azalea’s music. Thanks for the luck! And I hope the Beatty post turned out okay for you. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben, Yes, under the circumstances, it does seem like you guys got a surprisingly good outcome, which is a whole lot better than nothing, right? What now, I wonder. ** S., Hi. Your diet and mine are so oppositional. That’s exciting. The words ‘haunted’ and ‘cute’ together always make me nervous. The head banging kid … who’s that? There’s a head banging kid in our movie. Well, one and a half head banging kids. Well, not really kids. ** Nicholas Jason Rhoades, Hey there, buddy. It has been a bit. Jesus, so sorry about the big mess with your ‘health taker’. Shouldn’t it be ‘heath giver’? Maybe in that guy’s case the first term is accurate. Thanks for propping my mom. Man, you’ve had your fair share of mishaps since I last talked with you, Jesus, but the mural’s progress is a sliver lining, so good news on that. Well, certainly take care, my friend. ** Misanthrope, Yes, please do. Gisele and I really wanted to make a ‘Kindertotenlieder’ snow globe to sell at the shows, but of course the expense was prohibitive, but we might be setting up a ‘Kindertotenlieder’ Japan tour, in which case we might spring for it anyway since we have this feeling it could do biz there. Oh, yeah, ‘Wonder Woman’. I’ll wait for a flight for that, but I am curious. ** Alistair, Hi, Alistair! I am well, thank you very much. The editing goes excitingly and will hopefully pay off as we have dreamed. The fact that the next book is percolating in some way is probably enough for now, and a next book’s insistent percolating is its most underrated phase. I do think about Bresson re: the film. Not in the moment of actually making it, but I do when we’re devising the kinds of performances we want, and I thought of Bresson just yesterday when we were watching the current cut of the film, how his work is in there, or, more lik,e behind there, and how the way the film works is not how his films work but yet isn’t so different at the same time, which probably makes no sense, but I often end up making no sense when I think/talk about Bresson. Short answer: yes. You have an absolutely splendid weekend, Mr. Mc! ** Kyler, Hi. Oh, interesting. I don’t think I ever experience that kind of forgetting. I sometimes think that doing the p.s. has been very good training for my memory. I have to remember so many things to do it properly. Happy Full Moon to you, assuming the sleeplessness part isn’t a huge drag. ** Okay. Today’s post happened because d.l. Steevee was talking about Robert Beatty and wrote something about him and all of that triggered the idea to do a post about his work, which isn’t a particularly interesting backstory, but that’s the story’s back. See you tomorrow.
