I heard the Bangles are getting back together. In fact they'll be on the Craig Kilborn show tonight. ASH looks too good in drag. The Bangles and the Go-Gos have been in the studio for quite sometime putting together all-new albums. I saw VH1 specials on both bands about a year ago, and that was how they both ended -- runion albums and tours in the works. Hopefully they'll all be out soon. Like I said, those Behind the Music specials were a year ago.

Willing to see ASH as almost anything, and believe he can do most anything... That said, Tim Curry still rules for the Men in Bustiers and Fishnets category. No argument regarding Tim Curry as the definitive Dr. Frank N. Furter, but having personally heard ASH's version of "Sweet Transvestite", I can tell you our Mr. Giles is no slouch in the fishnets, either. I know you must be shuddering with antica..........pation.

Of course, I had to wait until my kids were old enough to watch it when they were around. There is still a huge ewwww factor for them when Dr. F makes his entrance in the elevator. I never did get the transvestite part of it until I was in my 30's.

With all due respect to the working S'cubies, at least you get paid for it. Unlike us non-employed unpaid stay at home moms who get no respect and no pay (and to the working moms - I've tried it, and I don't see how you manage, let alone stay sane!). And I must say I am really sick of marking myself as "unemployed' on questionnaires! And Paul came home with a bad headache, so I have to keep the girls quiet, make sure Kitsa does her homework and her chores, and find a dinner everyone will eat, while Emily bounces off the walls, because tomorrow is Snickett Day - The Slippery Slope comes out tomorrow. along with The Bad Beginning, Rare Edition. I've promised faithfully to be outside our Bookstar promptly at 10AM tomorrow to pick up our copies. Which is more than anybody wanted to know. I know, I know, whine, whine, whine. Done venting, going away now... Having only recently been unemployed (without the luxury of a spouse to support me), you shall not hear me whine about long Mondays. And as far as the "unemployed" housewife, that's pure flippersmackin' balderash. As a society we have a bad habit of not respecting the work done by the full-time stay-at-home parent/spouse. We describe them by saying they "don't work" when indeed many work harder than many of us who are employed by some company or other outside source. It's a travesty. I recall my (ex)wife lamenting after we got married about the concept of going to work. She was intelligent and college educated -- okay, in retrospect, she was simply college educated -- and as such had it in her head that she was supposed to go out into the world and make her mark for womankind, that by following her true desire to stay at home and be a full-time wife and mother, she was somehow letting down the cause of feminism. It was a while before she finally came to terms with the concept that a truly feminist marital arrangement is one where both parties can come to a mutual agreement as to what roles each spouse plays in the household, even if the roles they choose are the traditional roles of the male as the breadwinner and the female staying behind to manage the household. Feminism lies not in the gender roles, but in the ability of each spouse to chart their own destiny free of restraint, and to work outside the home not because you want to but because you think you have to (for reasons other than you need the money) actually undermines the feminist cause because it still continues to limits the woman's choices as to what she can do with her life.

Deborah was wondering if you might be interested in meeting in Chicago with her and eg. Can't do it - I live on Long Island (New York state), and am plug in the middle of the semester. Any traveling I do is usually AFTER/BEFORE the semester. (I hate those mid-semester conferences.). Way too many during-semster commitments.

As you can see, Giles has already comandered my feather boa. Bummer. Here's a website for you Giles/Rocky Horror fans to check out, including MP3s and streaming audio versions of "Sweet Tranvestite" as crooned by Mr. Head himself. You might find yourself asking, "Tim Curry WHO!?" www.rockymusic.org/cds/head.html

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Captain has turned on the no posting sign. The Soulful Spike Society will be landing at Part 44 shortly. Please finish any current posts, return your trays and seats to their full and upright positions. A man in a feather boa and fishnet stockings will be by shortly to collect your headphones and any trash you may have.

Ladies and Gentlemen, our flight through Part 43 has now come to a close. Please check around you to ensure that you haven't left any personal belongings, and be very careful when opening the overhead bins as some items may have shifted in flight.
If you need any help making the transition to Part 44, a man in a feather boa and fishnet stockings will be in the lobby.
For now, this part is closed. We thank you for flying Soulful Spike Society Airlines and hope to see you in Part 44.
