Dear Internet Diary,

Fri, 17 May 2013 13:07:43 -0400

I haven’t had much time to draw for fun recently, but I realized yesterday that I’m at a major crossroads in two different fields. By mid June, one or both or neither (can’t kill my pessimist streak) is going to take a big step forward. I’m a lucky girl.

More drawings of dumb shit no one really needs coming soon!

XOXO

No fun.

20 Rules You Should Never Break On Set

20 Rules You Should Never Break On Set:

assistantdirector:

Yesterday I posed a simple question to those who like The Black and Blue’s Facebook page: “When on a film set, what’s the one rule nobody should ever break?” Within the hour, dozens of responses poured in. The answers ranged from the profound to the practical to the peculiar. Many recommended turning cell phones off&

Number 8 and number 10 are two of my favorites.

All of this is the truth.

ESPECIALLY NUMERO UNO.

If everyone could just do #7 my life would be 100000x times easier.

Accidentally dyed my hands green at work. Hope it catches on as a spring trend.

I really admire whoever does these.

Mary Astor & George S. Kaufman, 1936

“His first initial is G, and I fell like a ton of bricks. I met him Friday. Saturday he called for me at the Ambassador and we went to the Casino for lunch and had a very gay time! Monday—we ducked out of the boring party. It was very hot so we got a cab and drove around the park a few times and the park was, well, the park, and he held my hand and said he’d like to kiss me but didn’t.

Tuesday night we had a dinner at ‘21’ and on the way to see Run Little Chillun he did kiss me—and I don’t think either of us remember much what the show was about. We played kneesies during the first two acts, my hand wasn’t in my own lap during the third. It’s been years since I’ve felt up a man in public, but I just got carried away.

Afterwards we had a drink someplace and then went to a little flat in 73rd Street where we could be alone, and it was all very thrilling and beautiful. Once George lays down his glasses, he is quite a different man. His powers of recuperation are amazing, and we made love all night long. It all worked perfectly, and we shared our fourth climax at dawn. I didn’t see much of anybody else the rest of the time—we saw every show in town, had grand fun together and went frequently to 73rd Street where he fucked the living daylights out of me.”

—Excerpts published in Kenneth Anger’s Hollywood Babylon, from the diary of actress Mary Astor, whose affair with the playwright and critic George S. Kaufman was exposed during her 1936 custody battle. She claimed the snippets leaked to the tabloids were inaccurate. We’ll never know: A judge in 1952 had it burned. (New York Magazine)

Another fun (weird/creepy) fact about teenage me: I went through a period where I was OBSESSED with George S. Kaufman- read all his plays (even the really awful ones), read biographies on him, etc. Yep, full blown theatre nerd shit.

Had I read the above passage at 16 I probably would have just straight up passed out.
