BLUE & RED TEA


the other day my doll of a friend~ ricardo carranza & i had a private tea salon here @ antebellum.
i called it the BLUE & RED TEA SALON~ blue glass tea cups & red rosies from antebellum's garden.
i decided to serve ASSAM FLOWERY B.O.P black tea recently given to me by fellow tea devotees~ JEFF NEFF & WINDOM NEWTON. 

accompanied by candied ginger pieces & dried cranberries, we had a very nice tea, reflective of the day.

"DEATH COMES TO HOLLYWOOD"


"Death Comes to Hollywood"


for Rick Castro

Lou Tellegen plungd scissors
into his heart
Clara Blandick slid a plastic bag
over her head

Florence Lawrence   ant paste
Pete Duel   gun
John Belushi   speedball

& the fliers
Irene from Knickerbocker Hotel
Peg Entwistle from Hollywood sign


wannabes & hasbeens
all took death
into their own hands
while other hands
gave death as a gift
to William Desmond Taylor & Elizabeth Short
Ramon Novarro & Sal Mineo



& in her quiet room
Carla Laemmle watchd it all go by
finally slipping into sleep at 104
