  • It was always Ginger

    In real life – Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) received twice the amount of fan mail then Ginger (Tina Louise) during the run of the show. How can that be? Was it the seemingly intelligence factor that enticed men or was it the girl next door, down to earth perkiness which endeared her most to fans?

  • Feeling Trapped in Freedom

    Lady walks aimlessly searching for the corner where Ava Gardner once appeared smiling. A shoe shiner is singing an old blues song about lost love while Homer sits and dreams listening to the lyrics.

  • The Stuff That Makes me Smile

    Sunrises on the boardwalk, the beach in front of me and a lady walking from the water carrying her heels and wearing a nightgown from last night’s event. She smiles at me and I smile back…stale perfume and unkempt hair falling onto her face. Sunrise and a boat in the water, a lone person with…
