Fabulosity, French sailors, Quentin, Boston Terriers, home decor, TIGHTWADDERY IS SEXY, the Orient Express, home improvement projects, dancing on tables, Fire Island, roller-skating to disco songs, nude modeling.
Music
ROXY MUSIC FOREVER, David Bowie, Suede, New Order, the Smiths, Rolling Stones, Elastica, the Zep, Brian Eno, Blur, the Velvet Underground, Bauhaus, French chanson-pop of the 60's, Joy Division, Bryan Ferry's excellent solo work, roller-skating songs, late-70s breakbeat/disco (I know it when I hear it and my booty must obey), an abiding love for the Fabulous Sylvester.
Movies
Bonnie and Clyde, Faster Pussycat Kill Kill, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, The Hunger, Clockwork Orange, Chinatown, Brokeback Mountain, Gimme Shelter, Monterey Pop, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, Saturday Night at the Baths, Die Konsequenz, the films of Doris Wishman (esp. Bad Girls Go to Hell, Let Me Die a Woman!, Another Day Another Man, Double Agent 73 and Deadly Weapons) Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, pseudo-homoerotic Westerns of the 1950's, vintage gay porn.
Television
The American Experience, Nature, and Frontline on PBS. Sometimes Antiques Roadshow. OK, I also watch CSI. And I cannot wait to watch American Idol with my matelot + a bottle of wine + a digital camera.
Books
"The Well of Loneliness" by Radclyffe Hall: melodramatic yet strangely compelling. ALSO: "Homophobia: A History" by Byrne Fone: an amazingly tantalizing subject, and long overdue for analysis, but I believe Fone has managed to make banal what is surely the most virulent form of prejudice in the Western world. How is it possible to make sex dull?
Heroes
Oscar Wilde, Bryan Ferry. Two men far ahead of their times.

About me: Dressing up for no reason continues to be the reason I get out of my bed every day. I want a beautiful apartment where I can paint my kitchen aqua and have a number of cherry-red appliances, with chrome accents, of course. I love my new KitchenAid immersion blender! I'll never give up my Vera curtains, and anyone who wishes to be a part of my life must accept the Vera curtains. VIVA LA VERA. Oh, and please buy my book. It's the one you've been hearing me complain/enthuse about for six years: "THE FORBIDDEN APPLE: A CENTURY OF SEX AND SIN IN NEW YORK CITY" (forthcoming in 2009)!!
Who I'd like to meet: I've already met The One, and her mother and I have exchanged recipes.
