Most women tell me that they were seduced by poetry or work ideas, spoken words. Poetry can be used for seduction or as a transportative device into the higher dimensions. It all depends on what you really want from it. In most cases, the seducer was someone they wouldn’t ordinarily even want to meet in a crowded elevator. There are millions of casual sexual predators out there, and flirtation is not yet outlawed, though it soon will be. Continue reading
My longtime friends Diana Dors and Richard Dawson got married. It was the ideal marriage — two show biz success stories. Di was another Marilyn Monroe, and Dickie was the next exciting young male lead actor.
It looked from outside like the Perfect Couple in the Perfect Marriage.
I saw it from the inside, as a friend and frequent house visitor, as well as working with Dickie Dawson at KHJ-TV on his Tempo Show. I have a few photos of us doing the morning show, but we also did a radio show there and another one at KWIZ in Santa Ana for a few months.
I watched their Perfect Wedding, was a witness to the aftermath of their Perfect Honeymoon, and witnessed the not-very-slow disintegration of their love affair just about the time the wedding ceremony and reception were over. Continue reading
Tattoo-Fashions lead designers LeslieAnn on left, Amy on right, inspecting full-color temp tats on a printed sale sheet.
My BBBBFF Amy and I stood around in 94 degree heat yesterday like a couple of teenage girls, chatting and giggling and carrying on to the point of attracting some attention from casual bystanders, but did we care??? Continue reading
I didn’t publish this story until Tiffany herself happened to notice the incredible resemblence… had she not said anything, I’d never have published these photos, but she did, so I will.
A very large number of folks commented to me about that posting a few weeks ago. They were clearly confused by this obviously vintage photo of Tiffany Woodbury at the top of this blog, but it isn’t.
It’s in fact a vintage photo of my live-in girlfriend Tiffany Miller, taken in 1964. We were in our friends’ commercial kitchen at Nicola Twins Market. Les and Mike and Mike Jr. were longtime family friends. We called them “the Lebanese Butchers” and I met Danny Thomas and his daughter here. Tiff is wearing one of Jon’s originals!!!
I took these on our 1930s porch on Edgecliffe in Sunset Silverlake District of Los Angeles. We lived in a very luxurious and beautiful home designed by architect William Wrigley. The roof was curved and very expensive to repair, but worth every penny. The floors were polished hardwood, and all the fixtures were original with the house. We used to shop at the Wholesale Antique Mart — we had a resale license, of course, because Tiffany was a decorator and interior designer by trade, executive by demeanor, and a model by choice.

Yes, it’s here, and Leilajiva is willing to teach Tantra classes on weekends, so I’ve dedicated this Ryu water temple & teaching space for her work with you.
See You At The Top!!!

Ooooh, (feminine squeaks & squeals) we had a great five minute photo session in town with Amy, showing my newest latest arm AND LEG designs for shamanic healers, but we only took snappers of the arms.
I’ll be doing lots of photos of my temp tats and body art as we go through the next season. Amy is a tattoo designer of note, and I hope to be able to work with her on my shamanic transfer tats, something I’ve been working on for the past seven years, but now, it’s the right time.
See, on the other side of the Shift, you didn’t see tattoos on virtually everyone you saw on the street, right? And now you do. Another sign of the Shift, but we tend to discredit our memories as soon as we pass, whether it’s a Shift or Death & Transfiguration. Continue reading
Here I am in my new Tat Parlor with some of my newest, latest tats. There’ll be more right next door, three shops in all. I’m wearing my cool face tat, which I’ll have for sale real soon. This is my first shop since 2013, and I’m very proud of it. My tats are all magickal in nature, not tribal or sexual.
I believe in “tit for tat”, my Dad Horace would introduce himself to a young lady back in the ’50s, “may I offer you some tat?”
Little did he know that tattoos would become the standard for Americans, that 90% of all kids born in 2014 will have tattooed faces, hands, torso, feet and genitalia. You’ll be able to pick off the Old Ones by their lack of tattoo. Continue reading
I have a shop online — http://www.tattoo-fashions.com — which features handpainted garments. Actually nothing there even remotely resembles a tattoo. Why the title, then? Seemed like a good idea at the time. Continue reading
This was a very popular book back in the day of the Vietnam war, and is directed at same; yet the idea is so profound, it can be used to describe our psycho-emotional condition at any given moment.
How often have we heard the expression, “The Enemy Within”? We know from Shakespeare that every protagonist has within himself a “fatal flaw” which brings down kings, queens and dictators alike.
Wouldn’t you like a handle on that enemy within? Wouldn’t it be nice to conquer that self-destructive idiot that hides deep inside your darkest subconscious cavern?
Problem is, would you recognize the enemy if you saw him? And what if the enemy looked like you? What if the enemy was, in fact, you??? Continue reading
In art, especially when you’re just learning the advanced levels, as I was at Otis Art Institute on that fateful day in 1967, you eventually learn about “denying the form”. What this means is that you create an illusion, generally a three-dimensional illusion on canvas, such as a landscape oil painting, and then you paint big numbers and letters all over it, jolting the viewer back to the two-dimensional canvas, rather than the deep landscape underneath it.
Well, it happened to my beautiful Ashram, as I predicted it must. I by no means want to discourage builders, but they must learn, not just go wild. Frank Lloyd Wright really had something there when he expressed the opinion that a house should not just be planted down anywhere in any shape — it should take into consideration the environment into which it is going. It’s not just the Purple Penis and the Flying Fairy Ball — in themselves there’s nothing wrong with them in a private region or property, but this is not private, and you are not encouraged to go wild with self-expression; it’s a place of work.
I know it seems absurd of me to point out things like that as glaring examples of inappropriate style in the Ashram, but those examples go a long way toward explaining what I mean here. Continue reading
