Secret Oeuvre






Just working up the cover for my low-budget, non-consensual-sex-filled, printed-on-high-acid-paper-soon-to-yellow-and-then-crumble, hidden-in-your-mom's-top-dresser-drawer, Danskin-wrap-dress-clad 1970s-style erotic romance novel. You didn't know I was writing one, did you? Neither did I but doesn't it seem like a good idea?




...just as soon as it is written, xeroxed, collated and stapled, I will be taking orders!






thank you Sarge for the pearl

Jane Austen meets Belle de Jour perhaps? A pearl is to wisdom as a writer is to her many magnificent words.

"Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts! unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe top full
Of direst cruelty; make thick my blood,
Stop up the access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose."

You're a pearl of a girl.

Well, it's jolly good to see you've got the cover all set!

Was in your neighborhood yesterday. After MoMA, we met friends and ate at a joint on Smith near Bergen. Apartment 138. Nice stuff!

You little minx! And we didn't even guess you were that sort of girl... Let me know when you're taking orders. ;-)

Hunter said...

That's quite the fitting photo, Leah!

Leah said...

Kylie, it's almost ready! Just need a fundraiser to cover xerox costs!

Sav, I was cracking myself up in front of the mirror. Almost swallowed the pearl...

Leah said...

Jimmy dear, I'm speechless with delight at your return!

Sausage Fingers said...

Wow, I might have to get a copy and run into the loo and lock the door!!
can't wait...

Baino said...

I dont' think I've ever read an erotic 1970's novel but man I love writing that shit. It's awesome.

nick said...

Well, that photo is pretty exciting. Can't wait for the text to go with it. Should I pick up a few tranquillisers before I start reading, just in case I get over-excited?

Leah said...

Miss Scarlet, extracts are all I'm writing!

Pat, maybe I will make a book of book covers...

Brian, I wish I could get everyone to write one of these!

Leah said...

Why Mistress, that is sweet!

UB, I've never been there! Will take it under advisement.

Map, lol

Miss P, if only I could lend my lips out for some erotic novel covers and make little extra cash...

Hunter, it's funnily accurate, right? Right down to the haziness.

Sausage, it's bound to be a door-locker! : )

Baino, it's the most fun. In theory anyway...

Nick, the tranquilizers come taped to the back!

Megan said...

I wants to reads it, oh yes I does.

63mago said...

Am ... oh ... yes, please!

Leah said...

Meg, will it be written? Possibly not. But I want to read it too! In the meantime, check out "The Lonely Lady" by Harold Robbins!

mago, : D
