FIRST OF ALL I HAVE A.D.D. (my doctor says it has to do with attention.)
THEREFORE have been an: International Art Dealer; Macro-economist;
Publisher: The Art Advisor, The Curious Capitalist; called ’08 Crash, both
publications; positions liquidated 7/5/07; finishing a very startling
memoir about my life as a dope fiend and punk rock singer on the Lower East
Side with Johnny Thunders and DeeDee Ramone, and how these experiences
prepared me to become a beautiful and very glamorous international art dealer.
EXCEPT I got bored with being glamorous & now buy my clothes where teenagers
shop and haven’t been on a plane or in a pair of high-heels in two and half
years. Plus I threw out my make-up.
INTERESTS?
Certainly not men. But not women either. I don’t know. Maybe both.
But not at once. Then again, why not at once. Guess I’m confused. Actually
I’m kind of a unicorn (or is that a eunuch? who can remember?) ‘course
I did take LSD for 30 days straight (right before SATs) but seriously
