where's the santa hat...

I fear I may have roped my dear Brock into my Manson obsession. Last night, he sent me a divine glamour shot of killer Susan Atkins. The photo, clearly taken post-incarceration is quite something. I responded to Brock,

"How interesting!

1. Why does she get Glamour shots? She stabbed a pregnant woman to death.

2. Why select the hand pose? The hair? The gaze? Each so specific, so fantasy-driven.

3. Who was this shot for? Certainly not the press, although to dare but to dream. A lover? A pen pal lover? Fascinating!!!!!"

Brock's enthusiastic response?

"Isn't it the greatest shot, ever?

1. I think in prison you get to have these kinds of shots done, like during the holidays and stuff.

2. TOTALLY. It might be LSD flashbacks, the fantasy-driven part.

3. Her husband, maybe? God? She was really into both of them.

Also, Leslie Van Houten is GORGEOUS. Even today. She was the Linda Evangelista of the group."

I think it's fantastic that Brock's decided prisoners get to take glamour shots "during the holidays." Anyway, I think this can wrap up my 40th Anniversary re-hashing of the Manson Family. We're be back in 10 years, unless of course Squeaky gets me first...
