The children are catching Longlegs fever. They are buying pastel lipsticks and applying too much face powder. They are writing Marc Bolan lyrics in bathroom stalls. They are paying $75 for a New LP of Lou Reed's "Transformer".

On the Sleazoids podcast @willowcatelyn.bsky.social and I talk about films that are **not** in the book but made quite an impression on us. We talk Tenebrae which features Eva Robins and the fury of her red stiletto and her softcore star vehicle Eva Man, featuring another trans icon, Ajita Wilson.

I thought this was a pretty neat thing that we did. But please don't confuse it with canonization/gatekeeping, we just like these films and filmmakers.
