NauenThen

From the vault

This is me circa 1982 in my first public boxing match.Mud boxing — that's what's on my face. Johnny Stanton was my teacher & my second, which is how I got to know him. This was at More Party Than Arty at Charas. I fought poet Rose Lesniak, who kept saying, I'm an actor! Don't hit me in the face! After a while, I didn't know how to end things so we both fell down. (To calls of "Fix!" I have to admit.)

 

What am I wearing, you ask? A silver lamé & black showgirl suit with pearls. Whoohoo! 

 

Also, happy Bloomsday.
