The Honest Courtesan

I’ll kill this motherfucker.  –  Brian Williams

I’m sure most of my readers have seen any scene from Pee Wee’s Playhouse, Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, etc I might choose to memorialize Paul Reubens with, so instead I dug up the first thing I ever saw him in, which you probably haven’t seen unless you’re as old as I am or nearly so.  The links above the video were provided by Gustavo Turner; Radley Balko; David Ley; Brooke Magnanti & Franklin Harris; Jesse Walker; Nun Ya; and David Ley again, in that order.

I find paywalls distasteful, and so many people find this blog valuable as a resource I just can’t bring myself to install one.  Furthermore, I find ad delivery services (whose content I have no say over) even more distasteful.  But as I’m now semi-retired from sex work, I can’t self-sponsor this blog by myself any longer.  So if you value my writing enough that you would pay to see it if it were paywalled, please consider subscribing; there are four different levels to fit all budgets.  Or if that doesn’t work for you, please consider showing your generosity with a one-time donation; you can Paypal to maggiemcneill@earthlink.net or else email me at the same address to make other arrangements.  Thanks so much!
