After all, I used to sell men's fragrances and skin care products and have a penchant for dressing nicely... and I do still use the stuff myself (and I happen to wear men's cologne that WOMEN happen to like on me - not so much myself or other men) ...And even though I am not gay - most of my friends happen to be women.. I enjoy having conversations with them far more than with (yawn) men. I've always felt completely alien to the type of guy who always likes to hang around a bunch of other guys all the time, can only manage a greasy 'Hey Baby' whenever a woman is unfortunate to get near enough to him, and feels himself to be 'manly' whenever he dumps half a bottle of Green Polo over his head... No thanks.

Have no problems admitting this either... no need to wrestle Bulls - although I've wrestled with some women who were close enough..

Sir Paul

Welcome Aboard!

Personally, I think you should keep your current name.... Now I know that at first glance these people may LOOK innocent... but there's always more than meets the eye!

i have framed some odd things in my career.

i didn't mind framing a penthouse spread.

i did mind framing a "slave bat".

Sir Paul

What in the world are you... up to, in your latest photo there Azzy?? (wink wink)

Are you related to anyone famous?

by Mulan in

i thought this might be a fun "fluff" thread.

someone posted the other day that marc anthony (the singer) is their cousin.

i have done extensive genealogy research so i know a few famous relatives.

Sir Paul

My Greatgrandparents (on my mothers side) were Beauforts from England.. so I'm distantly related to all the old Beaufort kings and Queens of England... I believe Henry The VIII falls in there somewhere..

Have YOU Ever Met Up With Anyone Famous

by RAYZORBLADE in

have any of you on this forum, ever met up with anyone considered famous?

i've met a great deal of people over the years.

one of my most memorable: dennis leary, drinking a few pints with him as he sang "margaritaville" from the jukebox.

Sir Paul

I used to be pretty involved with acting at one point, nothing to really write home about - But I've had a few featured spots in a few Vegas-based Films and TV shows... Met the whole CSI cast of course (rode in the bus with them), Met Andy Garcia, George Clooney (who is VERY nice and chatty) and Brad Pitt (Great guy - shyer than you'd think he'd be) on O11... Met Robert Wagner on Play it to the Bone (horrible movie - but I got to do a little scene with Rob..) as well as Woody Harrelson (Taller than you'd think he'd be) and Antonio Bandaras (fairly short - But nice) as well as Antonio's family (Melanie and the kid) ..Hmm let's see... 'Met' Julia Roberts twice now.. from America's Sweethearts and O11.. and Catherine Zeta Jones and Billy Crytal from America's Sweethearts (Catherine was gorgeous in person) ...Oh yeah, almost forgot - John Cusack was there too and during a break in filming I felt someone put there hands on my shoulders balancing themselves trying to get through the crowd - and I turned around, and it was John.... (Tall guy too) Hmmm.. Maybe he was just trying to 'cop a feel'? LOL... Well, in any case, he was a nice guy and (ladies) now my shoulders are 'blessed' by John Cussack. LOL

Outside of film sets, I also met and spoke to Diane Keaton while I was acting as host for Border Grill when it first opened here in Vegas, and have also met Andre Agassi many many times back when he had hair - as we grew up in the same neighborhood, and he used to go in the big video store I used to work in.. (psst.. back then, he favored the 'red room' if you know what I mean) I liked him though.. great guy. Met his fiance/wife Stefi years later at the mall when I was selling Men's Fragrance - as she bought a whole bunch of Gendarme for Andre (Gendarme is a brand that's very light - good for people who are normally allergic to cologne..)

I met the Carters (Rosalynn and Jimbo) this past Valentine's day, and did some artwork for them which I hear is hanging in their house now.. :)

Allright.. I'll stop showing off now.. Perhaps it would've just been easier to say who I haven't met yet - Haven't met Jack Nicholson... so there...

What Makes A Person A Potential "Apostate"?

the more i think about things, the more i believe that i have been, as the society likes to say, "courting sin".

for years, i've questioned internally, the policies of the watchtower, the teachings, the directives of co's and do's and the overall "attitude" of jw's.

mind you, no one would have ever thought that i didn't believe this is without a doubt the "truth".

Sir Paul

Anyone that has a streak of independance about them that is not too quick to follow others advice or wants...

Speaking of 'Really Hot Bods' - Nice picie Stac!

by Lutece in

Bah.. I was Pharaoh! Never met Cleo though... she was AFTER my time! LOLOL

Just Get Over It?

by sens in

in the last couple of days ive been reading info on the un & wts ...so have been pretty absorbed with the amount of info out there on the wts...

anyway...it hasnt been that long since i left the wts...and a close friend of mine (never a witness) said to me ,twice now, and rather strongly again today...

"its over, you have left, get over it...your obsessed with this, who cares, just get over it before it drives you mad...its really pathetic"

Sir Paul

Tink: - I'm Really sorry to hear that... 'I' would certainly understand of course! {wink wink}

Well, it's like David Reed said in his book (which I got from the library) 'BLOOD ON THE ALTAR'... That depending on whatever amount of time that you spent WITHIN the Org getting yourself INDOCTRINATED... It's reasonable to expect it to take an almost equal amount getting Dis-Indoctrinated.. It just takes a lot of time, there's no overnight cures when it comes to something like this.

I've been away from them for years, (8 or 9 now) and I've read a few books by other people that had escaped the org themselves (Barbara Harrison's 'Visions of Glory' was my first) and that helped me a great deal... And it's amazing to me now, that as real as it might have seemed then.. How completely ridiculous and cultlike it obviously is now...

But that's 'the rub' for me I guess, that continues to cause me to dwell on those years long passed - that there are many others now, particularly young children, many of which could have bright futures otherwise, that are trapped in this 'man-serving nonsense' that ultimately has no real purpose..
