Renata Wing is and was everything to Hollobecque, she was gifted, angry yet serenely angry, like a statue of rage, she was a thinker and a doer, a rulebreaker but a tasteful, cultured rulebreaker. And she could choose things: she was cultured but so not bourgeois,.
Renata:(is a scorpio. knows it.)
I was a stripper, a dancer, go-go, whatever, before I met these people and whipped ‘em all into shape. That’s how I met Kathleen, It was such a weird day. No, that’s right (laughs)
it was Nighttime. And I was working, I was stripping, I should say, at The Bunker, the place that gave the best tips back in the eighties. And all the girls were like; I can’t wait to get enough money to go to college! So I was like; well fuck. They’re stupid.
What do I want to waste all this money for, so I can get some lame ass job doing what somebody else wants me to do?
I was a little heavier then. I danced all I could and saved the money. I dumpster dived, food stamps…whatever. This was before I met Holly. By the time I met Holly well…I had a lot of money in the bank from squatting, dancing, collecting welfare…being a good girl…
that is how i got so skinny!(she crosses her skinny legs.)
Since then I have been painting and living off my earnings. I still dance. but not for horny old men who just drool. Except Holly of course, but it’s hard to make him horny – he is obsessed with his work which is why he is an excellent companion, he’s so undemanding, very sociable, but – anyway that's pretty much my story? Is this thing on?
(laughs again) Kathleen? Well, Kathleen was there too, and it was Kathleen, well she convinced me that I should keep painting. I was doing art then, but I was scattered, unbalanced. Now I – well I owe her everything, I love her to death. Absolutely? She’s a great great lover,painter, speaker, dancer? Oh you got to see her dance, my god! Anyway, she can speak for herself, but I will say this much: if I had to share a man with any of the other sluts in Philadelphia I might be scared, but Kathy’s my main man, you know what I mean?
(Renata is clearly something weird. She begins biting her toenails and continues talking while the interviewer holds the microphone silently.) All the world’s a stage they say. And there are no small parts, and Kathleen…she’s the star of my show. I so adore her.
Sally Dubrovnik Loves Her Job
I turn the key to let myself into the place. the thing is the way he lit it. I mean, I never started noticing the lighting in people's houses as much as since i started shacking up with Mark.
Mark is in the kitchen cooking eggs, I can smell it and it smells good.
"hey, slutface," he calls out without turning around.
"Hey, whore! How you doing baby?"
It was a real surprise cause Mark was at the stove wearing a towel, he must have just came out of the shower. And i didn't know from the picture which was the first i saw of him but he has a really smoking body....since we started going together we play this game of calling each other whore, slut ass, sick fucker...it's a game...dinner smells good...
"is tonight the night?"
"oh yeah," i say. "I'm down if you're down." "I'm down." i say without pretending. Mark and I have so much fun together, in bed, pretty much all the time it's pretty chill.
it's great. i'm always in this crazy good mood...oh, yuou know what I mean, it's too much to explain.
well, can we have some, uh." says Mark looking into the oven, some dinner first? babe?" and he shuts the oven, turns it off and turns around to face me. He has tatoos of constellations on his shoulders and ribs, it's pretty sexy...he is standing there in the towel...
and we kiss.
it's really nice. all day long i was shopping and thinking about this moment, rehearsing it in my mind. and we kiss and it's nice and then pull down his bath towel and grab his stiff penis...i look into his eyes and push the tip of it up against my panties...and he smiles. i know he can feel the heat and dampness...and i playfully push the head of his penis against my damp vulva...
then i suck his dick.
i take it into my mouth a little at a time, while i cup his balls and his ass, oh, he has such a nice firm bum!
and i just suck the tip of his dick for a while...
and then he says, "baby, i gotta turn off the eggs."
so I stand there and watch him cook the batter for egg foo young and we just chill. soon Mark pours some wine on top of the food and we sit down to eat.
then we are sitting down drinking and eating, drinking the purple wine he always stocks up on...we drink gallons of it...I'm always pissing! it's hysterical.
so while we're noshing i ask him "so or we gonna be live tonight?"
he looks concerned. "I was thinking about it...i was thinking we could tape stuff for later...but if you wanna go live tonight, we can do that." he smiled, wanly. "oh, you're so easy to get along with!"
he takes a big slug of wine. "I was thinking we could edit what we do tonight later with that cool app, remember i showed you last night, baby? all the shimmering, dancing colors"
...it was some computer program, Mark knows more about that stuff than i do...but it was awesome, like a liquid lights show across our bodies as we make love...for the camera...on the island bed...in the middle of the warehouse floor.
"so you wanna do this tonight, love?" he asks me quietly.
"yeah, tight, lets do this. let's go live. can you get that two way talk thing going again? that was wild."
I'm excited.
it's like...Mark used to be a junkie, but he somehow totally cleaned all his shit out and got like super healthy...he drinks a lot of wine, but that's like...i could get really used to this drinking wine all the time...oh fuck...i have...
"Yeah, that's all part of the deal." and he smiles.
we have been putting on sex shows and making money off the web for like months now, it rocks...he and i let people basically jack off and watch our webcam, where we fuck, and they can watch and listen!...and really that's what we do. it fucking rawks. it SO beats working.
so today is a day, an average day in the life of Sally Dubrovnik, porn star. It is kinda lowbrow glamourous, which is just fine...
basically Mark and i are self-styled "philosophical whores." i mean, down to the details. all of our friends are whores too. it's like a secret family...what mark and I do is actually kind of soft core ...
(they make love. pans show psychedelick lighting that is so advanced, it renders the senses buzzed as they make fabulous love with extreme sensitivity and obvious real caring for each other. the viewer realises as he or she watches that this, this! is what makes erotica different from the gross and demeaning mass market porn. here we see sally and mark getting down like people who really love each other, and so fashionably lit you don't question the sumptuousness of their apartment... and neither do the other voyeurs that the view changes to show. we see all over the world people are tuning in to the mark and sally show...sometimes' it's what one expects: lonely men furtively jerking off...but we also see:
a young punk couple looking kind of clean and sharp, piercings and cool threads. they are eating popcorn and watching the show on their computers.--
a sarariman and a young woman sit legs folded chatting and mildly shocked but smiling at the scene on the screen...
basically mark and sally determined to take the world by horny interrracial porno storm, without leaving home. they have done it but now, now that we have seen--
because mark and sally have a relationship untouched by petty jealousies; they by graces both met each other and were too wise to give in to that sort of thing-- sally is so happy that mark came right out and said to her --
"what you do with your body is your own business. as long as you come home every once in a while...when we have the show to put out."
so theirs was a relationship unhindered by the social jealousies and petty deceptions that harried most people in relationships back in 2003
