When I went to the beauty shop Cinandre the other day I went into the room to change into a smock and forgot which side to wrap it to.

Dear Kathy,

Please tell me why you haven't written to me by now. I mailed you a letter some time ago and it is not like you not to write. Did you not get my letter? I would be absolutely sick over it so don't lie. I wrote all about my affair with Roger Vadim Jane Fonda's husband. I will die if you didn't get that letter. I was in Vogue March 1 and March 16.

where were you

him—out. her out where—him look just leave me alone—she slaps him they
fight
! he beats her she runs into bedroom falls on bed crying. After she's all cried out she very composed gets up slowly very dignified and walks calmly out of the room.

Today I met Tonight I met Laurie—transexual. She goes to Dr. Rich. He gave her the famous silicone bust which she claims is much softer than the implants but I forgot to ask her whether she was talking about the fat tissue implants which is done in Germany. She said she has a job as a barmaid but didn't say where. She said she makes $250.—a week. Also she said she is having the operation in 6 mos. Tiffany was there too who I thinks is really gorgeous. I still can not decide about the nose job. The sex change and everything else yes yes yes.

If I am going to be a woman I want the whole thing a home in the suberbs, a husband and strange as it may sound children.

I have just spoken to Taffy. She called me. I told her that I saw Anita Ekberg on television in a movie called “Screaming Mimi.” I told her how beautiful and alluring Miss Ekburg was and perhaps that is what we want to be. Taffy said that she is in analysis and no longer thinks she is a woman and perhaps she should be a man. Bob (her lover) has already said he would accept her that way. She said it may take 3 years but it is better than what she has this way. She said the reason we are the way we are is that we did not have suitable male identities while we were growing up. And just because we did not have suitable identities is no reason for us to think we are women. Perhaps she is right. She says it is $30.—per visit and it would help. Maybe God is speaking to me through Taffy. I am going to go to the premier of
Barbarella
tonight. It will probably be just a meaningless bore. I hope if it is I can visit Carlos and get him to get me that coat!

I also spoke to Ron Link today (I called him) and he said to forget the play that it was not enough time.

I am right now on the train on my way to N.Y. to the premier of
Barbarella
. I will get to N.Y. Penn. Sta. in just enough time to take the subway downtown to the Garrick Theatre on Bleecker St. just in time for the end. Well may be there'll be a party afterward. My upper lip is all bumpy I hope no one notices it. I feel I am rather through with men. Love of God will replace love of men and actually I don't feel I need a man. I don't hate them or anything. I see men and sometimes I feel if I were to have a man I would like one like that. But I have no longings or crushes or anything. And yet maybe I'm always hoping.

When depressed—

Make yourself as pretty as possible.

1. Get hair done. No money? Do it yourself.—

Do whatever you feel given to do.

Clean:

visit Seymour

Wed.—got to see Andy Wed. night after getting the dress. if I can't get the dress until Wed. I'll go on Thurs. Go to doctor on Wed.

I want to get a suntan tomorrow invite Cherly over—go shopping.

Dec.

I just finished doing my hair. I bleached it this morning (again I didn't leave it on long enough and I used balsam and Roux white minx rinse. I'm going to let it dry partly and reapply it. Yesterday in the mail I received a letter and wind up toy from Kathy.

I think music can elevate the human spirit.

You're always apt to being the target of someone's bad joke. Or known to be unacceptable. Like you know you're never going to meet someone's mother.

There exists a whole sub culture of people that are movie star oriented. There are many women who try to look like Elizabeth Taylor, Kim Novak, Veronica Lake, Jackie O.

Steven wake up. / Oh lovely let me sleep / Don't you want to see Mr. Garbage he's gorgeous. Hurry up Steven he looks like a young Burt Lancaster. There's something about a working man. Oh Steven he has muscles. / Are they looking up and whistling. /They saw me one told the other and then the other. / Are they carrying on and saying who's that gorgeous blonde? / They wouldn't waste their time on me. They know I'm not garbage.

You shouldn't look so disapproving Lavinia. It makes you look older and age will come soon enough to destroy that pretty face. A thing of beauty cannot remain so forever.

I was not always as you see me now there were kinder sweeter happier times.

I don't mind that little smile around a persons face when they talk about me.

Look for meaning.

The Ego has Two Heads

Dear Donald,

I regret to inform you that I have unwittingly been prodded into writing a paper to the benefit of your wife that she may benefit further from your pending divorce.

Please realize that I regret having done so most heartily. The paper that is written I am sure will have no credulance without my testimony which I do not intend to willingly give. If impelled to testify I can do no less than tell the truth which I am certain would damage Mrs. (Sandy) Amerling's case immeasurably. I do not quite appreciate the law which impels a man to be locked out of his own apartment which he has occupied and furnished before his wife.

Dear Niel,

It was so nice to hear from you. I'm glad to see you are doing well. Everyone from Mervyn's class is doing well. That's because they are all so good (not as actors, as souls.) Dana I know is in Japan giving the oriental populace a few thrills. Perhaps right now some suave Japanese man is showing Dana his junk. Some actors are so desperate to reach their goal that they never make it. I mean they reach their goal in the acting profession but never make it as people.

Tell Maria I said hello. Has anyone else over there even heard of me? By the way I am in Jan. & Feb. Photoplay, Dec. Esquire Dec. Nova, and the March issue of
Vogue
! I know I'm destined for stardom because when I walk along the street I sometimes see people staring at me and pointing. And the other day I overheard one woman saying to some man “I know where she belongs!” Also while uptown on a bus I had a tremendous black velvet slouch hat on, a trench coat, (knotted around the waist), and large dark glasses with aurora borealis trim, and when I put the two dimes in the machine the bus driver called me back and said “It's thirty cents Greta.” Around the village I'm affectionately known as “the actress.” My friends have many pet names for me like Marlene D-Train to Queens, Mamie Van Doorway or Diana Doorways. Instead of Audrey Hepburn Tawdry Heartburn Tana Lerner. All these things combined (last week I went to IFA and was
so glamorous
that I overheard a man in the outer room gasp out loud. Also the receptionist told the agent I was trying to see that “this one must be seen to be believed.”

This I hope will amuse George.

I'll never forget the night Sandy, George and I came home from the Sanctuary. When I asked her if I could stay over with George she said she didn't know where we would all sleep as Gil Gerard was staying over. What can I say? I was stunned. Gil was one of the most gorgeous studs on the set. I mean real A-l top quality grade A male flesh. I hoped to God he wasn't sleeping in the bed but on the sofa. My highest hope was that perhaps since we were coming in so late he would make an excuse to leave early and get dressed and get out. But my hopes were not realized. When we arrived at the apartment somewhere around 6 a.m. Sandy rang the bell cursing him and saying she hoped he hadn't left with the key. I said a silent prayer of thanks. However there was no reason to be thankful. Gil opened the door in nothing but his undershorts displaying a marvelous set of biceps, a deep rippled chest and muscular thick legs covered with a golden brown down. What a majestic sight! What a lump in the throat I got when walking into the apartment I discovered much to my dismay that gorgeous Gil had been sleeping in the spiders web and would probably continue (after he plunged into Sandy for a while) I felt. It was useless to hope for Gil and Sandy to just fall off to the land of Nod like a couple of tired children and it was useless. All I could concentrate on for the rest of the morning was the grunting and groaning and the sounds of the bed creaking. Gil left around 9 a.m. I was still too stunned to sleep, being persecuted to capacity. As Mr. Right was going out the door he saw I was not asleep and said goodbye. His face seemed to be saying to me it's really you I love mentally it was all you. But then I am not mentally well.

I have always been the goddess above it all untouchable. I explain my influence over men as simply this. I represent to many men a goddess who is untouchable and yet a goddess who needs him to make her happy.

No, it's the White House but the president is out demonstrating.

Yes it is up to me. That's kind of nice to say. It's up to me.

If you ever do progress to a higher level of human awareness. Stay there and do not ever come down. Think not to glorify the self but the great schemer. Seek no approval or applause from man.
