Hello, again - Anne here. As my parents didn't like me enough to give
me a middle name, my Soap Opera Name is just a single name, like
Sting or RuPaul...

Anne's Soap Opera Name: Milton!

Anne's Porn Star Name: Tiger Godley

Anyone else?

Well I never thought I'd have occasion to mention this, but a cousin of mine
had a cat named PussyPoo.

Actually, that's a great single name. I'm amazed nobody's thought of it.

That would work if you made videos for aesthetic realism (one of those
groups devoted to converting gay men to heterosexuals).

Franklin's soap name: Morris Gilham.

Franklin's porn name: Tartuffe Easterday.

I just saw an episode of "Men Behaving Badly", the one in which the
cute one's business associate dies at table, so Kevin and Jamie go to this
guy's hotel suite and start living it up. The ickie one says, when they
decide they need fake names, that the way to do that is to combine the
name of your first pet with that of your mother's maidenhood.

BTW:
My Soap name would be: The Princess

My Porn Star name would be: You Want Me To Put WHAT In My Mouth?

Rule snipped since I think we all have the gist by now...

Mickey's soap name: Anthony Chester. (while workable, I don't like the
two-first-names thing - it just screams "fake!")

Mickey's porn name: Keno Chiaraluce. (ugh! Keno definately works, but
I'd have to find someone else's mother, I think)

Dahling? Precious? Would you kindly reveal how old you were when you
named something "Tartuffe"? Also, did you pronounce it Tar-too-fay? Or
Tar-toof?

In other words, typ-casting.

But seriously, Princess, have ever read Terrence McNally 's "Noon." It's
a one-act comedy about people brought together because they answered the
same personals ad. There's a dominatrix in the play whom you could play
perfectly. Her exit line is something like, "Frederic, pack up the
tools. And don't mix the tongs with the branding irons!"

Well, *you* know, sweetwater, if you are going to steal, steal from the
best! BTW, dahling, with the exception of "La Boheme", I've sung all his
work, he and Verdi are my two favourites, followed closely by Mozart and
Wagner. As to yet another age crack, you horrid little pus-boy, (and how
dear you are to have taught me how to spell it, or was that some other

years, (barely), and so that is my official age. Anything more and I

Well, this is *no* fun. Let's play something else!

You know, my Christian name is Kelly Jay. Last year I found out that
there is a porn actress who goes by the name Kelly Jaye. I found that
quite amusing. Apparantly, she is not as famous as, say, Seka nor as
prolific as Nina Hartley; but she's there nevertheless.

Just don't look up unless you want a monkey-poo facial. In any event,
Your Serenity, I had always thought that being a dominatrix was more a
matter of mind-set than of accoutrements. I feel quite certain that there
are dominatrices out there who are also "pink, pastel, soft and cushie,
lace, chiffon and silk" and who, nevertheless, completely dominate all the
men (or women) around them.

Good grief, this has just stirred up a long-ago memory... One of my
best friends at school had a long-time boyfriend named Peter Dick. It
must have been a more innocent age <raising eyebrow slightly> as we
didn't torment her over her boyfriend's name.

Poor-but-honest - I like to think so;

Artist - how clever of you, David! I trained as an illustrator (yes a
LONG time ago) and plan to make more use of these skills in future;

Starving - Errrr... <regards sturdy peasant build>

I know little of these "credit cards" of which Kelroy speaks. Here in
Scotland, of course, those men who wear kilts keep their bawbees
tucked safely in their sporrans, while the rest of us keep ours,
guarded by fierce mutant moths, in battered wallets clenched firmly
in our fists at all times...

It's amazing how real some of these "Soap Opera Names" and "Porn Star
Names" are. I can just *see* Dianne Dove Lane in a soap opera - with
her dark blonde hair beautifully coiffed and her exquisite silk

I use public transport now, and in the days when I did own cars,
didn't give them names. However, the last car that I owned (and
*that* wasnae yesterday) was an Alfa Romeo , so:

Alfa Burns, or

Romeo Burns

...giving me a useful choice of gender for these alter egos.

Actually, it would be a great pairing. Since Sugar Underwood is
tecnically not me, she would enjoy the services Buck Burton would be
offering her. Maybe this would somehow *satisfy* Philips constant urge
to *show* me his latest erection.

If by that you mean that people not only cross the street to avoid you,
but have now taken to running in the opposite direction, well, then, yes,
dahling, we do, and I am rather glad of it. While a man might prefer a
hand he has far more hope of seeing the sum rise in the west, than getting
one of mine. I have jewelry and a manicure to consider, after all.

You're right, Anne!
He'd never admit it, but we've shared many a frozen yogurt (with M&Ms and
marshmallow stuff on top)!
We're so popular at the GAP that everyone yells, "Dave!" when they see him
come in!
The girls at the Frederick's store always show David the latest in Men's
underthings when we arrive.
All the men at the Big 'n Tall Shoppe have crushes on David and he's such a
tease, just a shameless flirt!
Even the guy at the piano & organ store plays "Havah Nagila (sp?)" when he
sees our Davey-Poo!

So don't let David fool you, he's the biggest mall-rat there ever was, and
he's lovin' every minute of it!

Hmmm...there's something not quite right about the name Dick Vanier. It
doesn't really work all that well. Now, "Rick Vanier" is a *lot* better.
Can't you see Rick Vanier as a combination P.I./beach bum? Or possibly
some kind of clever, witty, smirky spy?

I think we were aware of those particular nicknames back in my

This also blew over while I was Way Out East, but just to update the

be (how's this for "different"?) Butterball Snyder.

While I was researching early films for my film history class this
quarter, I came across a video that included some early risque films of
30-45 seconds. One of them was called "Airy Fairy Lillian Tries on a New
Corset" and featured just about the fattest woman I'd ever seen in her
underwear. Butterball Snyder would be perfect for the technicolor,
wide-screen remake.
