The Beginnings – Part 41: GET IT GIRL!
June 16, 1983
Someone on Hollywood Boulevard approached Frank and I about attending a free TV game show called CHILD’S PLAY. We rejected the offer because Frank had his heart set on going to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS.
It was fun at UNIVERSAL STUDIOS. It was quite hot. I took a Photo-Magazine shot of myself on the cover of a PLAYGIRL Magazine. It looks ‘okay’…nothing great.
Frank’s actions have been getting on my nerves a little bit. Whenever I critique something that he says or does I recognize his hesitation to ‘blow up’ to my face; whereby, he chooses to simply give me the silent treatment.
After our tour of UNIVERSAL STUDIOS we tried to find the residence of actress Ann-Margret in Beverly Hills. I had an address of 999 Doheny Drive. It didn’t seem to exist. While I was driving I took notice of another ‘foxy looker’ who happened to drive adjacent to me. She smiled at me in such a sexy way. She turned off at Rodeo Drive and I was sure I’d never see her again. We ended up getting lost in Beverly Hills and never did succeed in finding Ann-Margret’s house. It’s still sort of a mystery because that address seemed non-existent. That was the address I used to write her and she wrote back with a photo to me and wrote: TO MIKE, WARMLY ANN-MARGRET.
We continued our adventure in my car through Santa Monica Boulevard via a very gay area. I didn’t like the atmosphere very much. It made me uncomfortable. We managed to soak it up as we checked out a flower shop. We also went across the street to browse at the INTERNATIONAL MALE retail clothing store. We didn’t bother to buy anything. Frank did purchase a special card for me with the imprint: I’ve got a feeling I’m going to love you for a long, long, time.
He’s a nice guy.
While Frank was trying on sunglasses there was some gay guy who tried to swoop on Frank at the INTERNATIONAL MALE store. He stopped his advances when he realized I was with him.
That evening we went to Hollywood Boulevard to see a motion-picture in 3D called SPACE HUNTER, starring Peter Strauss and Molly Ringwald. The previous night we’d seen some film crew filming a real-life movie that will be titled ANGEL.
There was some old man who gave Frank a big “Why Hello There!” as he checked-out Frank in his white outfit (white jeans and white shirt). We were getting a few whistles from girls from across the street and in cars that drove by. That was funny.
I said, “Those girls are always brave while driving-by in a car…but when they’re standing right in front of you they remain silent.”
There was some ugly black dude who puckered his big lips in my direction as though he wanted to blow me a kiss.
I whispered to Frank, “Yuck”.
Frank and I stopped at a donut shop and then returned back to our hotel.
How could I forget? There were also two very good-looking girls that we noticed who were holding hands. That was surprising.
One of them said, “Hi.”
And I cracked-up when Frank said, “Get IT, girl!”
That’s not my style. I’ll lecture you and tell you you’re wrong. But I can’t stay angry with you or want to punish you.
