Well I’m back from my vacation and the news of the world has got me down.
I’ve been frantically trying to catch up on my work duties since I got back but today I found myself shirking my duties to take a wee little more personal time. I’m still in my PJ’s and its almost time to get dinner on. I knew better than to surf for news items today. SO! Looking for some nourishment of the silly kind. I allowed myself to wrap myself up in my favorite blanky, drink lots of belly hugging hot liquids, and play. I have finished three new necklaces after a short dry spell yaaayyy! I’m working on a fourth: feather of raven, crystals of Swarovski, organza of the silk kind and velvet. Gawgeous dahling!
This evening I powered up Lola for a little web time and discovered Synchronicity working her bizarre majic in my life once again.
Not only is This bitch back So is Nad! And just in time. Who’s Nad? She’s the colorful host of… (and by colorful I mean Pink to the eye, Blue to the ear) Bitchin’ Kitchen, only the best cooking show on the planet! She offers simple advice, or ‘Nadvice’ the kind of cooking tips your mother might have taught you if her mother had any idea of how to work a stove top.
Today’s webisode was uploaded 6 days ago. (As I’ve said I’ve been off line a while.) She discusses the joy of knives. But, it’s not just advice this moxynoxious vixen whips up, she’s got terrific recipes such as Rehab Ravioli, Splitsville Salad, Anxiety Chicken Noodle (a personal favorite of mine). Word to the squeamish, if you have a soft spot for poultry this may be too much for you to see.
Oh how I’d love to see her Face off with Hell’s Kitchen’s Chef Ramsey.
Anyhoo, went over to tweet my excitement over Bitchin Kitchen’s return and discovered Nad is on Twitter. She’s also launched Bitchinlifestyle.tv So now I’m following her and you can too! On second thought, how scary for Nad. Oh Well she’s got the Minghia’s to deal with it.
Minghia? A new Word of the day to add to my multilingual list of ahem, “bits”.
Whoopie and Laura Engles coming out in support of Roman Polanski took the whoosh outta me. Patrick Swayze’s gone, Phillip Garrido wrote a letter to the media claiming J.C. (sic) is having her ‘civil rights’ violated by the system, yet another Roman Catholic Bishop has been arrested for having child porn (on his laptop no less) and yet another woman has vanished from a Canadian town.
Egad! I’m going back to bed.
Swiss police arrest Polanski

- Director Roman Polanski was arrested by Swiss police for possible extradition to the United States for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl, authorities said Sunday.
- Polanski fled the U.S. in 1978, a year after pleading guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with the underage girl.
- Polanski has faced a U.S. arrest request since 1978 and has lived for the past three decades in France, where his career has continued to flourish. He received a directing Oscar in absentia for the 2002 movie “The Pianist.” He was not extradited from France because his crime reportedly was not covered under the U.S.’s treaties with the country.

Director taken into custody after flying in to accept award at Zurich Film Festival, faces extradition to United States for having sex with underage girl more than 30 years ago
She’s Just 14, was a song written in 1976 by John Phillips for his daughter Mackenzie Phillips. It featured on the lately released album “Pussycat”. The album was recorded in 1976 with Rock God’s Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. It was supposed to be John’s “Coming Out” album, celebrating his new solo career after the demise of the beloved hippie band, “The Mama’s and Papa’s.”
You may notice the 15th line is now the title for Mackenzie Phillips new, shocking, tell all book about her life with Papa John.
Rock aficionado’s have been debating for decades over the reasons why this highly anticipated album was never properly brought to light. Keith and his devoted occultist wife were arrested in Toronto on drug charges, possession of Heroin with the purpose to traffic. Mick, the ever vigilant venture capitalist was perplexed over the album’s lack of progress with only 6 tracks actually laid. And of course there was the unfortunate bedside suicide of Keith’s witchy spouse’s teen lover. Despite rumors of a deadly game of post coital Russian roulette, Anita Pallenberg was acquitted of culpability when zero proof could be found to place her in the bedroom at the time of her young lover’s death. Unfortunately the teen son of Kieth and Anita was at home during the incident. Of course John Phillips own descent into his madness and drugs played a key role in Pussycat’s inability in coming to light during his lifetime.
I can’t help but wonder whether the auto biographical content of John’s album “Pussycat” was the real deal breaker here. It’s an obvious thought what with such a song called She’s Only 14, written about his own kid. The album from which this delightful ditty came is called Pussycat, featuring a song of the same name that goes a little something like this…
My pussy cats closed up nice and tight
They closed my porno shop last night
Guess I’ll stroll down to my topless
Have a little lunch watch the kids undress, I know them all, I know their names.
Mackenzie Phillip’s recent revelations about the nature of the relationship between herself and her drug addled “tortured” dad has been the catalyst of an intense and serious debate about incest in the public sphere. I for one am filled with shock and awe over Mack’s bombshell accounts of her first memory of being raped by her father. “Rape?” He replied when she brought it up later on, “Do you mean that time we made love?”
Excuse me while I yack. And please excuse Mackenzie for slipping into a life long black out in a bid to find relief. Hell if she can forgive her father, can we not forgive her?
Mackenzie only became aware of her father’s sexual abuse of her at the age of 18, Mackenzie writes, “I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too. Eventually I passed out on Dad’s bed. My father was not a man with boundaries. He was full of love, and he was sick with drugs. I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father. Had this happened before? I didn’t know. All I can say is it was the first time I was aware of it. For a moment I was in my body, in that horrible truth, and then I slid back into a blackout.”
Seeing as Mackenzie had been taught to roll a joint at ten, began smoking pot around that time, was snorting coke by twelve and eventually graduated to heroine with the aid of her father, teaching her how to tie off, where to poke the needles etc, it’s very conceivable this poor woman had been abused during drug induced euphoria’s many many times before. Hell, the lyrics of she’s only 14 support that theory. Further more, with my apologies to Mackenzie this love ballad from Pops describes something even more insidious than having sexual relations with one’s father. Yeah you read that right even more insidious! Being pimped out by ones parent.
She “did it” in a limousine car
She dated pop stars
But she is always too nice to the driver
She says James have you had your supper
And she’s always too high on arrival
The most powerful words I ever heard fly past the lips of Mackenzie Phillips. “Your father is supposed to protect you not F you!” Having been spoken on the set of the incomparable Oprah Winfrey, the statement bold as it was aired minus the satisfying guttural click at the end of this five lettered amuse bouche.
Lets not forget Micks now infamous words during his seduction of Mack after she turned 18, and therefore “legal”, “I’ve wanted to do this since you were ten.”
One thing is certain, whether or not the public will accept Mackenzie’s truth or not, whether we will forgive her for airing her famous families dirty secrets in public or not, whether we will forgive her for undoing our nostalgic love affair with the music of the Mama’s and The Papa’s, whether we will forgive her for doing the unthinkable … forgiving her abuser, or not… Mackenzie has found the fount of healing, and that is the fount of forgiveness. Kudo’s Mackenzie! You’ve now become one of my personal hero’s.
Oh as an aside, thanks to Limewire I can tell you She’s Only 14, was re-released only ONE DAY after Mackenzie’s appearance on Oprah. Read the press released as written and delivered by the publicist of John Phillip’s portfolio Here.
She’s Just 14 Lyrics
She’s just 14 – little movie star queen
There isn’t much she hasn’t seen
She “did it” in a limousine car
She dated pop stars
Hey Rainbow Hair, say that’s no where
But she always says
I’m just a sexy trash can
But she’s just a little girl, who thinks like a man
And sometimes her Daddy’s spoiled her
Sometimes he treated her rough
Sometimes she’s gentle
Sometimes she’s tough
But she is always too nice to the driver
She says James have you had your supper
And she’s always too high on arrival
And she runs on her high platform heels
And she falls flat on her face and she knows how life feels
She got the moves, yeah she got looks
She got the style, she’s read all the books
And nobody got her on her hooks
She’s on a real smooth trip, yes a real smooth trip
She’s always too nice to the driver
She says James have you had your supper
And she’s always too high on arrival
And she runs on her high platform heels
And she falls flat on her face and she knows how life feels
I see her sipping her Thunderbird wine (Lola Thunder(bird) is shocked by this line in particular. My poor widdow bird!)
Wonderin’ if she’s the last word in space and time
And she knows she is, She’s so pleased to discover
She’s so hip. She’s on a smooth trip.
Well she’s always too nice to the driver
She says James have you had your supper
And she’s always too high on arrival
And she runs on her high platform heels
And she falls flat on her face and she knows how life feels.
PS: I was curious about the line Thunderbird Wine and looked into it.
http://www.bumwine.com/tbird.html
from Bum Wine dot com
17.5% alc. by vol. On Average wine generally has an alcohol content of 9%–16%
The history of Thunderbird is as interesting as the drunken effects the one experiences from the wine. When Prohibition ended, Ernest Gallo and his brothers Julio and Joe wanted to corner the young wine market. Earnest wanted the company to become “the Campbell Soup company of the wine industry” so he started selling Thunderbird in the ghettos around the country. Their radio adds featured a song that sang, “What’s the word? / Thunderbird / How’s it sold? / Good and cold / What’s the jive? / Bird’s alive / What’s the price? / Thirty twice.” It is said that Ernest once drove through a tough, inner city neighborhood and pulled over when he saw a bum. When Gallo rolled down his window and called out, “What’s the word?” the immediate answer from the bum was, “Thunderbird.”
Can’t wait to see this movie. From Katherine Monk:
On its deeply saturated surface, this Vancouver-spun horror movie looks and behaves like any other film in the genre: The central character is a nubile sex object who gets sliced and diced by a group of men eager to experience the occult and satanic torture.
Ahhhh A slasher flick written by a woman, directed by a woman and starring women!
In a world where women’s bodies are slashed and splashed across the silver screen as gory props for some psychotic drooling psychopath, this movie promises to be a refreshing change.
Moral of the story if any? Well I have to wait to see the movie but I’d say at second glance: when men gang bang a women, they are literally raising hell.
I hear the soundtrack is off the hook!
Here’s one of my favorite tracks. Violet By Hole!
The next time you’re sitting around the dinner table debating whether or not Nancy Garrido is a victim of Phillip Garrido, consider this…
The first international report into the scope of human trafficking, published yesterday, found a disproportionate number of female perpetrators, more than in any other crime, selling other women into slavery in countries including Australia.
Remember who it was that hung out the banged up sedan and snatched Jaycee right in front of her step dad’s eyes, a raven haired, hollow eyed woman. Who ‘took care’ of Jaycee when Garrido was imprisoned in the 90’s?
Please read Women, The New Pimps in The Sex Trafficking Trade
Dear readers I’ve been speculating in a few previous posts about connections between the kidnapping of Johnny Gosch, Michaela Garecht and Jaycee Dugard.
I’ve recently received credible information that throws serious doubt on the validity of both these composites.
- Briefly, Johnny Gosch was a 13 year old paper boy who disappeared from Iowa on September 5th 1982.
- Michaela Garecht was abducted on November 19 1988 from Sunshine Market in Hayward California. She was 9 years old at the time of her abduction.
- And Jaycee Dugard was taken from a school bus stop while in the morning of June 10th from South Lake Tahoe California.
- These and other stranger abductions of little girls from the area can be viewed at my maps, HERE.
The second two cases have obvious similarities, which law enforcement is vigorously investigating. Both children were adorable school girls who bear a striking resemblance; Blond hair, big Blue eyes and toothy grin’s. They really could be sisters or cousins. Both were taken from within a 3 hour radius of the Garrido Home. Both children’s abductions were witnessed. A description of the getaway car was obtained in both cases. A composite sketch of a kidnapper was created in both cases. In Michaela’s case, the abductor was a Caucasian male, had long hair and a pockmarked face. Michaela was thrown into the back seat of a boxy, 4 door sedan. It was banged up and a tannish gold color. In Dugard’s case the abduction was accomplished by a team, “possibly a man and a woman”, Tony Probyn Jaycee’s Step father helped create a composite of the woman who did the actual snatching of Jaycee, an image of a raven haired hollow eyed woman, who looks suspiciously like Nancy Garrido. Mr. Probyn’s description of the car is eerily similar to the description given of the car used in Michaela’s abduction. In fact when the Garrido’s home was raided Michaela’s child hood friend and witness to her abduction spied the brown car owned by the Garrido’s and immediately called Michaela’s mother exclaiming the car was the one and the same that whisked Michaela out of their lives.
There is no doubt in my mind that Phillip Garrido was the second person seen by Mr. Probyn during the abduction of Jaycee. There is no doubt in my mind that Nancy Garrido was the woman who actually grabbed Jaycee off the street. There is very little doubt in my mind that the car used in both Michaela and Jaycee’s abduction is the car discovered at the Garrido home.
What bothers me is how the composite of Michaela’s abductor could be a dead ringer for the abductor of Johnny Gosch.
I’ve recently received credible information that throws serious doubt on the validity of both these composites.
The composite used in Johnny’s case was already in existence! As the suspect in Michaela Garecht’s disappearance. What is new news to me is that while the eye witness gave an excellent description of both the suspect and the car, she did not work on the composite alongside the artist. The sketch artist was the wife of an investigating officer. The witness has since stated she did not know the eye color of the suspect and that the coloring is wrong, which is why you will only find the black and white drawing on MissingMichaela.com.
At best, the composite of Michaela’s kidnapper is an attempt at recreating a face using second hand information and therefore fairly useless. At worst, it’s a red herring.
Secondly, Noreen Gosch did not post this composite on her website until July 12, 2008 despite having known of the sketch for many years. She decided to post it last year when some sort of breaking news was going on with the case.I can only speculate as to her reasons for waiting so long to disclose the composite sketch of eye witness accounts to her son’s abduction and speculate I will. Perhaps Ms. Gosch did not want to rely on Paul Bonacci’s testimony. He’s been described by law enforcement as not credible. However Ted Gunderson and others are on record stating Paul has never lied to them, and his information has been valuable despite being afflicted with D.I.D. formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder. The composite was first used during an AMW special on her son’s case. For more on Paul Bonacci and Johnny Gosch please See The Franklin Cover Up.
Johnny’s Story Airs On AMW: “Jimmy Steps Forward”
AMW aired the Johnny Gosch story and with the help of Paul Bonacci several composite sketches were drawn of the principals ( including Tony, the driver- H.M.)
Composite of Johnny Gosch's Kidnapper (Tony)
Composite of Michaela Garecht's Kidnapper
The composite used in Johnny Gosch’s case was created according to AMW by their team while working with convicted child molester Paul Bonacci. However, when contacted by agents acting on behalf of the Michaela Garecht AMW replied that the image they used of Tony was actually a “generic sketch”. I have yet to find any correction by AMW staff on this matter.
I am supremely confident the whole ugly truth about the Garrido’s will come spilling out, with or with out this particular composite sketch. I also fully expect the family of Michaela Garecht and god willing the families of Ilene Misheloff, Amanda Nicole Eileen Campbell, and of course Johnny Gosch will also be able to reunite and be whole once more.
However I am disappointed that these sketches were created and used in the way they were. There is a lot of discussion as to why Phillip Garrido never ever crossed investigators radar in Jaycee’s abduction or Michaela’s until now. If they had been looking for a dark haired perp with bad skin rather than a blond youth with acne would things have been different?
Finder’s a term coined to describe an organized group of people who “find” children for the purpose of abduction for human trafficking.
Rachel brought up an interesting question:
the sketches of the perps in both cases (Michaela Garecht and Jaycee Dugard) are strikingly similar as are the descriptions of the complexion …
could the same person be responsible for abductions in both a girl in California, and a boy in Iowa six years apart ? it certainly wouldn’t be impossible.
Lets Take a Look.
- The first picture is Garrido’s Mug shot after his arrest on November 23, 1976 on kidnapping and rape charges.
- The second is an undated photo from CBS
- The third is a mash up as posted over at Websleuth’s which has a riveting discussion going on at the moment.
- The fourth is a sketch of the suspect in Johnny Gosch’s kidnapping as he appeared in 1982,
- The fifth is a sketch of the same suspect as he appeared in 1992.
Personally, I don’t think it’s the same guy. Garrido’s eyes slant downwards, Tony’s upwards. The bone structure is all wrong, the coloring is wrong and most importantly Garrido never had any facial scarring or acne in any of his appearances in the 70’s or 80’s. The tumor on his nose is a later in life addition to his sorry face. While Tony (His name IS Tony) has a type of facial scarring and acne that was recorded by witnesses before and after the time line that Jaycee Dugard was abducted. If Garrido and Tony were the same person, where’s Garrido’s scarring in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s?
However, I suspect that Phillip and Tony may have collaborated. The cars are too similar, we may even learn in the near future that they are indeed the same car, forensics willing. The method’s of abduction too similar, even the features of Jaycee and Michaela are similar. Rachel ponders if it’s possible that one person could be responsible for cross country abductions of two different types of children. I certainly think it is possible. Especially if what Johnny Gosch and others have been telling us for the last 20 some years – there ARE organized child snatching groups trolling our neighborhoods to feed a subculture of death and sex.
Could Garrido be one such snatcher? I’d put money on it.
What do you think?
UPDATE September 19. 2009
I have been fortunate enough to have found a few answers to these questions, including that Garrido does have a skin condition which flares up from time to time. After further digging, I have reason to seriously discount the validity of both composites. In short, I can not with any degree of surety connect Johnny Gosch’s abduction to Michaela or Jaycee’s.

Lola brought Sex Is Not The Enemy to my attention this morning.
No evolution
Sometimes it depresses me
The same old same
We keep repeating history
The institution curses curiosity
It’s our conviction
Sex is not the enemy
Shirley Manson is the red hot chanteuse fronting the band Garbage and I love the message. A little shot in the arm to pick me up after spending a little too much time in pursuit of knowledge. Does she look familiar to you?

Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir According to Kathy Griffin
This is definitely a book for which I will plop some cash down. Kathy’s had a fabulous career so far, I admire her a great deal. Kathy “D-list celebrity”, is proving her point about Hollywood and celebrities. They do the same things the little people do. And what chutzpah to put her money where her mouth is by disclosing the very private fact, her brother was a pedophile. I am standing up and applauding her for this!
Other highlights I can’t wait to sink my fangs into:
Kathy Griffin and (OMG) Quentin Tarrantino? Jack Black? This woman ROCKS!
Plus, the title is freeking hilarious! Having been snubbed for some unknown reason by Lady Oprah all these years.
Tip of my hat to movieline.com Jack Blacks Shifty Eyes and of course Kathygriffin.net!
