Slash mentions DLR in his book

[SNIPER]

So far, all except episode 4. I'm Glen Gunderson's mom. If I remember, I'm in every episode except 3. (There's 10)

...and to answer the other question, 2 pairs of panties plus my bathing suit bottoms. Oh, and a prop pair around my ankle.

I just watched a couple episodes. Had no idea you are a star! Nice, Angel!

[Angel]

Star in the sense I get lead or starring roles, yes. Star in the famous, lots of $ sense...no.

Hmmm...now that I think of it, except for the lack of $...it's the best kind of star there is, lol.

Had a lead role in a crime re-enactment series last month. Shit pay, but they gave me the star treatment. "Today I am a star and broke" went through my head numerous times.

Yeah I was still in college when the whole AIDS scare happened. I had professors say it was going to bankrupt the insurance companies and then whole nations. All that hype has faded. I know AIDS has taken it's biggest toll in places like Africa but I no longer know of anyone who has it. The only person I know who has died from it got it from a blood transfusion.

The fear used to be big, back from the mid-80s to the mid-90s mostly, and it's been steadily fading ever since, BUT...

Contemporary studies have recently shown that people, not only the young, have got less and less careful with sex protection.
Fewer and fewer people use condoms, even "certified" adults tend to not use any.
Hence statistics show that AIDS cases have started to increase again in western countries.

In my town for instance, where there are four high schools, teenagers have parties during which they practice binge drinking
and fuck with often different partners without condoms. They aren't even aware of the risks they run, not even of AIDS itself
in fact. Health authorities have failed keeping the next generation informed about AIDS, as it seems, and it is a huge failure...

Today's kids live the booze-and-drugs-and-sex thing that those who were teens in the 70s could live, but with high risks.
A little latex in their fiestas should be a compulsory ingredient. Parents surely failed in teaching them the healthy rules that have
been ours since the mid 80s, because they've been through those times when anti-AIDS campaigns were permanent, they should
have compensated the lack of warning from authorities.

It's too bad, after the disease stepped back, that careless (guilty or not) people have been opening the door for it to spread again.

You'll still run into the occasional Hollywood girl who will say "You don't need to use anything with me", and you think to yourself "You're a girl I just picked up in HOLLYWOOD, you're damn skippy I'm using something with you!"

One girl insisted I didn't need to because she got Depro shots....which yeah, would prohibt her from getting preggers, but that's IT...

[ashstralia]

huge rise in chlamydia here in the last decade or two... mostly teens and early twenties kids.

The damn skippy Hollywood bird... :D

Aussie girls must be the skippiest by the way!

At least we can joke about that, because we know there are precautions to take and know how too.
My students would bang your skippy Hollywood chick if they could, without wrapping up their stuff...

Ouch... Other diseases tend to gain ground as well...

BTW, considering it's so fucking easy for rock stars to bang around, it's (positively) surprising that not that many of them caught AIDS
in the last 2 decades.

I also thought about that. You are totally right. I just checked out a list of HIV positive musicians and the only rock stars are Freddie Mercury and some guy from Ratt. Luckily for us gals it seemes it doesn't stick to us as bad, no amout worth mentioning of women is on the list. We are like HIV teflon. Sorta...

They're really pushing safe sex around here, but we're the STD capital of the nation.

My son was born in 83. I remember when he was 7 hearing him say something about condoms. I asked him if he knew what a condom was. His response: "it's what a man puts on his penis when he has sex so he won't get aids".

Once he became sexually active, he never thought twice about not using a condom. Hell, I remember when he was about 14 and going to a party I reminded him that if he was active, to just tell me to pick some up. He grinned and showed me the three he kept in his wallet.

Parents need to wise up, accept their kids are going to have sex, and ensure they know how to do so in a safe manner, imo.

Yeah, ponder this for a moment.

Robbin Crosby from Ratt died of AIDS. He used to room with Nikki Sixx, they got high together frequently, Nikki discloses this in The Heroin Diaries. Robbin used to date Tawny Kitaen, who was on the cover of the self titled Ratt EP and Out of the Cellar. She, of course later married David Coverdale. Nikki dated and lived with Lita Ford in the early '80's, who was in the mid '80's engaged to Toni Iommi.

Does that begin to illustrate what could have easily happened to the whole heavy rock scene?

And that only touches the tip of the iceberg as to how - for lack of a better term - incestuous the LA rock scene was/ is - remember all of the dudes you mentioned were also doing random Hollywood girls, and groupies on tour - it wasn't uncommon back in the day to date a girl who'd been a rock star's distraction of the week previously...if there HAD have been a true epidemic, this town would have been decimated.

I was always paranoid of catching herpes or the clap or something, before there WAS an AIDS epidemic, so fortunately I was pretty serious about being captain careful...and any girl that's going to be more than a temp goes to my doc with me for bloodwork these days.

Ya. That sounds like an episode of the "Porn Diaries"

[Va Beach VH Fan]

That's why I got my oat sowing out of the way overseas and pre-AIDS.....

I think I used a condom one time in 10 years overseas, stopped running the streets in '87, never caught the clap, herpes, and HIV negative to this day....

Pfft...and you call yourself a rockstar?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Looking back, just good luck....

I had good friends of mine after we left a port, like clockwork, would be careful as hell, but inevitably would be in the "clap line"....

Maybe I just went after the "good girls".....
