thompson tribute

Hunter S. Thompson has a lot of meaning to me and he comes up in my blog now and again; when he died it was a sad shock to all of us at SRL, and I remember going down to the old SRL shop where Thompson had spent some time (20 years ago, way before me), and we watched some SRL-Thompson video. Mark told funny stories about how Thompson couldn’t really be left alone with the flame thrower, and in the videos I saw that his “mobile pharmacy” (a briefcase) had been installed on the desk across from the couch I regularly slept on during shows (the couch wasn’t there back then, but still). Right now, dear friend Phil Bronstein has a great post on his blog about remembering his *crazy* times hanging out with Thompson and being his editor. If you’re a Thompson fan like me, don’t miss Phil’s post.

Totally on board with the three day shadow. I am not sure if a hint of chest hair would be pushing it. Also the “sunny” tone to the lighting kinda works against the theme no?

P.S. Exactly the right amount of cleavage.

Hey Ms. Blue! I may be the 1,243rd person to point out the boo boo in your title, or I might be the first. Either way, please feel free to delete this post after reading it ’cause nothing is more boring than comments about blog typos…

Great Thompsonesque pic. The only thing you’re missing is the three day growth of beard.
