Ah, the Power of a Dress & High Heels!

Look what I just found in my current Journal, La Vida:

J Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI in the 50’s was a debauched gay man living deep in the closet. He was not a upstanding, clean gay man sitting hand & hand w/his male lover in church/synagogue, but a sewer rat degenerated homosexual having multiple sex couplings w/handsome youths in bed all at the same time; drunk, maybe high on drugs, in a lifestyle that was not a brief slipup, but a lifestyle. He was closeted—as those times demanded. When the Italian mafia procured a pix of him in a dress & high heels, they knew that had a cap on billion dollar profit—they blackmailed the FBI director into silence, so they could continue their operations in the US and Cuba with impunity. It is no wonder then looking back that the mafia could not be stopped in its flourishing crime empire, while J Edgar prosecuted beatniks and low-level marijuana smokers to the hilt. The mafia had Cuba in their sights as a pleasure palace for affluent America—loaded w/gambling & prostitution, and some drugs, (although the syndicate was not in the drug business in any great amount in those days—scorning it as something bestial that only ‘Negroes’ did). The mafia was set to built resorts on Cuban soil and degrade its local population to work on the cheap as croupiers, card dealers, prostitutes, naked show people, etc. The syndicate did not count on a revolution. It did not count on comrade Fidel Castro relentlessly fighting back the forces of his own people’s puppet police army in the pay of the United States Of America—it did not count on the Cuban people siding with Castro, and upon his victory—driving Americans off of Cuban soil and the mafia with their suitcases full of casino & brothel blueprints sent packing.

Ah, the power of a dress & high heels!

AUTUMN CHANGES —The Immaculate Transgender Red’s Semi-Autobiography AUTUMN CHANGES Part #4 is now on ebook!

AUTUMN CHANGES —The Immaculate Transgender

Red’s Semi-Autobiography AUTUMN CHANGES Part #4 is now on ebook!

AUTUMN CHANGES —My Unofficial Semi-Autobiography progresses.  As you may know this long, 1,400 page work is published in 5 volumes.  (Part 5 is a short Epilogue.)  AUTUMN CHANGES #1 has been up on ebook for some time & has sold in hardcopy for several years.  Well Dear Readers AUTUMN CHANGES #4 is now an ebook.  So you can read parts #1 and #4 on ebook Cheap!  Part #4 is some of the finest writing I have done. 

Unlike my novels for instance the lengthy plot-driven STAGE DOOR divided into 4 parts, best read sequentially, this semi-autobiographical AUTUMN CHANGES naturally meanders back and forth between the past, and present days—so it does not have to be read in order to be appreciated.  Parts #2, #3, and the Epilogue can be purchased in hardback on Amazon, or thru Redjordanarobateau.com.

Here are some quotes:

AC-4 is some of my best writing.  I’ve hit the bar w/this!  My highest achievement barre.  Said what I need to, politically, artistically, sexually. 

***

Wasn't that his purpose in life? His Raison de Etré?  ‑‑Was he not one of those important historians and prophets; painters and poets, all documenting each in their own way, the steps a nation takes towards a holocaust?  To sense, feel, anticipate, predict, be sensitive to current affairs‑‑the new growing proportions of fascism in AmeriKKKa circa 2001‑2003, and tho there may be nothing they can do but to warn, to document, and, after it's all done, to recall the hell‑‑they must do that!  Do that!  As if their life’s blood depended on it!

***

Within the body of Professor Turnip, all the sexes‑along the axes from female to male - and everything in between - are fused into one true glowing example of the Immaculate Transgender.  Each trait of man & woman is codified, then expressed by alternate mannerisms of‑the professor.  All compactly stored within blood, bone, cell, hair follicle, attitude, demeanor, and ready to radiate out to the public in total diversity.  This, all condensed into one person! In a stunning array.  So that all who gaze upon him‑her, despite all their degrees, doctorates, thesis’s, literary prizes, dissertations; all their fine cogitations have been dumbfounded!

If ever a biography/autobiography of The Turn-Rup is written, this should be its dedication page or title:  The Immaculate Transgender.
