Dear Todd Haynes: I thought that I really covered most of your influences for VG. I've read the requisite Wilde and Genet, obviously, I'm very familiar with the entire glam pantheon (both major and obscure), I know that you allude to Douglas Sirk, Clockwork Orange, Citizen Kane, Fassbinder, Jarman, your short student films, Mary Poppins, etc. I can tell you which documentaries you based the various shots on, and so on. Today I realized that in addition to Divine, you based Jack Fairy on William Hurt's Molina in Kiss of the Spider Woman. Do I get a prize?

Velvet Goldmine could almost be like a game of 10 degrees of seperation with the entire multiverse.

I can't make any claims to that at all, I like that movie, and 70s glam rock -- but I should watch that movie high sometime. I bet I could find all sort of metaphors from mythology and shit watching it stoned. I do that sober but it's alot more fun when stoned.

Wanna watch it together and do crazy makeup when you come back? We can make reardentsteel watch it too, haha.

Remember that time I did your makeup when I was really drunk?
