PETER WHO???

Well, I don't mean Peter Cottontail.

Be forewarned. This post might be offensive to some people. It's never my intention to purposely offend. Not much, anyway.....

When I was young, vain, and irretrievably misguided, I wanted to look like Peter Berlin.
Of course, I never came close.

 Young and misguided


If you don't know who Peter Berlin is, it's a strong indication that you're  innocent, moral, and have never haunted San Francisco or Hollywood in the 1970's and 80's.

And you've never seen the porn movie Nights in Black Leather. Or That Boy.

 

 Berlin in his heyday
(I slightly cropped the lower half of the photo so as not to upset the uninitiated)

Peter Berlin was a photographer, artist, clothing designer, model. Among other things......
His real name is Armin Hagen Freiherr von Hoyningen-Huene.
Which was a plausible reason for changing it to Peter Berlin.

Berlin is now about 76 years old and still looks fairly hot. 

I am now slightly older than when I was 20 - - and have completely abandoned the idea of trying to look like Peter Berlin. 

In my Texas garden when I was in my late 40's and fading quickly
And now.....
  .....I conveniently can't remember my age. And I sometimes forget my name.
But I sure as hell know I'm not Peter Berlin.

So why did I write this post?
I simply wanted to do something different than forests and cats.
I might have succeeded.

Some people said they are having trouble posting comments on my blog. Sorry about that. It seems to be a Blogger glitch.
