i'm intrigued . . .

Although I've been meaning to, I've never gotten around to watching Rescue Me. I hear it's fabulous. Just haven't gotten around to it.

. . .what's up with the allusion to Mapplethorpe's self-portrait work?


Perhaps I am the last person to notice this likening. I've been away from the blogs as of late.
