Lahoma van Zandt Has Nerve!

I genuinely expressed my belief this morning (to the group of New York misfits I used to associate with) that I had been grievously hurt by the theft of an artistic idea: the image of my retarded and distraughtly fashionable daughter, Sweetie. The notion of legal action was pondered when the Legendary Lahoma van Zandt took to the floor and wrote this:

"Alexis, you live in Gay Cocktail Fantasy Lalaland. You are far outside of any legal jurisdiction to sue anybody."

This coming from someone who put Popov vodka on the map and now thinks Carrie Nation should be sainted.

It is the best of example of a dangerous trend I have been warning of for years on my high school lecture circuit: Sober Rage. Just because some of us enjoy A Cool Refreshing Beverage I don't think our rights to redress in the court of law should be revoked ,and I am saddened that an old star should lash out like this. (I mean, really; is her postcard collection in so much order that she shouldn't be keeping her attention there?)

I've mailed her a jar of jelly beans to soothe her nerves; in the meantime there are the photo archives.
