TLA Picks A Winner
Posted by Boy Wonder
Our beloved RitaPHL wrote in today to announce that her TLA Video catalog had arrived and Johnny was smeared all across the cover - much to her obvious delight. Without her devotion and effort it might have been months before Johnny or I became aware of the honor. How about that dark, scruffy grimace, huh? Rita added that Johnny would be selling a lot of calendars for TLA this season.
By the way, Link: The Evolution is now available in the Johnny Hazzard Shop. The official launch party will be at the Faultline (our favorite) on September 22nd, Johnny’s first full day as a thirty-year-old man.
Thank you, Rita, for the info and especially the hi-res scan. You’re practically doing my job for me!
I was in TLA Video today scrounging backup copies, (you know, one to scan, one to look through, one to preserve in plastic). I have no shame! I even made myself a new wallpaper.
Ooooh, it’s a hottt picture too!! YAY Rita for pointing that out! Would you want to share that wallpaper maybe, please?
I saw that photo on Greg Thompson’s site and about died. Probably one of my favorite pictures of Johnny ever.
You betcha gcracker!
Thanks Vivien … the one on Greg’s site looks so much better than the catalog cover which is so dark.
Its really hard to relate that image of Johnny to the boy I knew. So dark and BDSM! So far removed indeed from the preppy little boy I met way back when. And the tie-dyed angel of our teen years. Now, granted, I am well aware that the Johnny I knew was not the whole person…my memories are very fond. Here is a little image for all of you: Johnny dressed in his tie dye, skirt swishing around his legs as he strode through the snow covering the yards crossing from his large back yard into the small orchard in mine, where we would meet. For a moment that one yule, I would have sworn he was an angel. The way the light and snow played on him as he approached the spot where I had all the trappings of wicca set up. I forgot the cold on my bare legs and feet….so in aww of the man whom looked so at peace, so one with nature!
That will always be the Johnny I picture…an angel in tie dye.
