This is a lament on the price one must pay to gain fame and celebrity and continues with comments on  the brevity of existence.



Traci Lords and Ginger Lynn, two celebrities who paid the price to gain fame.
Traci Lords you seem to be doing Ok now with that indomitable will. At least so it seems to me from afar.

I worry about Ginger Lynn sometimes. Soft in the soul maybe she is. I don't know Ginger personally, having never met but I have admired her earlier work. Ginger is too naive, too trusting that all will work out well. Relying on the kindness of strangers.

Time pulls the rug out from under us. We stand up to Time's ravages and patiently one day at a time, Time , grinds all of us down. Puts us in our place. Our youth and beauty are gone. A few pictures as a reminder of what once was. More in the case of Tracy Lords and less for Ginger Lynn, vanishing everyday mercifully.

New characters are willing to pay the toll to chase fame. So soon they to be vanishing pictures on the internet of eternity.
