I Think CRYSTAL STORM* will be on Jenny Jones, Thursday July 5, (in most places).

Probably a rerun but I don't know for sure.

FAKE TITS RULE!!! (sorry to you naturalists but sometimes I just have to let it out)

:-)

Joi

Hi to my special pals :-)
and to my Man of course.

*formerly overweight rather small busted Ecdysiast, for anyone who may not know of her.=)

[**DONOTDELETE**]

OK Joi.  My dictionary is 35 years old and until I can get a more up to date one - could you define Ecdysiast. BTW, greetings from the rolling green hills of Southern Indiana.

[dev]

If your dictionary is 35 years old it should be better than most recent ones

Happy Saturday!!

If memory serves, the word was coined by H. L. Mencken.

Why do you guys use paper dictionaries at all?  Just add a link in your browser to one of the online dictionaries.  My fave is

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Joey Carson told "Geraldo" that when she appeared on his show once. He acted like he knew what it meant, but I doubt it.

She was a sweet person.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Thanks Joi!  Maybe I sHould have mentioned that I thought it meant stripper or striptease, and you could have been spared that Herculean effort. Is it any wonder that you are loved and reverred around here?

Cynic: Thanks for the link! you may have saved me $50 or so.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

What was the name of the stripper who asked H. L. Mencken to create that word?  Was it Gypsy Rose Lee?

[zappfra]

anyone know of any updated crystal storm pic's. Her site seems pretty silent and you just don't hear much of her these days.

[Davastav]

I used to be and I'm still a big fan of Crystal Storm also. She was one of the pioneering superbusts of the early 1990's thats still around actually. She used to hold the title as the biggest feature touring but she seems to have lost that title to the likes of Chelsea Charms and Maxi Mounds with their string implants. There hasnt been anything new posted to her website in quite awhile. And I was always surprised to see her offered at Photoclubs - I assumed that the pics of her are ones that have been recirculated for years already. Maybe she has retired..      

[HarmonyBliss]

I don't think she's retired but she does seem to be more low-profile than many others. She was at the 2001 Expo/Fan Fair in Las Vegas. I met her while out there and she was a really nice and pleasant girl. I met her at the registration desk and chatted with her a bit. Very cool person. While she may have lost her 'title' to the string boobs of Maxi and Chelsea, she's still got a great look. Very top-heavy. And a very down-to-earth personality. Don't know if she still does the feature dance circuit anymore, though.

[Elliot James]

Crystal still stays very busy on the club circuit. She doesn't shoot much except for her own greeting card business. She hasn't shot with us since '98. Last winter, she dropped by for a tour of the new SCORE building.

[ac man]

i saw on photoclubs, that they are saying bigger things
are in store for crystal storm, does anyone know about
this? have not heard anything new from her in a long time.
