Surprise - Something Different

Back in the early seventies, a small group of enterprising young ladies - some of America's finest - set about preserving for all time the prime examples of cock-rock. Immortalised in plaster, the members of many famous rock bands, pun intended, were cast for all the world to see, and in all their extended glory. But sadly, much of the evidence of these tools of the trade was to lie invisibly locked away for years, eventually being restored to the rightful owner, one Cynthia P. Caster, after legal action.

Our Cynth has now made available at her foundation website, a limited edition of some of these casts, including the super-whang of Mr. Jimi H. Not so much an object of mirth but more of girth, Jimi's gift to the angels of the universe is available now to all connoisseurs - the majority of the income going to a registered charity cause promoted by Cynthia for the welfare of struggling musicians and artis

ts. Soon to be in line for such spreading of wealth in my own humble direction, I heartily recommend your support of this fine enterprise.

Cynthia has also a fine collection of prints of pop and rock heroes from originals drawn by her own fair hand.

Check out Cynthia's foundation website now at www.cynthiapcaster.org to view and buy casts or the excellent main site at www.cynthiaplastercaster.com for the whole gruesome story. (A punner's delight, this plaster-casting stuff.)

And, in case you were wondering: I was not one of the hearty heroes set in the white goo. And it's definitely too late now. I fear Cynth may, perforce, rely these days on cheap and plentiful Viagra with which to entice old rock warriors from their country estates and five star suites. Happily, my flute requires no such crude and chemical encouragement and, stiff as a rod, may be safely and satisfyingly plunged into warm plaster thus creating a phallic image of an altogether more modest and acceptable sort. Must remember to clean it afterwards........

A message from Cynthia Plastercaster

Gee, Ian, THANKS SO MUCH for the offer of a link on your website! That would be SO cool and helpful to my cause. I'd like to return the favor, if I may, when my computer geek buddy gets around to updating my website.

I was an art major at the University of Illinois--that is, until my mother found out about my groupie dream of casting thousands, via reading my diaries in secret. Then it was time to hit the road ASAP! I loved art school, but otherwise, can't say I've ever looked back...

Sorry to hear about your cold, doll. Colds certainly are a drag, but I love the tail end part when my nose gets all runny and my voice actually sounds sexy. Then it's time to record a new answering machine message!

Happiness is a Warm Flute!

Ciao doll,
Cynthia
