Dana is a six-foot, blonde, busty, liberal, lesbian lawyer, just like everyone else in L.A. ***
One morning in 1973, she awoke on a park bench in a strange city, with no shoes. Finding herself in Southern California, she wandered the beaches of Santa Monica surviving on fish entrails and eeking out a meager living selling caricatures of Republican political figures, which she carved from tar balls that washed ashore from the many nearby offshore oil rigs. ***
Ms. Dana got her start in politics when she landed a job as personal dominatrix to G. Gordon Liddy. That served as a springboard to her career in show business, and for the following six years, Ms. Dana could be seen performing eight shows a week in the back room of the Hwy 69 Truck Stop in Petaluma, California. It was there, during one of her midnight binge-and-purge sessions, that she developed her famous theories in socio-political philosophy. ***
Currently, Ms. Dana spends her days jetting around the globe in wild shopping sprees and trying to avoid the many paparazzi who constantly pursue her. A major motion picture about her life is currently in production and scheduled for a Christmas release, starring Angelina Jolie as Dana and Danny DeVito as her longtime illicit lover, Squeaky. *** Commanding annual blog earnings well into eight figures, Ms. Dana has the commercial clout to write her own biographies which appear, unedited, in prestigious publications around the world.
ewwwwwwwww reminds me of an old movie "emanuelle" hey I like your new hairstyle. makes you look a little less scary. but yeeks man, now Im scared even more
It seems like you have taken this step and unfortunately, your only choice is to believe that she is feeling or hearing your sentiments from beyond. I'm sorry for your loss.
I'm with Robin... the ew factor overshadows the really powerful sentiment. But hey, I guess that's the point and I'm just a pussy. But my knees hurt now.
@Patrick Daniels: What does "Alomaird: Commercial Photographer for life" mean? At first I thought you were identifying a photographer, but that's not it. So....???
I think some of you can't get past the photo to the story. Poor choice on my part, I guess.
And yet, what I spent my time struggling to find was not the perfect photo, but with the word that ended up being "murdered." Guess I shoulda spent more time picking a photo. :(
Dana, please, don't apologize for your craft. You got a bit of a negative reaction but at the same time you also got a positive reaction... every comment here references your story too, as I said ahem, "really powerful sentiment." You accomplished something interesting and uh, dare I say 'pointed.' Yea for you. :)
Ah, Another beautiful love story with a sad ending. Girl meets girl. Girl loves girl. Girl loses girl and kills her with a meat cleaver and hangs her in the closet to cure. I think I feel a tear coming on.

Rated painfully.
I also posted this one today: http://open.salon.com/blog/dana_douglas/2009/09/05/all_that_glitters. It has a lower ew factor. ;-)
Great for your rep Dana... rated

Enough depressing stuff going on on OS already.
loved the photo. just scary enough. my first response to seeing it was as I posted above: ow.
the little story made me laugh. love it too but in a different way.
I saw it as two different stories.
I've gotta say, though, the picture will take one's breath away.
forgiven each other before
you were murdered.
That's quite a haiku you have there. Rated for the hooky things.
:)
A photo and twelve words.
Awesome. Inspiring. Devastating. Brilliant.
