I can't wait to see how the billboard ad will look! Cost something like $15,000 to get the spot to advertise for the play, I helped in that, when I saw the posting about contributing to it in my FB feed.
I hope this play catches attention and will continue to be produced after NYC.

I was wondering if any of you have favorite Greek myths, and if you could list them, and perhaps say a little as to why they are your favorite.

Lesser know reference to Greek gods and Apollo from We The Living:
"The tutors, and the servants, and the guests looked at Leo as they looked at the statue of Apollo in the Admiral' s study, with the same reverent hopelessness they felt for the white marble of a distant age." P.121-22.
Kira: "His body was white as marble and as hard and straight; the body of a god""She climbed to the pedestals of statues in the parks to kiss the cold lips of Greek gods

My fourth play, The Untold Story of Iphis and Ianthe, has now been published and is available for purchase. It is a dramatic contemporary telling of the old told Ovidian tale, in the form of a one act play, written in prose. It's based on the Greek myth of Iphis and Ianthe, but told in my own way. Coercive sex-selective abortions, interracial lesbianism, arranged marriages - yeah, it's all in there - and the play, is here:Length: 34 pagesPrice: $1.49It is available in other countries as well, such as Amazon UK, Amazon France, Amazon Germany, Amazon Japan, etc.Those interested in obtaining permission to produce my play, may contact me, and any questions or comments feel free to ask me here.Enjoy your read!

My next play that I have been writing, which is now 90% finished, I have a lesbian couple in it, which this play like my other three, are based on Greek myths, but I of course tell it in my own contemporary way. I have it so that neither one questions their sexuality, it just is. They don't question why they are attracted to the same-sex, just like I don't question why I am heterosexual, as I just am.
I think I do a fair treatment of the two in my play, and its making me want to look back over things that I have said over some in this thread, and others, to see if I can see this from a different perspective than I have been, especially since I have been writing the perspectives of said lesbian couple.

Have any of you taken a survey of all the many references to Greek mythology that is in Rand's fiction?
I have some. I actually think of Anthem and Atlas Shrugged as elaborate recontextualizations of Greek mythology.
For example, from AS:
They said Atlantis was a place where hero-spirits lived in a happiness unknown to the rest of the earth. A place which only the spirits of heroes could enter, and they reached it without dying, because they carried the secret of life within them.I wanted to start a thread on all the various ways in which Rand uses Greek mythology in her fictional works. -

Anyone know an appropriate place on the forum that I can post a thread about it in?

Here are ones of me all but the first one were taken today. I'm nearing the self-publication of my first play, so I'm working on putting up a pic of the face behind the words then too on Amazon.
So I thought I'd share:

This is one of my favorites of his:
This is one I never saw before, but saw it last night on his Facebook page:

That's odd, given your responses above.
Though it wasn't agalmatophilia, he said she kissed them in her quest of Leo. The statues were the closest she could find. So that is still important to my responses.

Here it is:
http://www.peikoff.com/2013/06/17/why-did-kira-in-we-the-living-kiss-statues-in-the-park/
I was able to access it on a different WiFi connection. Excellent answer, I have no problems with it.

I definitely plan on seeing it, since I have yet to be disappointed with Leonardo DiCaprio. Never read the book, have no idea what it's about. Something about rich people and parties from what I gather (Is there some kind of message?). But honestly I could watch Leo plant a garden and it would be a delight.
Have you seen him in Romeo and Juliet? I saw a clip and it was enough for me not to want to see anymore. The 1968 film is like the standard for me, especially in regards to Juliet.
I did like him in Titanic and The Beach.
-
Dr. Peikoff in a podcast answers my question to him about why Kira kisses statues in parks, but I can't seem to be able to view his site well on my Fire HD, I did just fine before. What the fuck? Anyways, if you search 'Kira' you will find it. Please tell me what he has to say on this.
I think it's dated June 17th, 2013 and 41sec long.

I have been taking some pics of me recently, because I want to select a photo for when I publish my plays soon, show the face behind the words. I noticed that Quentin Cordair has a pic up of him for when he published through Amazon, so I thought I would too. I always like looking at the writers behind the words. So here are a few among many of me that I took in the last two weeks or so:

I wrote a play in May 2013, one in June 2013, and will have one done this month, as well. So three, one act plays, in three months. They are me at my very best, in regards to writing. They are all based upon Greek myths. I will be publishing them soon. I selected a couple of people to read the final drafts of my first two plays, the one's that have read them, all were favorable reviews. I'll be finished with the final draft of my third play, probably as early as this weekend. Then send it out to the same readers as my other two, then decide what to do in regards to publishing them. This is an unexpected unbelievable holy-fucking-shit-I-have-something-to-show-for-all-those-years, moment in my life. It's an incredible feeling to have actually accomplished something with my writing. I am reworking the ones I mentioned in this thread earlier into a collection of plays of my own not based on Greek myths.

Right. Reminds me of Tara Smith's Money Can Buy Happiness pamphlet:money *alone* won't make you happy.

Anyone plan on seeing The Great Gatsby? I only now heard about it, haven't even seen a trailer for it.
I'd rather see something else of F. Scott Fitzgerald' s done... like say The Diamond As Big As A Ritz, or This Side Of Paradise

The difference is whether or not the cord has been clamped and cut, or placenta expulsion to determine whether or not we have a potential or an actual, a biological parasite, or human baby with rights. We've discussed this in another thread some, that my position.
Anyone know of the u-cord and placenta still attached while he did this?
If he induced labor, but u-cord and placenta still attached to the host, whether it is inside the womb or outside, I think, it would still be a fetus, still be a potential, as its status as a biological parasite, would essentially remain the same.
