Got to understand why Christ was so fond of Mary Magdalene, and probably my way of justifying the repeated readings (at least of some pages...) Interesting post, never knew there had made movies too.

LOL!<br /><br />And you're exactly right - the movies are pretty innocuous fare - any teen from those years would have heard worse in school that day! <br /><br />She is an intriguing woman - and I'm glad I could shine the spotlight on her. Think she might make your A-Z 2013 if you spotlight interesting women? ;)Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2721496858742471361.post-10295303451299463912012-04-30T23:22:02.030-04:002012-04-30T23:22:02.030-04:00John,

I also appreciate you letting me know Ms. H WAS the author of her Call Me Madam columns - and I have edited the post accordingly!<br /><br />I would love to add your documentary's poster to the post - please send it to Remo007@aol.com - and I will get it right in here! I'm also going to update the post with her recent doings by quoting your comment!<br /><br />Cheers!Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2721496858742471361.post-7723324990500714132012-04-30T23:17:51.427-04:002012-04-30T23:17:51.427-04:00Martine's Xaviera reminds me of Tim Curry as F...Martine's Xaviera reminds me of Tim Curry as Frank N Furter. I remember watching those movies as the y were "forbidden" and I could never understand why. There was nothing really dirty about them. I'd seen and heard worse by the time I was 16. <br /><br />Xaviera certainly chose her life, lived it on her terms and opened a lot of eyes.

Nowadays, she produces English speaking theatre out of her fabulous villa in Marbella Spain, and runs a successful B&B business out of her hometown residence in Amsterdam, Holland.<br />Just to update you on her filmography, in 2008 I produced a documentary of her life story titled XAVIERA HOLLANDER, "THE HAPPY HOOKER"; PORTRAIT OF A SEXUAL REVOLUTIONARY. The film won several film festivals and gives an overview of Xaviera's early years in a Japanese concentration camp, through her rise to fame and fortunate, to what she is up to today. The most recent information on the film is available on the website: www.thehappyhookerdocumentary.com<br />I'd be happy to email you the sexy movie poster to add to your wonderful tribute, since I can't post it here on your blog directly.<br />By the way, Ms. Hollander was indeed the writer behind the sexual advice column "Call Me Madam" which ran in PENTHOUSE Magazine for 35 years. <br />All the best!John Patrick Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17739011390639504735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2721496858742471361.post-1730662672954024092012-04-28T20:32:27.497-04:002012-04-28T20:32:27.497-04:00I had an idea for an interview book called Outside...I had an idea for an interview book called Outsiders - which would have been interviews with people most people don't interact with - a prostitute, a stripper, a crossdresser, etc. I think you might get some fascinating stuff from them - I like your comment a lot!

I kept this post, though, and this year put the finishing touches on it and posted it proudly! I love movies like this!

I met a former call girl at a writer's conference last weekend. She's writing a book about her life. She was probably working in the business the same time this memoir was published.Stacy S.
