i stumbled upon this clip in my youtube travels. i actually sat through this film in '79 i believe. it was my friend velvet's favorite topic of conversation. i think he secretly wanted to change his sex. he was transfixed with some of the dialogue in this film.
velvet(neal) was part of our inner circle in the late 70's and early 80's. he was a chauffeur for a wealthy candy maker's widow and worked part time, but earned a full time salary. he always had fab clothes and heard all the latest dirt. his boss also looked out for him all the time, too.(translation- enabled his drug use).
velvet got his name because he had a retread operation on his booty. before this operation, he used to do chrissy (as it was called back then) and go to the tubs and pull trains. it stretched his muscles so he had a retread. the doctor instructe him not to engage in anal sex for at least six weeks to let the wounds heal properly. at the end of six weeks, neal went out on his first excursion. he hooked up with some guy for the night and then came around the next day with a shit eating grin on his face. we asked how his night went and he replied: girl... he told me my hole was like velvet...
and the name stuck...
so i guess we can just consider this clip "channeling velvet"
