"The Ice Pirates," 1984...

(I don't endorse anything about this movie I just think it was weird, --- one-of-a-kind, for sure!!! 👈😬😮😳😵😆)

It was a science fiction comedy that would be considered very campy now, --- so bad it was good... I especially remember the space herpe. The plot explained, below...

AKKK!!!... The yucky space herpe... 😱🙈🙉🙊

"Weeds," by Edna St. Vincent Millay

"White with daisies and red with sorrel
And empty, empty under the sky!—
Life is a quest and love a quarrel—
Here is a place for me to lie.

Daisies spring from damnèd seeds,
And this red fire that here I see
Is a worthless crop of crimson weeds,
Cursed by farmers thriftily.

But here, unhated for an hour,
The sorrel runs in ragged flame,
The daisy stands, a bastard flower,
Like flowers that bear an honest name.

And here a while, where no wind brings
The baying of a pack athirst,
May sleep the sleep of blessèd things,
The blood too bright, the brow accurst."

Hmmm... About some of my characters...

In my "SEXIEST JEWELS" contemporary suspense thriller mysteries, Duke Alexandre Valentin Rurik Borisovich Volkov, from a very rich noble Russian family, has been a cat burglar, a "fetcher" for the international crime organization the Shadow Brotherhood for years, stealing in exotic locales, - Paris, Monaco, the Isle Of Capri, Rome, Greece, Istanbul, South America, Africa, Arabia, Mexico... He claims to be an importer. Uh, --- does that mean smuggling?

Will Burton's a buccaneer captain in my pirate adventure series, --- the first novel - "PIRATE HEART", the second - "THE BLEEDING RUBY", the third - "THE OLD SCHEME IN NEW ORLEANS," the fourth - "PIRATE MERMAID" . (Yes, Will Burton talks in "pirate speak," --- using pirate expressions and dialect. Although, he's very intelligent and can speak perfect English, as well as a lord, when he wants to.)

In "RUBY'S CAPTIVE", my adventure of the Old West, Ruby is the half Apache, half Mexican outlaw son of Caliopa Mendez, a school teacher, and Jitendra, an Chiricahua Chief. The second novel, actually a prequel, in the Ruby series is "RUBY & THE APACHE GOLD;" the third is "RUBY & THE APACHE REBELLION".

Faerie and Celtic god Aonghus Mac Og, the seventh child of the High King of the Tuatha de Dannan, the noble trooping faeries of ancient Ireland, is the hero of "ELFSTROKE", the first in my trilogy of fantasy novels set in Old Eire and under the faerie mounds. Hmmm... The Bad Faeries are rebelling, and they're desperate!

Rose Mahoney of "RUBY'S CAPTIVE," is the daughter of Buck Mahoney, who owns one of the biggest spread in the Arizona Territory. She's a big, buxom girl, almost six feet tall and as good on a horse, or with a rope as any cowboy, Her size and her obvious attraction to him is why Ruby Mendez wants her.

Theresa Ruhs is rather innocent and naieve, just the opposite of worldly, sophisticated Alexandre Volkov. When she meets him at the opera she, naturally, has no idea how dangerous he is. Poor girl thinks he's the man of her dreams.

Queen Mab is blue, --- her skin, she's not sad... But, she's quite upset. The Bad Faeries are always hard to control, more than ever now, when they're so horny. In "ELFSTROKE," she thinks she has a way to solve her problem.

Gussie St. Clair is a smart, sassy, lush & gorgeous natural honey blond actress in the Old West. In "HELL'S BELLES," she comes into town looking for a place to stay. Gussie doesn't like the ratty look of the local hotel; she spies a beautiful golden trimmed Victorian house far down the street. It's a whore house, but that doesn't bother Gussie a bit. She's a flexible kind of girl. Later, when she meets law-woman Charlotte Beacon she senses immediately that they'll be BFFs.
