Go Fish (1994) is a low budget, grainy, B&W lesbian film that is mostly talk. Normally, that would be a recipe for disaster for me, but this film overcame all of that. It had the ring of honesty, and gave me huge insight into a world I could never enter. On the surface, it is about two women who have been without partners for a long time, and want someone in their life. All of their friends see them as a perfect couple, but it takes the entire film to get them together and trusting each other. Although the love story is good, it is the glimpse into what it means to be a lesbian that kept my interest. It is far more than a sexual preference. It is a complete life style choice, and a political stance. V.S. Brodie and Guinevere Turner are the two leads, and show their breasts.

Maltin says 3 stars, Lesbian Flicks (http://glweb.com/lesbianflicks/gofish.html) confirms what I suspected about the honesty of the film, Ebert says 2 1/2 stars, and IMDB readers say 6.2/10. This film has something for anyone who is not violently opposed to same sex relationships. B-.

On July 12, Mulberry Cream questioned whether the Jacqueline Lovell shots in "The First Time Ever" were definitely her VERY FIRST. Well, it's always hard to positive, but the intent of this particular themed issue is to try to present the very first PHOTO SESSIONS that celebrities engaged in. In the course of a four-page layout, we try to present as much EARLY STUFF as we can {Flash: Guys like to look at young girls!}, so obviously, not all of it can be "The First". But it's all supposed to be among the EARLIEST.

Also please keep this in mind: They have to be OVER 18 in the photos ... so it's really their first nudes AFTER 18. I'm not sure how old Jackie/Sara was in the black&white series that Mulberry posted, but she could've been under 18. She herself sent me those pictures years ago, but we didn't run them. So since we could reliably purchase this complete, first professional photo set from when she was documented as 19 {I have both her driver's license AND the model release}, it seemed like a good thing to include. Especially since there won't be any more, it seems...

And besides, OUR "rare find" showed BUSH, Mulberry...

I was a bit surprised nobody commented on the anonymous Geri Halliwell "find" from Mallorca nearly a decade ago. That's the one I considered the most "Sleuthian" in the issue. Perhaps your members have seen too many "Ginger Snaps" already...

On July 7th, your viewer mail asked: "Scoop. Would like to know if you've seen the x rated scenes of Monique Gabrielle currently showing on the Iconophile Reliquary. If figure if you don't know anything about it, no one does!" {Sleuth note: I'm hurt...}. Your reply was, "Bottom line, my answer was 'no,"

To restore my {apparently tarnished} reputation, I should let your fans know that it's from a custom video made by Monique and her husband Tony for their company, Purrfect Productions. It's called "I'm Watching You," and stars blonde babe Sommer Knight {before her boob job}. Monique lends a...tongue...in a brief came-o.

Fans can order it toll free by calling 1-800-642-8183, or visiting www.sexsymboldynasty.com.

There is another one with Sommer that Monique is also in, called "Hot Girls," so they might want to check with Tony {who'll likely answer the 800# phone} to make sure it's the first one and not the second. He also has many more XXX-rated tapes involving Monique, so if they like her, they might want to ask what's available. Tell him "Sleuth sent ya" and he'll take care of you. (P.S. And no, I don't get a cut :-)

On June 25th, Brainscan invoked my name {perfectly all right, son!} in noting that Amy Lynn Baxter's scan "from her Penthouse Pet days indicates a violation of the Sleuth's prime directive of hooter enhancement {Correction: The "Prime Directive" concerns far more "cosmic" matters}, namely that you can change the size of the hooter but not the shape of the nip. Amy seems to have done both somewhere along the way."

Actually, I don't ever remember issuing such a "Directive"...but I DO RECALL speaking with Amy directly about this -- I also remember that it was it was on Flag Day of last year {just to prove that I haven't "lost it"!}, and Ms. B told me: "I had a really pretty, little B-cup. But I always had big hips, so once I got my breasts done I felt fully in proportion. I got really lucky" she added, "I got one of the best boob jobs." My guess is that they either went in through the nipple {hence the fairly natural look}...and/or her nipples changed somewhat as the result of having her baby daughter. Amy's a really sweet girl, Brainscan...so I think we should give her a pass on this one, okay? {Fun Housers can go to www.amylynn.com if they want to com-pair}.

Your best cappers might also want to take a stab at {figuratively speaking} the "new-to-me" sequence of full-frontal Madonna caps taken from a video shot while she made her "Sex" Book in 1992. There are about 40 frames in all that an expert {unlike myself} could probably make a great collage of {better yet, if they've got the "Sex Video"}. The images can be found...for free...at http://www.madonnanet.com/madonna/1992.htm.

Speaking of the Material Mom, one funny anecdote about the 3-week cruise that Mrs. Sleuth and I just returned from: We took a pre-cruise package at the remarkable Villa d'Este outside Milan {it was built nearly 500 years ago} and, after reading an article in Town & Country about the hotel, requested a "lake view" room, since it overlooks lovely Lake Como. We heard nothing back but, when we arrived, the General Manager eagerly took me aside and said: "Good news, Signor! Miss Madonna checked out of the Presidential Suite early {she went to stay with bosom bud Donatella Versace up the lake at Gianni's old villa, while performing on her European tour}. So we gave it to you!" "Terrific," I replied warily. "How much?" "The rate is 3 million 170 thousand lire, Signor," he answered matter-of-factly. I don't speak Italian, but was able to figure that's over $1800...A NIGHT! "No thanks, Federico," I countered. "But, Signor," he sputtered, "we've already given away your original room...and the hotel is FULLY BOOKED. You have to stay in the Presidential Suite!"

After 3 hours of high-level international negotiations, the classy cruise line graciously agreed to pick up the difference...so we slept in the bed just vacated by Madonna! And when I asked the sweet young Italian maid which side of the bed Madonna had used, she shyly replied: "From the looks of things, Sir, I'd say she used it ALL." Priceless...

After three nights we had to check out...because George Clooney wanted the Suite {I swear!}. He was without Lisa Snowdon OR newly rumored romance Julia Roberts, however.

On our first night at the hotel, I attended a classical concert of Guiseppi Verdi {Joe Green to you and me} and sat one chair away from...Sela Ward. Alas, her husband occupied the intervening one. She looked gorgeous, but much tinier than in pictures--she had almost no rear or hips. Very kind to everyone, though {though I still prefer AT&T for long distance}.

Assorted Additions/Corrections to the Last Month of Fun Houses:

Some caps of extremely varied quality today...

"Apres l'Amour" was very dimly lit on VHS, and the caps are extremely grainy, but they are from Isabelle Huppert during the period from which you (or someone) were lamenting about having nothing on her.

I suppose I should say that she was a favorite. That all changed when she decided to cut down on the nudity.

Kari, we love ya, but seriously, keep the clothes off.

Does anyone have images of Katie Holmes in "The Gift" in the scene where we see her backside in a thong. There are quick images of her turned around when she is pushed into the car, right before she is strangled.

-Thanks
