Why it’s easier to be poor – AS A GUY

Welcome to PERMANENT OBSCURITY

Well, it sucks being poor. But if I'm gonna be it, at least I'm glad I'm a guy.

Just think of all the things I DON'T have to spend money on:

1. bras
2. silken panties
3. stockings and frilly lingerie
4. face creams
5. perfumes
6. MAKE-UP
7. expensive haircuts … with color jobs
8. expensive "color treated" conditioners and shampoos
9. hairspray
10. bubble bath soap
11. aromatic candles
12. herb tea
13. restaurants with fancy atmosphere
14. romantic music … to put me in the mood
15. jewelry ... that expresses who I am
16. trendy clothes ... that expresses the inner me
17. color socks … especially fuzzy gorilla sox (with a separate sleeve for each toe)
18. pedicures
19. manicures
20. anything else nail polish related  (including nail files, polish remover, cotton balls)
21. epilators
22. tweezers
23. wax jobs
24. massages … for breast-weight related backaches
25. massages … for high-heel related foot pain
26. Kotex and tampons
27. Alleve or other extra-strength painkillers
28. hot-water bottles for bloating, menstrual-related  tummy aches
29. extra blankets and sweaters … cause I'm "cold"
30. fresh exotic vegetables from around the world … that just sit in the crisper
31. exotic spices for cooking … that sit there, in racks, gathering dust
32. calcium, vitamin e and other specialized dietary supplements
33. cranberry juice for urinary tract infections
34. mini liquor bottles
35. tarot cards … for those swirly pagan moods
36. astrology books
37. chocolate

IS THIS EXPLOITATION NOVEL RIGHT FOR YOU?

"Notebook" for the novel --> http://permanentobscurity.com/

I need to emphasize that PERMANENT OBSCURITY is not "erotica," although it has BDSM overtones (leaning toward so-called "femdom"). It's really a dark comedy about bohemia and the difficulty of relationships (female/male and female/female) and finally the big question for anyone in the arts (or in the tabloid media): sudden fame vs. permanent anonymity. The style of the novel is inspired by '60s over-the-top sexploition films like those of Russ Meyer (FASTER PUSSYCAT KILL KILL, BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS) and those Something Weird Videos, like A SWEET SICKNESS and BAD GIRLS GO TO HELL [so-called “cautionary tales”]) -- updated to the Bush era (circa 2006).

PERMANENT OBSCURITY: Or a Cautionary Tale of Two Girls and Their Misadventures with Drugs, Pornography and Death by Dolores Santana (as told to Richard Perez)
Written in the 3 parts:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~: About the Author:

 

Initially published small literary magazines, Richard Perez has also written for The New York Times (a newspaper he doesn't read.) His first novel, The Losers' Club (aka: The Losers' Club: Complete Restored Edition) has three foreign translations to date: Korean, Turkish, Italian. PERMANENT OBSCURITY: or a Cautionary Tale of Two Girls and Their Misadventures with Drugs, Pornography, and Death — his second novel — also reflects his infatuation with bohemia and willful nonconformists.
