Week of April 8, 2001
After returning back to my loft on 57th Street, I looked once again (in better light) at the pictures I'd taken of the snapshots I found tucked away
in Libbie's desk. The quality wasn't all that good, but one could easily tell it was of two people in a natural state of undress. Legs splayed wide...full moon with a silhouette of the man.
After a 3 day binger to try to put this picture out of my mind, the thought still nagged at me of just WHO could this picture be of...and WHY does Libbie have it? Yeah, yeah...I'm off the wagon again. The picture made me do it!!
So I went to work in my darkroom I've got hidden behind some paneling. Ya never know who might be watching these days. There are spies among us! My
first delving into enlarging the picture was not too successful. The image of the woman was not too good, but the man looked a lot like Gr8stAmHero.
That makes sense...he's somewhat handsome...single...a world traveler. Although I don't know how on his salary. Could the woman be Libbie? I knew
I'd have to undertake some more enlarging and focusing.
On my 2nd try, the image was much sharper. The hair on the man was all wrong to be Gr8. No curls, and the shirt lying on the naugahyde sofa was not a Hilfiger.
On this try, I thought for sure I'd hit paydirt by thinking it was that jeffpsu character. You know, the one with the caustic slippers. And the woman could still be Libbie. She had dark hair, that I was sure of. But Libbie has some wave to her hair. This woman has straight hair. Trying to piece what women Gr8 and jeff know with this hair, I arrived at jebridan,
cupcake13, and maybe Libbie before a perm. Makes sense that Libbie would hide these pictures if she's in them. Thinking maybe I should try again...use a tad bit more enhancer.
3rd try: MUCH clearer. Not jeff at all. And it is definitely NOT Libbie. It's cupcake!! And she looks like she's really enjoying the "treat" she's
receiving! The man is heavier than I first thought. No way it could be jeff. Now it looks a lot like VIZZ. And those two DO talk quite a bit online. Hmmmm.....maybe I'd better look at the 30's 2 player pics again, just to be sure.
After further analysis, I have concrete proof with these pictures that it is indeed cupcake...and the man? It's phowle!!! Can you imagine that?? I was
flabbergasted! There had been whisperings cup was pregnant, but I didn't believe it for a second. Not the sweet cupcake I've seen in acro. Her acros are so wholesome. Never a hint at sexual deviancy. My, my, my...what lies beneath...
Now, what COULD Libster be doing with these pix I wonder? And why hide them in her desk? I would think she'd put them in this newspaper. They'd sell like hotcakes! (or is that cupcakes??) Hard to believe she has kept them a secret this long. Usually, around the pressroom, if you wanna know something, you go to Lib. She's got the latest dish on everyone.
As I stroll to work the next morning, a blind newsdealer's kiosk catches my eye. It's the latest issue of The Star. And wouldn't ya know who's on the
front cover? It's cupcake! With the headline "I was Impregnated by an Alien!" And OMG you would NOT believe the pix inside!! Looks more like a
Hustler spread.
NOW I know what Lib was doing with those pictures! She
sold them to the highest bidder! She sold out her own newspaper. I hope she got good money out of 'em. Maybe if I confront her with this information, she'll pay me some hush money. At least buy me a good dinner.
Been so long since I had one of those. And a new car. My 1979 Seville ain't running like she used to. But then again...she'll know I was the one snooping in her desk. Might be time to get a little dirt on our editor before I confront her with this new-found knowledge...
