[seymoure]

What did I think when I first saw Denise? "Wow, it's Starfire!" (let her explain.) I was never as close to her as I might be, and there are two very specific reasons. First, I was always pretty modular in my presence at Renfest. I made contact with those I came into contact with, worked with, or whatever. Then I went home. I have never been much of a gregarious person. Secondly, I grew up in an atmosphere where there was flirting only as foreplay. And that flirting in many cases lead to unhappy political situations in my family. So I don't flirt. Many people at faire wanted to flirt with Seymoure and a few commented that I didn't play. Women on the road where I was doing stand-up always commented on the fact that when the show was over I went back to my room and couldn't wait to call home. I was pretty much a cold fish. In recent times I have come to value Denise in ways beyond telling, and am sorry that I was unable to open that door earlier. I know now that there is so much more to her than what was presented at faire, and now I can appreciate that. I hope to know more of her in the near future, and revel in the mind behind those looks. (But it is crime she never got to do a movie as Starfire!)
