"The biggest problem with the metal bikini, was that it wasn’t metal. ——Not that metal would’ve been an improvement over what it was actually made of, which was kind of a hard plastic. Whatever it was, it didn’t adhere to one’s skin. MY skin. My young, soon to be popular, unlucky skin. SO, when I was relaxing leisurely against Jabba the Hutt’s gigantic, albiet grotesque stomach, my hard, plastic bikini bottom……….well, it had the tendency to make my now not so private privates quite public. Especially for the actor standing behind Jabba playing Bobba Fett—–I believe his name was Jeremy—–from where Bobba/Jeremy stood, so straight and tall and severe behind his mask——to put it simply and weirdly, Jeremy could see beyond my yawning, plastic bikini bottoms all the way to Florida."
- Carrie Fisher goes from writing the occasional book to daily blogging, from substance abuse to abusing punctuation
I like Fisher's writing. She was snarky before snarky was hip.
I'll also just assume the misspelling of Boba Fett is some feint designed to lure readers into an impending "Move Out of Your Parents' Basements"-style jazz rant.

Q: Ms. Fisher, why is "Boba" misspelled on your blog?
A: A Sith lord did it.

Postcards from the Edge was good reading, fascinatingly human frosted with just the right bit of humor and satire for me. I have my doubts she can write the same way as a blogger, but I enjoyed that book enough I'm definitely interested to see what she writes about and how she writes about it.

Her book Wishful Drinking - which is a memoir based on a stage show she does about her life - isn't too far removed from a blog in dead-tree form. And I'm sure there will be a bit of crossover from that. But when she writes about stuff like the Milk party she had at her house - and I presume that happens to her a lot, then a blog doesn't seem like too much of a stretch for her.

I've been to a bunch of parties with super famous people and never ever can think of a way to approach them, leaving me feeling dopey and awkward. I think she just gave me a great line:
I approached Mick Jagger and said, “You won’t believe this, but someone told me that Mick Jagger is here!”

HAY GUYS! Did you know that Carrie Fisher once had to play a character where she wore a bikini so tiny that it became masturbation fodder for millions of nerds? And that it was so tiny and uncomfortable her vagina would show? And that when she told people about how uncomfortable and tiny it was, those same previously masturbating nerds started discussing how they totally would not like to have sex with her vagina anymore? I just read all of it on the internet.

From Wishful Drinking on the question "Did you know Star Wars was going to be a hit?" -
Yes, of course I knew. We all knew. The only one who didn't know was George Lucas. We kept it from him because we wanted to see what he face looked like when it changed expression - and he fooled us even then. He got Industrial Light and Magic to change his facial expression for him and THX sound to make the noise of a face changing expression.

There's just something very special about that moment when a woman, even an onscreen woman, does something to you that you don't understand and don't quite expect but that you find absolutely overwhelming and sends the testoterone racing in a way no one ever did before.
I can start to criticize her for something, but then there she is in my mind's eye cradled against Jabba the Hutt in the metal bikini and suddenly I'm a kid again and newly discovered adolescent lust is pouring over me in a way that crowds out all other thoughts. [sigh]

He sidles up and leans against the side of the Jabba costume.

From Wishful Drinking:
George: "You can't wear a bra under that dress."
Carrie: "Okay, I'll bite. Why?"
George: "Because... there's no underwear in space."
...
Now George came to my show in Berkley... and explained why you can't wear your brassiere in other galaxies... So, what happens is you go to space and become weightless... But then your body expands??? But your bra doesn't - so you get strangled by your own bra. Now I think this would make a fantastic obit.

Not band-aids, but gaffer tape. From an article Fisher wrote for Newsweek in 1999:
I was at a surreal age, on a surreal set. It took two hours to put my bad hair on. For some reason there wasn't any lingerie in space, so I didn't wear a bra, and when there were running scenes they bound my breasts with gaffer tape. I used to say, "At the end of the day we should have an auction with the crew—whoever wins gets to rip the gaffer tape off my breasts." At one point, I made a Xerox of said breasts, and my friend Charlie, who was a production assistant, passed copies out to the crew.
My pre-teen brass bikini fantasies have now been officially supplanted.

Actually my favourite thing she ever did was an interview series called "Conversations from the Edge". There's not really a good database online anywhere with all the people she interviewed, but mostly she had people over to her house to chat about their lives which eventually became a discussion about her addiction and her messed up relationship with her mother and father.
The interview with her mother, Debbie Reynolds, was a brilliant hour but the absolute highlight of the whole series was an interview with her father, Eddie Fisher - which was covered by the New York Times when it aired.

Drop Dead Fred
Drop Dead Fred is like watching someone have a seizure and then punch a toddler. You can't look away, you feel sorry, and it's also kinda funny.
I know at least one girl who had a weird sexual awakening to the movie, and ended up with bad boys for a loooong time afterward.
Still, it didn't pervert as many ladies as Labyrinth did. There is a strata of 20-36 year old women who will melt into incoherent puddles at "Until the World Falls Down."
