Who knew Deadwood could bring out the fetishist in us all?
My love affair with the series Deadwood from HBO continues. Each actress/actor in this series is gifted, and spot on with delivery of dialogue from series creator David Milch. The language is almost Shakespearean in delivery and rhythm.
The phrase that struck home with Me this past week, while watching the series yet again (a super slave bought me the entire series on DVD - thanks tommyboy), was what Al Swearengen called a "specialist".
We dirty girls and boys would call the same person a fetishist, at least in modern times. "Yeah. Strange, huh, ... but – something ya gotta know about specialists – they pay a premium, and they never cause fuckin’ trouble. Sometimes I imagine in my declining years runnin’ a small joint in Manchester, England, catering to specialists exclusive. And to let ‘em know they’re amongst their own, maybe I’ll operate from the corner, hanging upside down like a fuckin’ bat, hmm?." Al Swearengen
Personally, I'd rather see Al dressed in petticoats and garter belts, but perhaps that is my own little specialist's mind set! *giggle
Drop me a note of what you'd love to see Al Swearengen wearing while seeing to perverts like us!
