I simply adore this photo.

That’s the famous photo by David Bailey they are to auction off at Christie’s at the moment. It was used for Christopher Sandford’s neutrally held bio of him from last year as advance reader’s copy. The officially released book cover now has another photo of Polanski on it. I like this shot, he did adore her and she was happy with him. If only people had warned them about Manson creeping around then, and none of what followed had ever transpired. Including Geimer.

- I love this shot too.
  
  I have always admired David Bailey’s work from the time I lived in London.
  
  I met David Bailey in Santa Monica. I have another coincidence which I will tell you of at another time.

  - Ha, how lovely – I love this shot too. The original was sold at Christie’s some months back & is the cover of one of the recent advance reader copy biographies on him – which unfortunately too included the same lie scumbag Kiernan came up with. I doubt I need to elaborate on which one.

FEATURED POSTS

Blog reports on and examines sexual politics in higher education with a focus on issues regarding sexual consent, particularly the attempted repression of student-professor consensual sexual relationships. Thie blog reflects a commitment to the values of liberty, freedom of association, freedom of speech and privacy; such are values that are under increasing attack, both intellectually and policy wise in all too many universities which have embraced a culture of comfort in the framework of a velvet totalitarianism.

In addition, the blog at times will go beyond the university and sexual politics to issues that merit our attention. Whatever the issue the dankprofessor blog will not be constrained by any ideological orthodoxy, sexual or political correctness. Hopefully, this blog will bring together persons who value liberty and freedom even in university life.

The dankprofessor is Barry M. Dank, an emeritus professor of sociology at California State University, Long Beach, where he taught students and engaged in various forms of professorial dissidence for some 35 years..

In 1977 he became famous/infamous for his LA Times article on the anti-homosexual campaign of Anita Bryant. Later he focused on interracial relationships and on student-professor relationships. He is the Founding Editor of SEXUALITY AND CULTURE, published by Springer NYC. During his 35 years as a professor and four years as an in-residence grad student at the University of Wisconsin, he openly engaged in propinquitous (as in propinquity) dating, dating students and having many wonderful friendships with many of his students and their families.
