What is that about you ask? Pre-blog I sent e-mails like my blog entries out to friends. Last year I sent a couple out in regards to the MM/ERW relationship. At the time MM was coming off of his marriage with burlesque star Dita Von Tesse. In an article published on 5/18/07 by the Associated Press, MM said that he was devastated by the end of his marriage. According to Manson, "I came out of this naked, a featherless bird." I think that sentiment has personal meaning for all of us, so I will let you take from it what you will. (To help provide additional context, I am putting the text of my '07 MM/ERW e-mails at the end of this entry.)
Anywho . . . . apparently Evan says that she loves and respects MM as a person and as an artist. (Well, who doesn't really?) She is distraught by the fact that there are all kind of rumors swirling around their breakup when really they just decided to take some "time apart" to "concentrate on work". And they are never getting back together. Ever.
Mmmmmmm. Yes. Well. I am going to be watching to see if 1) MM finds another teen starlet to replace ERW who is a bit past her sell-by date now that she is nearly old enough to drink and 2) if ERW is going to stops dressing like a young Dita Von Tesse. I kind of feel bad for ERW's next boyfriend. How can he compare, really?
What I am really wondering is if MM is feeling both naked and featherless again. I hope not, because that could really ruin his holidays.

"Boys Who Look Like Girls Who Look Like Burlesque Stars"--05/21/07
A few thoughts here:
1) I think that I would like to be able to put "Glitzy Goth Rocker" on my resume at some point. That has a "wow" factor that you just don't get from "Project Manager of Blah Blah Blah".
2) He says he has no soul left. I thought that the Christian right has said the he never had a soul in the first place. Who am I to believe?
3) Dita "tolerated" his lifestyle hoping that he would change. What part exactly was she hoping would change? The makeup? The weird mismatched contact lenses? The obsession with death? The leather-based Gothic wardrobe? My advise to Dita: Pick your battles, girl! This wasn't just a minor remodel project you took on. This was a full-on demotion and rebuild. No good can come of that.
4) Soulless, featherless bird. I am guessing that he is not going to put that in his 2007 Christmas letter to family and friends.
5) He was really impressed when his new 19-year old girlfriend said that she would die for him. That will definitely go into this years holiday missive next to the picture of Marilyn and Evan in matching sweaters next to a dead tree.
6) "Boys in makeup are the greatest thing ever . . . . " Translation: I am really, really young and will be mortified in ten years when I realize that I have committed this ridiculous statement to the public record.

"Mom, Dad, Meet the Naked, Featherless Bird"--6/12/07
We all, at some point, have had to introduce a new boyfriend or girlfriend to the parents. It can bring its share of anxiety. That, though, has to pale in comparison to Evan Rachel Wood introducing Ma and Pa Wood to her new beau, Marilyn Manson. Marilyn Manson of the pancake make-up, goth gear, spitting blood stage shows, naked featherless bird post Diva VT break-up, Annie-like "I never wanna grow up" ilk. That one--so you don't get confused. Yeah, so ERW introduced her boyfreak, I mean, boyfriend to the folks because they were apparently little upset because--so many reasons--she plays a sexually suggestive role in one of MM's music videos. (Some of the other possible reasons for them to be upset: he is 38, she is 19; since meeting MM their daughter has started to dress like a burlesque star; he creates art work that is actually even creepier than his songs if you can believe that--and so on and so on and so on.) Monsieur Manson had a drink with the Swiss Family Woods. He, apparently, wanted to make sure that they didn't think that he is pulling her into his bad behavior. To that end, MM said of the meeting, "The main thing that needs to be established is that I might share my life with her, but that does not incriminate her in my behavior. So, if I want to dig a hole and bury my genitals in it, that doesn't mean she dug the hole."
Um, what?! Me-thinks that did not help to quell their parental fears.
