Radio advertisement sign from the 1920s, back up and working thanks to my friend Tom.

Anybody know who this artist might be? Have no idea; just want to know! I have a movie poster with this signature.

I collect movie posters.

I volunteer in the Puppy Parlor at the Humane Society of Missouri.

This is the book I wrote about growing up gay in the 1950s and 60s. (michaelshepley.com) Now writing years in NYC 1971-2016. In the old days we stood around bars or read classifieds in the Village Voice! Still, it was more personal with less deception. #LGBTQMemoir #ShowbizHistory #GayHistory

Much love and intimate connections to all those who weathered coming out and are wanting love at this holiday time. There is always a way! Be blessed with goodness.

Anyone out there survived being gay in the 1950s or 60s? What if anything from show business inspired or sustained you? I loved Shirley Temple movies ... if she could lift an entire nation out of the Depression (1930s), she could do the same for me! And did.
