JACK DID IT: What About YOU?
Lynne:
This thread needs new life! There are some fun stories buried in here! It dates from early in CT's history here when I was shy ::).
I don't think I've done any real flirting in quite a few years, since my divorce, really. The few instances I can think of are relatively recent and have been pretty much as safe as possible (not unintentionally). You know who you are!! - and I have to say thank you for accepting it with grace and good humor. There's something intrinsically good about a little flirting for the self-esteem boost (at least when it doesn't bomb)...it doesn't need to lead anywhere at all.
That said, though, I have a candidate in mind for some not-so-harmless flirting in my immediate future, so I'll have to report back my luck or lack thereof ;)!

Hey, Lynne,
It's fun to get this blast from the past; it all seems so long ago now, but you're right, some wonderful anecdotes to be found here.

...reminded me of a scene from the (made for television?) film of "The Naked Civil Servant", a biopic on Quentin Crisp starring John Hurt as the venerable Crisp, from circa 1976. Crisp's character stated here that one of his fondest memories in life was a moment of innocent flirtation between himself and a crew of cheeky but good-natured sailors. He said that nothing happened, and that nothing was going to happen...just a little bit of innocent, friendly fun that he cherished as an emotional high point in his existence.

Quentin Crisp was one for the quips wasn't he? I hear him quoted all the time. And he was great as Elizabeth I in the movie Orlando.

A friend of mine actually spoke to Mr. Crisp on the phone once--a rather bizarre, convoluted set of circumstances brought the two together aurally, but my friend handled himself with poise and grace, judging from his account of the conversation, and Mr. Crisp sounded as if he were as charming and gentle as one would have expected. He definitely had a sharp mind of great refinement.
Yes, I thought he was quite good as the Queen(!) in Orlando, a film that on the whole I found unsuccessful (though the same director's [Sally Potter] later Yes I consider to be a masterpiece, one of the great movies of the young twenty-first century).

Just for Scott's sake, let's bring this topic back one more time!!
