Dear Susie, I just interrupted my breakfast (a big deal obvs) to sign into your substack to tell you how incredible your Candida radio story was. What a tonic to hear someone who actually knows that scene give a proper account of the life of someone in it. You really recreated the texture of the era. And to call out the po-faced, judgmental ways of the likes of the New York Times. You did Candy proud. Ok, back to breakfast. Keep up your great work! ST

That means a lot coming from you, Stephanie. We get so sick of the same “whore wallpaper” they hang up, every time!

What an incredible story. Thank you so much for sharing it! (Side note, but this story also makes me appreciate Debi's book and all the amazing work she did in this arena even more...)

Yes, one of a kind. I got quite choked up reflecting on it all.

Damn stripper money has gone downhill and why don't I have a rose quartz egg handy? 🤣 It's an incredible pleasure and privilege to hear these stories, Susie. Thank you so much.

Stripper money has indeed seen better days. I love thinking of you listening to this and how you understand every word.
