The following was committed to print with painstaking accuracy. Every attempt

has been made to portray the particulars in a fair and objective light.

While the structures and citizens of Venice Beach are true to life, the locations

of certain establishments, and the identities of several persons, have been altered

for the sake of the community, and for the privacy of those individuals whose

lives were so brutally disrupted.

This said, the author cannot guarantee that events drawn from memory are one

hundred percent accurate, for, as this account will amply reveal, eyewitness

memory is never one hundred percent reliable.

black velvet curtains hung in her windows and doorway.

But for Purly, the little black room could never be dark

enough. That reflection belonged to a golden touch-me-not

goddess; on the inside sick and dying, on the surface uniquely

and breathtakingly attractive. Purly’s uniqueness, in heavily

cosmeticized Southern California, came partly from being dam-

aged goods, and partly from being an unadorned natural beauty

surrounded by gaggles of underdressed posers. Through no fault

of her own, this wounded nymph quality came off as a direct

challenge to men, and as a slap in the face to women.

In one of nature’s crueler little ironies, Marilyn Jayne
