Shut up, you mugs!

Because I've been reading sleveen's gangster novel (and it's so GOOD) I'm immersed in noir gangster life at the moment. I'm talking like Edward G Robinson and slapping dolls around. My Mafia name is Luca Leatherface which is entirely unfair.

And sleveen is EVIL. EVIL!! I can't tell you what paroxyms I've been through reading this. God this book has to get published, if there's any justice. Imagine the sexiest gangster you can - I personally love Cagney and young Clark Gable then rub 'em together and you've got this book. But not missing out any of the tropes of the era.

It's good, see? Tell 'em Luca Leatherface sent yer. Yeah.

Everyone loves the mob - FUTZ was our most popular doujinshi. :)

It's intoxicating.

i LOVED FUTZ even though i didn't know of the fandom before i read it.

I find it amazing that no-one's done this before, but it works, it really works.

Depression era gangsters are sexiest, because the tommy guns and the suits. Yakuza are fatally delicious because of the tattoos and their strict honor code. I love the 80's Italian-American mafia [it's why I wrote Roulette]. Those flashy suits and goombah oversteps!

But there's always going to be a place in my heart for my own kind [Mafiya] Russians, Poles, Slovaks - I love these gangsters best of all. :)

I got Guiseppe Romano, which seemed odd until I realized you had to click the radial button for female, so I did it again and I'm Natalia Romano, which doesn't sound very mafiosi. More like an actress in a spaghetti western.

I prefer Guiseppe. Hey, Joe "the pen" Romano, they'd call you. The pen is mighier than the gat. You have sharpened ones and you throw them.

Sure, and then Guido with no neck flicks my pens away, pulls out his revolver and whacks me. I've seen that movie.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

You've seen entirely TOO many movies. You have to win, them's the rules.

Mug: That erastes dame!
Nino: You know, sometimes I worry if you're even a nitwit...

My mafia name is Jumpy Bambi Milano. ROTFL

Do you have any of Edward G. Robinson's films??? He is not to be missed...start with Little Caesar and go from there...

And thank you for your kind compliments. I really, really appreciate it. You can't know how it lifts my spirits to hear such praise, after such a looooooong drought. :)
