[variousqueerthings]

hi hello the exorcist show for the ask game please!!! (hope you are well!)

AHHH HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO

awwyeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (also known as: the show of all fucking time that nobody watched before it was too late, including my good self but lbr they were never giving it a third season but does it matter???? we got two seasons of some of the most beautiful narrative you can imagine. chill im chill you know im chill gosh im so happy you watched this show still!)

my favorite female character ooh, this is interesting, because I never had a Fave fave out of all of them, but i think a toss-up between Angela Rance (duh, perhaps, my beloved Geena Davis), Mother Bernadette (i miss u babe), and Rose Cooper (head solidly on her shoulders as she navigates the utterly bizarre, adopts all the kids 😭😭😭)

my favorite male character YOU KNOW! HOW DIFFICULT! THIS IS! YOU KNOW I HAVE TO GO MARCUS BUT THEN TOMAS WOULD ALSO SAY MARCUS (but then Marcus would say Tomas, so forwards and backwards we go) - my midlands orphan who was groomed and abused by the Church to become an object/weapon, who has somehow maintained an inherent belief in People, in Goodness, and above all who will never ever let another child suffer on his watch!!!! who sees abused children and wants to save them!!!!!!!!! who is queer and deeply repressed (canonically this time, we say this about many a character, but Canonically!!!!) and working through it!!!! played by the beauteous and yet rugged Ben Daniels!!!! This character Did Things to my psyche forever and always, he is nestled softly in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my favorite book/season/etc Mmmmmmm there's only two to go for... I think........ argh. hm. ok. no. i can't do it. coward's way out. soz babe

my favorite episode (if its a tv show) me like, damn it's so episodic, what happened wheeen but ok in terms of Moments in the story: s1: when we properly discover who Angela is. the rug pull is so so good for me and pulls everything into focus as a Story! s2: toss up between "Marcus makes out with a sexy fisherman (called Peter!!) while Tomas embarks on The Horrors alone," and the finale............. gosh that s2 finale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my favorite cast member I've seen Ben Daniels onstage and it absolutely rocked my whole world, but I cannot go without shouting out Alfonso Herrera (yes, he of Sense8 fame to anyone reading this trying to connect the dots!) Geena Davis, and John Cho!!!! like!!!! this cast is fucking Stacked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my favorite ship Tomas/Marcus. whatever they are, they are everything to one another! which is the whole core of the show

a character I’d die defending Father Devon Bennett!!!!! I don't know if he needs defending from fandom, but holy cow the way we leave him is so so bleak it hurts my soul!!!!! can someone come save my baby boy 😭😭😭

a character I just can’t sympathize with Idk man. the demons? OH NO WAIT I KNOW FUCKN! MARIA WALTERS!!!! Truly a "ok sob story, still evil" kinda thing (which is the point, this woman!!! this fucking woman!!!!!!!) -- i do like how absolutely pathetic she was in a particular way I usually see in these powerhungry guys! girlboss! cancer killed the demon inside of her (lol)

a character I grew to love I'd say Mouse. I think the thing about Mouse is simply that we didn't get to the next part of her story, so she's In Potentia permanently. I also think it was a slight misstep to ground her in a past will-they-won't-they with Marcus, because it puts her into that fatal position of "oh so she's just a love interest after all" vs giving her her own journey, BUT! HOWEVER! She does have her own journey! very much so in fact! it's just that that wig Ben Daniels had in the flashbacks was fucking atrocious and you were maybe more interested in the current-day stuff on first watch but then on second watch she really came into her own for me, especially everything she was doing with Bennett! I wish we'd had more of them doing Stuff together! I wish we could have seen her and Tomas properly bonding!!!!!!!!!

my anti otp um. dunno really. Marcus and the wig. I wasn't necessarily compelled by Marcus and Mouse romantically either, I will say, but her hero-worshipping him and misreading it a certain way (she was a young nun, he was a mysterious exorcist), that I can get behind, especially since present-day Mouse is so Capable and Jaded, we like that journey for her

Anyway... that fucking show. forever in my mind. forever hurting my soul. forever waiting for a third season. forever recommending it because even without a full ending it's so so satisfying!

sry needed to add gifs of marcus touching tomas like he's precious

[snootlestheangel]

Cause I just saw a post bout Coffee, what would your OC's coffee orders?

Just being a lil curious creature

I'm gonna do all of them starting with the COD ones

Bryn likes hot coffee with a bit of creamer and sugar. Not too much but still not quite bitter. Is very strict about only drinking one cup in the morning.

Woody actually doesn't like coffee, believe it or not. He's more of a tea drinker.

Truck is unsurprisingly simple. Black coffee with like a single spoonful of sugar. No one is sure if the sugar makes any difference but he swears there is. He can always somehow tell if his coffee is missing the sugar.

Ness doesn't like hot drinks but hates iced coffee so he ends up letting his coffee sit and get a bit lukewarm before chugging it all in one go. He doesn't often add anything to it but he also gets coffee that isn't as strong.

Flash is an iced latte kind of guy. Absolutely does not need coffee and is banned from it, but on the rare occasion he manages to get his hands on some, it's an iced latte

Bennett is a cold brew guy but with nothing added. Just the straight cold brew coffee.

Maxlar drinks any and all kinds of coffee. Hot, cold, doesn't matter to him. Black or so full of sugar and cream it's barely considered coffee anymore.

Malvo doesn't drink coffee, or anything actually because he doesn't need to. He's offended you would assume he drinks coffee, and especially offended you assume it's straight, steaming hot black coffee.

Devon doesn't drink coffee because he's a big Dragon and caffeine is terrible for big Dragons like him.

Hades drinks hot coffee with a buttload of creamer. It's still got enough of a coffee taste that it still counts but he's pushing the limit.

Aten, despite also being a dragon and shouldn't be drinking coffee, is a cold brew with creamer kind of guy. Hades is going to have a heart attack and die if he catches Aten drinking coffee again.

Troy, despite being a vampire, still chugs what's left of Aten's coffee when he gets yelled at for drinking coffee. It is the only coffee Troy will drink. It's weird and he knows and he doesn't care.

Offspring

I am standing on the side of the bed as I watch my neighbor's youngest son, Devon, wake up his equally hot dad by sticking his tongue inside his mouth. Mr. Bennett struggles and shakes his body as his alien-possessed son infects him with the alien parasite.

Mr. Bennett is fit, but he doesn't have a chance against his much more muscular youngest son. Seeing my hot neighbor's son helping me turn his dad into an alien host is getting me so hard! I pull down Mr. Bennett's shorts so I can finally see his bulge from closer. His bulge is as big as I was expecting, and the fact he is wearing white underwear makes it a lot hotter, the urge to sniff that man's bulge grows stronger at each passing second that I stare at it.

While I hear the slurping noises coming from their passionate "kiss" I bury my face in Daddy Bennett's bulge and take a deep sniff while I hear the wet sounds of the parasite forcing its way down his throat.

With my face still buried in his cock and balls, I look up and catch a glimpse of the parasite sliding from Devon to his dad's mouth; The snake-like parasite is quite long and very thick, so thick that Mr. Bennett's throat bloats with the intrusion. I bury my face even deeper in his massive bulge, licking it over the fabric. I can't wait to have them both as my alien-possessed sex slaves, I think to myself.

Devon finally detaches his mouth from his dad and I watch the parasite's tail wriggle and disappear inside Mr. Bennett. I can't hold it any longer and pull down his underwear. I look in awe at how beautiful Mr. Bennett's cock and balls are; his balls are huge and heavy, and even while soft, his cock is big and thick, but he won't be soft for much longer. I took his big cock into my mouth and started to feel the member grow to its full length. Devon just continues standing on the side with the same slack and empty face he has since he was taken over, totally unbothered by the fact I'm blowing his dad.

With my mouth full of Mr. Bennett's cock, I have a great view of his stomach, and I witness something amazing happen; his belly starts to bloat, and I can see what is obviously the parasite wriggling inside him, doing something to him. I put my hand on top of his stomach and felt the alien moving inside.

I had seen the same thing happen with Devon when I put the parasite in his agape mouth while he was sleeping on the couch downstairs. But after a few minutes, his belly went back to normal, and he stood up with a blank facial expression; he didn't say anything and just stood up and took the stairs toward his dad's bedroom. I followed right behind him.

Now that the parasite has left Devon, he is left motionless like a robot without battery. I see Mr. Bennett's stomach slowly going back to normal and he finally wakes up, sitting on the bed while I am still latching on his cock. I feel his hand on the back of my hair, and he gently pulls me away; he has the same empty look on his face that Devon has. And without saying a word, Mr. Bennett gets off the bed and kneels in front of Devon, pulls down his shorts, and takes his son's cock into his mouth.

The sight is nothing but breathtaking. After a few seconds of blowing Devon, he stands up, now both of them sporting a hard-on. Mr. Bennett stands close to his son, close enough for their cocks to be aiming at one another. Leaving only a few inches apart from each cock head. Then what happens next is something I will never forget. A small black parasite—a lot thinner and smaller than the one I helped inside Devon—crawls out of Mr. Bennett's piss slit and makes its way inside Devon's cock.

Both of their eyes roll back and they shook while still standing, the parasite connecting them both by their cocks. When the tail disappears inside Devon's slit, Devon finally comes back to life; though 'life' might not be the right word since he still has the same blank expression, at least he is moving again. Devon and Mr. Bennett stare directly at each other for a few seconds, then they smile at each other—only those smiles were nothing but human.

Mr. Bennett slowly raises a hand, and Devon mimics him; then Mr. Bennett tilts his head, and Devon does the same, they continue going on like this for a while. I'm not sure what is happening; it's like they are connecting somehow. Whatever that is, it's an eerie sight, I must admit.

After playing that game for a few more minutes, they walk out of the room without saying a word, with Mr. Bennett leading the way. Their cocks swung and throbbed with each step, and I was no different.

Mr. Bennett stops in front of a room and slowly opens the door; inside is his oldest son, Matt, who is sleeping peacefully in only his underwear.

Matt is as hot as his dad and younger brother, with him being the most muscular of the three. Mr. Bennett and Devon walk toward him, but only Mr. Bennett starts jerking off over Matt's sleeping body; soon, he shoots a tiny black parasite from his cock, identical to the one he infected Devon with.

The tiny parasite crawled towards Matt's crotch and disappeared inside his grey underwear. I watch Matt suddenly squirm on the bed and grunt in discomfort; The way his muscles flexed during the takeover was making me leak.

When Matt woke up, he was already one of them. He stood up with an emotionless face and stared at his dad and brother; those two still had creepy smiles on their faces; seeing that, Matt also started smiling.

I really don't get the smiling thing, do they think that would make them look more human?

Still smiling, Mr. Bennett raised his right hand and waved at Matt. "Good morning, Matt." He says. It is the first time I hear the alien speak with his vessel, and he sounds just like you would expect: robotic and emotionless.

"God morning Dad," Matt replies, the smile never leaving their faces.

"Did you sleep well, son?" Mr. Bennet asks naturally, as if he isn't naked with his cock throbbing in front of both his sons.

"I slept wonderful, Dad."

"Good morning Matt, did you sleep well, my older brother?" Devon asks, his tone of voice no different than his dad and brother. There is a long silent pause, and then Devon asks again, "Good morning Matt, did you sleep well, my older brother?"

"Good morning younger brother. I slept wonderful," Matt responds and then they just keep smiling at each other like idiots. Everything looks and sounds so creepy and surreal, it's like watching aliens playing with human dolls about how they think human interactions are.

I decide to try something risky, so I step into their circle and the three of them look at me in sync, their blank eyes confused as they tried to study my presence.

I clear my throat and wave at them. "Hi, I'm the neighbor, I'm the one who let those parasitic aliens turn you three into brainless hosts."

"Oh, Welcome neighbor," Mr. Bennett says, waving back at me.

"Good morning Neighbor," Matt says, out of nowhere.

They didn't acknowledge anything I said; It's like they don't understand what I say and just mimic anything they find in their host's memories.

Either way, it was hot to see these three hunks acting like brainless idiots. I pull down my shorts and start jerking off in front of them; as I was expecting, each one started to mimic me. Mr. Bennett is the first to grab his cock and start to stroke, his sons, seeing their dad—leader—start mimicking him. Now, the four of us are jerking off, our strokes are so in sync that it feels like I'm stroking in front of a mirror. They mimicked even my moans, soon I started to cum, and so did they.

"This is going to be so much fun," I moan.

"This is going to be so much fun," they say.

[mostlyinthemorning]

I'm very excited to announce that my second book, Stick Handling, will be released on December 3.

🥅 🥅 🥅

In this novella, the hockey romance of Rachel Reid’s Game Changers meets the fashion world of The Devil Wears Prada. 

For fashion journalist Devon Waters, success brings opportunities to interview the best up-and-coming designers. His interviews showcase new trends and add a much-needed sense of refinement to the pages of Yonge Street magazine—if he does say so himself. 

When an unexpected and unwelcome assignment takes him off the fashion beat and into a world he never imagined—profiling Toronto Tigers hockey star Jamie Bennett—Devon finds himself immediately out of his depth. His inability to understand hockey slang and the play on the ice is one thing. Not knowing what Jamie wants from him is something else entirely. 

Jamie has Devon’s number from the moment they meet. As Jamie forces Devon to reveal parts of himself, he challenges everything Devon knows about what it means to truly get to know someone. But love is for other people and Devon is counting the hours until he can leave the hockey world behind and return to his beloved clothing design studios. 

If Devon hopes to return to the fashion world with his heart intact, he’s going to have to find a way to beat Jamie at his own game. Because falling in love with a hockey player—even one as kind and confident as Jamie—is not an option.

The Hound of the Baskervilles: The Man on the Tor

E. Remington and Sons, founded in 1816, was an American company known for firearms and typewriters, manufacturing the first commercial model of the latter. The typewriter part of the business was sold off in 1886 and via a series of corporate changes, the company is now part of Unisys. Not that it makes typewriters anymore.

The earliest known use of the word "sexy" comes from a letter by Arnold Bennett in 1896.

This is a period where people, especially of class, very much cared about avoiding scandal. A married woman visiting a single man late at night would be a scandal.

At this time Laura Lyons would have to prove that her estranged husband had committed both adultery and abandoned her. Proving the former would usually require a private detective of some form, beyond the means of most people.

A red letter day is one of special significance. In the UK, there are certain days where English High Court judges wear scarlet robes instead of the normal black. This would include religious festivals and the Sovereign's birthdays (official and actual), but I am unable to find an updated official list to reflect the situation with the current King.

Red Letter Days is also the name of a company that sells "experiences" like tank driving days or a cream tea at a posh hotel.

While Franklin possibly isn't aware of it as it was a common turn of phrases, the term "double event" was used in a postcard purporting to be from Jack the Ripper sent the day after that serial killer murdered two women in the space of an hour.

The Court of Queen’s Bench, now the Court of King's Bench, is the division of the High Court dealing with things like personal injury, libel and breach of contract:

Frankland clearly does not remember that you cannot sue the Sovereign. He could sue the Devon County Constabulary though, which has since become the Devon and Cornwall Police.

Tins for food were widespread at this time. They were made of iron, soldered with a tin-lead alloy, which could lead to poisoning by the latter until Max Ams developed a seam in 1888 that only required the solder on the outside.

A pannikin is a metal cup coated in enamel.

"Spartan" means austere. The city state of Sparta in ancient Greece was known, in a rather mythologicalised fashion, for its heavily militarised society, eschewing personal comfort for this. It attracted a lot of admirers as a result, including playing a big part in fascist beliefs. Their reputation for physical prowess has also seen several sports teams adopt their name, like AC Sparta Prague, who dominate the Czech association football game.

There is also of course 300...

Hey. Your stories are incredible and you are one of the only ones to write for Tom Bennett, I would like to request, for Tom Bennett x Reader, where she is a diplomat, and when she arrives in France, they have this mission to get her out of the country, but eventually there are only two left, just some fluff

I wanna be yours

Pairing: Tom Bennett x fem! reader

France is in a state of chaos when Tom awakes from his unconsciousness in a daze. He wasn't supposed to be here. No, he should have been far gone on his way toward England, and yet here he was.

Trapped.

He was tinkering on the idea that being left on that beach would've been a better option than the cage the Nazis had locked them in. But here he was, engaging in Doctor O'Connor's theory--strategy to escape across the peninsula into 'neutral territory'. Tom wasn't entirely confident in the Doctor's plan, nor the people around him. All he knew from the moment he woke was anger and anxiety-possibly even fear. From the first dead body he saw, he had prepared himself for the death surrounding him in this war, and yet, it didn't get any easier facing it first-hand.

The guide led Tom from the hospital in silence, sleuthing around their surroundings before entering a secured building at the end of an alley. A figure opened the door for them, entering the quiet apartment. He glanced around at the small group inside, spotting only two figures in the room. Guila, his guide, spoke in French to the two men while he eyed them.

"Où est l'autre?” (Where is the other?) she asked.

The man gestured to the back room, “Elle est à l'arrière. Accordez-moi un instant.“ (She is in the back. Allow me a moment.)

“What’s going on?”

Guila turned to him, “You won’t be travelling alone to the Embassy.”

“I thought he said this was a test run?”

“It is, but it’s urgent that this one gets to the border with you.” she stated, “They’re tightening security everywhere. We need to get her back home.”

“Her?” he tilted his head forward, glancing at the woman led into the room.

“Merci d'être venue, mademoiselle Guila. J'ai entendu dire que ce plan est expérimental, mais je suis tout de même reconnaissant.“ (Thank you for coming, miss Guila. I heard this plan is experimental, but I'm grateful all the same.)

“Ne me remercie pas tout de suite. Nous devons y aller à pied et ensuite vous serez laissé avec lui jusqu'en Espagne.” (Do not thank me just yet. We have to walk there and then you'll be left with him until Spain.)

Her lips pulled into a smile as she stifled a laugh, glancing at the man in question. Her eyes graced his features, flickering back to the woman as she nodded her head. 

“I suppose we should introduce ourselves.”

Guila turned to him, “This is Tom. Tom, Y/N.”

“You’re a Brit.” he stated, eyeing her up and down.

“Well spotted.” she retorted, “You’re from Manchester.”

He raised his eyebrows, tilting his head, “What gave me away?”

She chuckled, looking at him form between her eyebrows “It’s the attitude.”

“Oh, I’m sure.” he chided, “Obviously from London.”

“I never said I was from London.” her response quick.

“You didn’t have to. What are you doing all the way over here?”

“Same as you, I suppose. Trying to get out.”

“I mean, why’re you here. In Paris?”

Guila cut them off, bringing their attention back to the group as the others halted their conversation “She’s a diplomat.”

He glanced at her again, noting her practiced posture. She spoke French, and noted things around her. “I arrived here two months ago. I’m expected to return in a week’s time, but there’s no telling what will happen if we wait any longer.”

“That’s where you come in.” the man standing next to Y/N spoke up, “Guila can guide you to the border, but from there, you’ll travel to the Embassy. Together.”

“Seems we best get along then.” he said.

Y/N folded her arms, “Course.”

From there onward, each of them would have to find trust in the other- a stranger.

Tom held the door open for her, the pair tiredly making their way to the lodgings provided by the Embassy. Only a few days left until they could reach home. This was the first moment of comfort available to them since the beginning of their journey. 

Tom sighed, dropping himself down to the bed as it jostled slightly at his weight. He felt his face relax as he ran a hand through his blonde hair, tussling it about. Y/N dumped her bag on the floor, shuffling about the room. Her gaze fell to the his closed eyes, noting the fatigue in his features, including the sharp lines of his jawline and his pretty features.

“You know what? You’re almost endearing when you’re half asleep.” She teased, leaning against the headboard.

“Yeah, but I’m more fun when I’m not about to drop any second. You should see me back home. I’m the real life of the town.” 

She chuckled, “I’m sure you’re the centre of attention.”

“What'd you mean?”

“You certainly don’t come across as a quiet person.” she replied as he turned over to meet her gaze.

“Is that a bad thing?”

She hummed, “Not necessarily. Although, it would have been easier on several occasions if you were more discrete.”

Tom paused before shrugging in agreement, flopping back onto the bed, “We got here didn’t we?”

She nodded nonetheless.

“So, what are your plans for when you get back?”

Tom stared at the ceiling, many thoughts running through his head. He knew once he got home, the message waiting for him would be a follow-up tour, another round trip to follow the previous. Tom was afraid of the consequences of deserting. His options were limited within the frame of ally or traitor. The end results were either service, prison, or hanging. He preferred life, no matter the front he put up. 

“I’ll have to go back into service when I return. Dunno’ know where, but I’m sure they’ll find a spot for me.” a sombre tone to his voice.

A silence followed.

“I now understand how frightening it must be.” bringing his gaze to her, “To be afraid of facing death in your final hours. In a place you do not know. I’m sorry you have to go back after what you’ve been through.”

He looked at her, “Can I be honest?”

She nodded.

“I am afraid.” Tom whispered shakily, “The last thing I want to do is go back to that. But I don’t have a choice. We don’t. And no one else is going to fight for us. I realised that after a while. Seeing my mates die.”

A haunted look crossed his face. His blue eyes brimmed with unfallen tears “I don’t want to be afraid in my last hours. I’d rather be spiteful and fight for us than go down in fear of death.”

She breathed, the heavy tone to his words cutting through the room, “You shouldn’t have to.”

“I don’t have a choice. Its either I die in combat, or they kill me for deserting. You tell me which is the lesser of two evils.” he hummed.

Y/N fell silent and Tom accepted that as her final answer before the sheets rustled. She placed herself next to his head, meeting his eyes as they opened. “If you simply accept the boundaries placed around you, you will never progress further than they want you to. That is the first lesson I carry with me every day.”

He searched her eyes, beholding her determination as she continued “You need to understand why you’re here, besides your obligations. Aside from the persistence of your family. I couldn’t stand for the corruption and the impropriety of the politicians in my state, so I took it upon myself to reach out. To learn, and speak the languages of my allies. What better way to resolve problems than by bridging the gap?” she smiled.

“Guess I’m not as determined as you. Don’t think I quite have your passion either.”

“It’s not about either of those things.” she shook her head, “It’s about belief, Tom. If you truly believe in yourself. If you put yourself forward and try, you can do unimaginable things.”

He swallowed, “What makes you think a man like me is capable of anything like that? You don't know me. Not really."

“Because I’ve watched you. How you act. I’ve seen how you talk to people. You notice more than you’re letting on, and you purposefully instigate things for entertainment. Whether that’s to fulfil an inner need for attention, I don’t know. What I do know is, you are much more than you present, Tom Bennett. Use that to your advantage. A wild card is the most useful."

Tom blinked at her in astonishment, perplexed by the woman’s analysis of him.

“I didn’t realise you took interest in me.” he tilted his head.

“You call for attention.”

“In what way?”

She sent him a pointed look, “Everything. Your whole demeanour. Your attitude.” a smile growing on her face.

Her voice grew quieter as he inched closer, “-That smirk.” 

“You like that, do you?” the grin splashed on his face.

“I never said that.” her lips tilting upward in amusement.

“You were going to.” he exhaled, leaning toward her with a hand on the mattress.

“Maybe.” she leaned in, inches away from his mouth “Or maybe you’re just loud. Do you like the sound of your own voice?”

He narrowed his eyes playfully, a quick retort on his lips “Apparently you do.”

“And there’s that too.” she breathed.

“What?” he searched her eyes, his body looming over her’s.

“You’re an incessant flirt.”

“Can’t fix that, I’m afraid.” he shook his head. “Haven’t heard you complaining, though.”

“Confidence can quickly turn to cockiness. Many women find it crude and unattractive.” she was careful with each word.

“And you? What’d you think of me?”

She paused, her mouth agape, “I think you’re overly confident.”

“Erratic.” she met his gaze. 

“Reckless.” laying a hand on his chest, pushing him down.

“And frustrating.” she leaned down, her hands on either side of Tom.

“But...I can work with that.” she murmured against his lips.

Can you give us a rundown on all rockstars black lovers?

I could give a you a few but there was a lot of black lovers back then, it wasn’t too far fetch there was a lot of rockstars who slept with a black woman. I’ll do multiple threads because I sometimes can’t think of all of them. For starters of course, Mick! He’s slept with a bunch of black women, but then again he’s English, he doesn’t care. Cleo was his first love, PP Arnold dated him and gave details about their affair in her book “Soul Survivor”, I’ve heard he’s slept with Inez Foxx from the brother- sister duo, he’s been around Patti Labelle and the BlueBells and I’ve heard rumors about him sleeping with Patti and Cindy Birdsong (before she was a supreme) also read in a book somewhere that Nona Hendryx possibly slept with Keith, he’s gotten with Claudia Lennear from the Ike & Tina Revue, several black models (maybe Donyale Luna she used to do his makeup, Pat Cleveland, I know there’s more but can’t think of them) I know his slept with black groupies Devon Wilson & Winona Williams, Marsha Hunt, Ava Cherry was doing threesome with him and David Bowie, Estelle Bennett from the The Ronettes, and Rae Dawn Chong while they were filming a movie together.
