Questions for Susanna Lo

I put up this part for questions to Susanna.

411 on "Manson Girls" by Susanna Lo

Unlike other blogs, I go one step further for you.  I spoke with Robert Hendrickson personally about his new book due out soon.  I posted that interview here.

Earlier today I spoke with Susanna Lo.  Got a really good low down on the Manson Girls movie.  It begins filming  in L.A. April 2011.


Things you wanted to know from Susanna Lo.  I posted the best parts for everyone.



Hi Liz,   The thing I want to point out the most is that Manson Girls is not the same project that Matthew Bright and Lindsay Lohan was attached to. I wrote this script over four years ago. My script doesn't deal with Nancy Pittman at all. It takes place during the girls' teenage years and follows several of them to Spahn Ranch and ends a minute before the Tate/LaBianca murders. I was much more fascinated with telling the girls' story, and not Manson's or Bugliosi's stories. I wanted to know how so many young girls were seduced into this situation and why.


FYI: Associated Press has invited me and the actors in Manson Girls for a Press Conference/Launch Event at The Gibson Guitar Lodge during the Sundance Film Festival, on January 24th. They'll be streaming the conference live on AP Live and Warner Brothers Music site. And a couple of The Doobie Brothers will be performing original music they wrote for Manson Girls. So you can also find out what the actors involved have to say about the project.

I will be keeping in contact with her as things progress.  Any questions you want me to ask her?   I set up a section for that.

Why have a blog if all you are going to do is copy articles?
I prefer to write my own article. I in my slippers, take you one step further.

The Colonel must be on a hiatus with his supermodel wife.
Last time I talked to him was at the Xmas eve party.  He will have a big Monkeyboy surprise when he returns.  I am very surprised I have not heard from Col.  Last I knew according to Monkeyboy-  I follow the Col's orders.  Colonel if you are reading this, I am sitting here with my thumb up my ass not knowing what to do. (ST is next to me with his hand "you know where") Please call me.  I'm helpless without you. Just tell me to stop and I will I promise. Did I mention Monkeyboy wants to shove a banana up your ass?  The Colonel is "my Charlie"  I follow his orders!

The "catbox" forum battened down their hatches.
And if you like to go to the "catbox" better use a different screen name over HERE.  Someone from there has nothing better to do then watch here for new members, run back to
the "catbox" and block their defectors.  Who really wants to look at old yellowed newspaper clippings anyway???

Ha ha. But we are the idiots!!! Article from

Manson Case File The faked envelope (2007) In 2006 Van Houten received a one year denial, which means that the next year the parole will seriously consider release. This no doubt unnerved some people who would rather see Van Houten remain behind bars. One of the people who came out of the woodworks in a desperate attempt to twart Van Houten's parole chances was a man by the name of James D. Robinson. This character had been haunting Manson Family related forums, blogs and discussion groups for a couple of year already and had quite a reputation online (not a very positive one). Initially he professed his love for Susan Atkins, but after repeatedly being told that Atkins was happily married to James Whitehouse he suddenly got a change of heart: Leslie Van Houten was no doubt the love of his life. People on the internet were already wary of this person but apparently Deputy DA Patrick Sequira of the Los Angeles District Attorney thought there was truth to Robinson's statements about being in love with Van Houten and visiting her at the C.I.W. prison in the summer of 2005. He never backed up his claims with facts or evidence but that didn't seem to bother Mr Sequiera: he had the ammo he needed to shoot Van Houten's parole chance down. And so it happened that during the 2007 parole hearing of Leslie Van Houten an innocent-looking letter becames the subject of a battle between Deputy DA Sequiera and attorney Christie Webb, the latter getting so angry she left the boardroom for a short while. Mr Sequiera compared Mr Robinson to the coke-sniffing ex-con Bill Cywin, Van Houten's ex-husband, and claimed that Van Houten kept on associating herself with bad men. Miss Webb retorted she would like to see evidence of that because Van Houten didn't know that Robinson person and he certainly never visited her in prison. No proof was given and none was needed: the damage had already been done. Van Houten received a two-year denial and it doesn't appears she'll be going anywhere anytime soon. After the hearing there was some buzz on the internet, mostly with James Robinson as the butt of countless jokes because Van Houten didn't acknowledge his relationship with her. Athough anybody who would claim Van Houten was his girlfriend would receive an angry e-mail that he was not her boyfriend although he did propose marriage to her and she said no and he loves her very much and... Well, the rambling went on for another four paragraphs and didn't do anything to clear up the matter. Robinson "retaliated' with angry forum posts about how he was going to sue Christie Webb for lying about his visit (Mr Sequiera comparing him to a drug addicted ex-con isn't so bad apparently) but that lawsuit still has to happen. He realized that people would demand him to prove he was telling the truth. So he started up Photoshop and came up with this beautiful creation: (pic no longer posted)

Tuedays w/ T.J.

With all the excitement I almost forgot. T.J with one of his sisters and a few of his kids.

Re Cap

So lets go over the holiday activities shall we?   Matt & I threw the best Xmas ever party ever with all our recent  "M" pictures and blog members a plenty here in Connecticut.
It was a small c-word festival as well.  I the American c, was joined by Alice the British c.  She flew over from "across the pond" for the c/Christmas festival.
We we're all shocked when The Col graced us with his presence (he really is NOT Don Murphy) and guess who he had with him?  Nancy Monfort. She said being the holidays and all, she forgives me. 
And Saint-dear Saint-he was in charge of blog moderation during the festival and - he can type like a mofo with his d*ck in his hand.  Tom was there, being ever the gentleman defender he is.  Hippie Chick worked karaoke and we all sang songs from the "Lie" album.  Thelma and Louise graced us with their presences and they actually brought Brad Pitt.  I bet Angie was pissed.

As midnight approached the house phone rang.  It was Charlie.  Apparently he got the new cell phone Candy and Nuts sent him for Xmas.  He asked if  "we had Prince Albert in a can."  Silly old man.  After the clock struck midnight Shawn read passages from Helter Skelter.  Maybe The Bug was right?  Same time and place next Xmas everyone???

leslie lies

Leslie down plays her involvement or changes the story for every hearing and , refuses to accept blame. She continues to make bad choices in her incarcerated life. She married a William Cywin November 18, 1981. Cywin was no angel himself , he had previously served time for embezzlement, drug charges and grand theft auto. Leslie was said to be aware of his criminal past but married him anyway. She probably figured she could change, maybe he could too. In early 1983 Cywin was again arrested for stealing a car. A search of his home yielded small quantities of weed and cocaine and, a CA woman's prision guard uniform. She later divorced him. Various parole hearing quotes from the ever changing Leslie- from her parole hearings. First trial (not sure of the date) Leslie- "I had a knife and Patricia had a knife. We just started stabbing and cutting up the lady." Question from Board Member- "Did you stab Mrs. Labianca after she appeared to be dead?" Leslie response-"I don't know if it was before or after she was dead, but I stabbed her. I don't know if she was dead. She was lying there on the floor." Board Member- "Had you stabbed her before you saw her lying on the floor?" Leslie- "I don't remember." Second Parole Hearing. I don't have the exact date. Leslie- "I stabbed Mrs. LaBianca between 10- 20 times." 1989 Parole Hearing- Leslie "I stabbed Mrs. LaBianca 16 times." 1993 Parole Hearing-Leslie "I stabbed her numerous times." 2004 Parloe Hearing-Leslie "I had stabbed Mrs. LaBianca between 14 and 16 times"............"When Tex handed me the knife, I knew he wanted me to do something, and at that moment I lost all sense of my humanity. I couldn't stop."

"Squeaky" Fromme sentenced to life

A federal jury in Sacramento, California, sentences Lynette Alice Fromme, also known as "Squeaky" Fromme, to life in prison for her attempted assassination of President Gerald R. Ford.
On September 5, a Secret Service agent wrested a semi-automatic .45-caliber pistol from Fromme, who brandished the weapon during a public appearance of President Ford in Sacramento. "Squeaky" Fromme, a follower of incarcerated cult leader Charles Manson, was pointing the loaded gun at the president when the Secret Service agent grabbed it.
Seventeen days later, Ford escaped injury in another assassination attempt when 45-year-old Sara Jane Moore fired a revolver at him. Moore, a leftist radical who once served as an informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, had a history of mental illness. She was arrested at the scene, convicted, and sentenced to life.
In trial, Fromme pleaded not guilty to the "attempted assassination of a president" charge, arguing that although her gun contained bullets, it had not been cocked, and therefore she had not actually intended to shoot the president. She was convicted, sentenced to life in prison, and sent to the Alderson Federal Correctional Institution in West Virginia.
Fromme remained a dedicated disciple of Charles Manson and in December 1987 escaped from Alderson Prison after she heard that Manson, also imprisoned, had cancer. After 40 hours roaming the rugged West Virginia hills, she was caught on Christmas Day, about two miles from the prison. Five years were added to her life sentence for the escape.
