      Hi, Mink. Happy Birthday!! I wanted to see if you have any updates on the cd. A while back you asked for addresses for the thank you notes. I responded, but haven't heard anything. Do you have an expected release date? Many thanks!!

      Thanks so very much to Mink for the marvelous bonus "Sometimes I Wish I Had A Gun" song download! It merely hints at the delights that will included on her new CD.
      I want to encourage those of you who have already generously backed the project to forward the link to Mink's Kickstarter to other like minded individuals! This campaign is not yet over...

      Dear Mink,
      You, John Waters, Divine and the team have made such a difference in my life. The early films confirmed that I was not the only one out there who was a little off-beat. I mean that in the kindest way. Quoting your best lines gets me through the monotany of the work day. I even named our cats Cotton, Crackers, Dexter and Lulu. Love you and so pleased to be able to help with your project. Kevin

      My donation put you at $12,000 Mink! The best money I ever spent in my life. A measly few bucks to thank you for years of joy. I love you and your gift.

      Creator Mike R on July 8, 2011

      I'm still a broke private school teacher in NYC, but I want to see Mink's project happen, so I upped my donation by $5. Small change to some, but it's what I can afford. Thanks again for writing to me, Mink. You're a wonderful lady and I hope Steve and I can buy you coffee or drinks on "The Avenue" when I move to Baltimore. You rock - enjoy the rain today. :)

      I am indeed proud to be able to help in this small way. I have loved you since Mondo Trasho. I so wish Mr. Waters would finally release all his early early films. He must know his world would love them, in spite of their rough potential. Anyway, looking forward to your cd!

      Your pal,
      Ace Farren Ford

Now in my 40's a are a reminder of good times and dear friends lost and new friends found through the bond we share by our mutual twisted sence of humor.Here's to the future,mink ! The best is yet to come.
