Jolenta the beautiful via Talos

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Very interesting, thank you.  I had remembered the "adornments" Talos had  
made to Jolenta.  It had always seemed to me that a good deal of her 
attractiveness came from the confidence that she gained under Talos.  Why?  
I well remember stories of a young and slightly mousy looking lady bundled 
up in loose clothes going up to people on the streets of New York City and 
asking, "Would you like to meet Marilyn Monroe?"  And if the answer was yes, 
  throwing back her hood and turning on her persona with a big smile.  This 
was while Norma Jean was studying with Lee Strasberg.

With her Sun(Talos)  leaving her, there was no energy left for her to 
"shower?" on the rest of the world.
