200th Post
Time really flies...hard to believe that this is the 200th post already. OK, so I've been slacking off and not posting as much any more...but, still! :)
I spent the weekend working and visiting with my sister. She came home for the weekend...and a family reunion. Needless to say, I'm pooped! Been burning the candle at both ends for a bit too long. Tonight is an early-to-bed night and hopefully with Wednesday off work, I'll catch up on some much needed rest!
The family reunion was at Parker Dam State Park. I took a few pictures that are unloading from my camera right now. Hopefully they'll turn out well and I'll post them shortly!

xpost from SHotD
- is this harassment thoughcannonball1978
- instrmntl0
Is there a way to post the messages to you and other victims anonymously?
- There is power in numbers, so it would be good to have the others agree to anonymously share the harassment somehow.instrmntl
- I think lots of sexual harrassment will end because of this, but also will promotions for women and trust of women will change immensely.robotron3k
- by this, i mean the #MeToo movementrobotron3k
- shellie0
Remeber when i pushed this thread 9 months ago before #metoo? Where's the reckoning in our industry? it's been oddly quiet but they're no better than Hollywood.
- *publishedshellie
- I've questioned whether or not this will trickle-down through other industries outside of Hollywood / Politics (here on QBN)... and got DVed for it...PonyBoy
- ... perhaps because I was specific to the Hip Hop side of the music industry... regardless it's fucking time this shit stopped everywhere.PonyBoy
- man i saw singe xmas party photos that agencies should be ashamed if this year.shellie
- That actually would make a great tumblr page, sketchy agency pics...robotron3k
- What would constitute a "reckoning"? Kinda vague.cannonball1978
- cannon, i'd call a reckoning at this point, just about anyone notable going down. It's just impossible these guys are all angels. All my experiences were inshellie
- ad industry specifically. That's surprising even to me, considering I stated in and now work again on music on the business side with no harassment problems.shellie
- Maaku1
Ask a friend to pay him a visit.
He'll stop.
- come on, just put a potato in his car exhaust.fruitsalad
- microkorg0
Is he CD at the company you work for? or just a company you know of?
Tar and Feather the c*nt!
Start with screenshots of your (and friends) messenger messages from him if you still have them. Make them into posters and stick them around the office and forward them to too with the story behind it.
What a knob and his poor fiancee. She needs to know.
- Im a vendor on record, nor a staff employee. I originally met him at another agency. The world is small. We've crossed like that many times.shellie
- His fisnce couldn't know him very well cos i caught his creep vibe day 1.shellie
- This guy is in LA and you are in NY, do you rely on him for getting projects?robotron3k
- i have never rely on him for projects but I do work for the agency. Most of my ad work comes from LA. Most of my entertainment work comes from NY.shellie
- thats not to say that he couldn't make a fuss and get in the way of contracts I want to bid on. & we haven't been assigned to the same projects but we could.shellie
- There's also the fact that he could be gone in a couple years and get a job at any of the other agencies I work with. We've crossed at other agencies before.shellie
- I'm not going to avoid whole agencies because there's one person I don't like there. That would be foolish and even dumber for my bank account.shellie
- robthelad3
Thi whole thread is fucked up
- Bluejam0
You could try getting into contact with this organisation? They might offer you some advice ...
- Continuity2
So, Shellz, I assume you've slept on the situation ... what're you going to do next?
- Some heavy hooting women in LA have reached out. Im working with them to speak to a lawyer first.shellie
- YeeessssssContinuity
I don't have much to offer on the subject sorry but the back-seat-driver in me says definitely spread the word about him. we can always assist in making it viral as possible.
- set-1
Expose that peice of shit. I know it's a tricky one having the attention put on you for exposing him. Maybe have a friend do it under the guise of you not particularly wanting to...
Fuck him.
- Low life's like that need their comeuppance. To serve them and to protect the harassed. You're in the unique position of being able to provide that comeuppanceset
- Maybe make an anonymous website and invite all involved to contributeset

In regards to bklyndroobek'si comment ^
He's more than likely on the psycho spectrum, If you've seen or read any lectures by Dr Kevin Dutton (oxford uni), you'll see his findings:
Media + Sales = Ad agency = large number of high functioning psychos.
I think all that have worked in the AD and media industry have come across some pretty nasty/creepy fellows who's behaviour has been incomprehensible, when you take on board Dr Kevin Dutton's research it all starts to make sense.
- In one of his lectures he said if you find out that you're married to a psycho, even if they are a high functioning successful person, CEO etc, you should leavefruitsalad
- immediately, and not look back. The condition ultimately means they don't feel emotions like normal people.fruitsalad
- I am a sociopath, I have no feelings, like Dexter. But I do not murder, cos it's bad.robthelad
- cannonball19782
One think I'd be careful about is to be certain that his behavior falls firmly in the workplace harassment bucket before taking him to the mat. That means that you have already communicated CLEARLY to him that you don't want the attention he is giving you, and that he is persisting after you have given him warnings.
Certainy, his behavior is unprofessional in a work place, but if this isn't happening in the work place then make sure you aren't bleeding personal life and professinal life. That means it would be harder for you to repremand him through work if his behavior isn't occurring at work.
I re-read your post and you insinuate two things without providing any information:
1) That his string of messages was gross. Sure. Guys sometimes say gross stuff thinking that it would be recieved well, and it isn't clear that this happened AFTER you told him to stop. Being gross doesn't necessarily mean harassment if he has no notion of how you are taking his advances. Be clear that he belongs in the harassment bucket ABOVE AND BEYOND the "all girls think he is gross" bucket. Although it's slight, there is a difference.
2) You mention that you took steps to protect yourself from physical abuse. Why? Did he physically harm you? Did he cause you to feel you need to do that by saying somethign menacing? Obviously safety is paramount in any situation, but it would be unfair to insinuate that you need to protect yourself from physical harm in the same breath as accusing him of being creepy if the guy isn't actually a physical threat. Be real about this, because if you aren't, you are painting a person as a physical threat when they aren't, and you get things like this thread where you have 20 responses of "OMG are you okay?" When you are clearly a woman capable of handling your shit.
Now, go forth and dish out justice.

LOL.. i thought this thread was going to
Sexual Harassment in Advance
- which, i guess in a way, it was kind of what it was about anyway. Fuck that assclown.. call the cops and get him beat downautoflavour
- pr2-40
Stay out of this. This will only blow up in your face and there is nothing to gain for you other than saving some imagined young women.
People use power to advance in life - that's how the world works. Likewise, others chose to engage with said powers or disengage (with the possibility of losing out as you bring up this possibility yourself). There is nothing you can do other than simply gain more power so his power doesn't affect you.
My ex gf in her youth while inspiring to be an actress was wooed by an Oscar wining director. Sexual things have happened and although the experience has left a mark of disgust in her, she also admitted that she has grown from the encounter. We basically don't know how things turn out until they do happen. We can only presume what might happen to those young naive women but reality it's a bit more complex. You are dealing with adults so let them make their own decisions/mistakes.

IMO this is a tough one. Especially if you no longer work for the company or rely on the company for freelance. Notifying HR is not always the best choice. The point being all employees work for the company and Human Resources IS actually the company. Notifying them put you on the radar more than the guy and they want to protect themselves from lawsuits from you first, not him. So just be aware if you do, as you're going to have to regurgitate all the things he's done over again and send in evidence to the HR dept. All if which would be awkward af. Even if you ask HR for advice on the side, it's still going to be executed as a written complaint. So be aware.
Another thing, if this guy has charge of a big, high level account, and in with the client, you may not have a chance in hell, as it's dollars to the agency and that's what makes the world go around. (IMO, It will be almost impossible if the account is worth multimillion dollars and he goes drinking with the client...)
As he's counting on you to follow the rules and play by his game and it allows him to textually harass you. There are so many ways to get back at him, I think you need to think out of the box... like start a facebook group of mutual friends or have your boyfriend call him, or befriend his girlfriend, stuff like that...
- yeah this...sucks but this.
got a feeling you'll have to go around the houses to get so much dirt on him.
even then..mugwart
- yupmoldero
- my boyfriend offered to reach out to his fiance. i dont know about that. there can be social fallout from such a move.shellie
- & yes this is a big, multi million dollar account and this would be extremely embarrassing. I'm certain there's a pile of women that have the same story.shellie
- i don't stand a chance against their gaggle of lawyers.shellie
- reminds me of that scene in Network "The World is a Business" https://youtu.be/8jI…robotron3k
- This is awful advice. You're telling her to not bother because it might not achieve anything and he's good for bottom line? Really living up to reputation robo.monospaced
- HR is counting on this guy to follow the rules and play the game, and he's not. You should never be afraid to go to HR, and nobody should tell you to be.monospaced
- If anything this allows HR to address the issue and protect themselves from future lawsuits. Don't be bullied by a man into being too scared to speak up.monospaced
- If you go personal on this, contact his family or friends, then he really would have a reason to not take you seriously.monospaced
- I'm telling her to be aware of her outing him IF there is big money involved and i'm suggesting she think outside the box in terms of gaining "revenge"robotron3k
- shellie has to do something but a straight out play which might rock the company. This might have the company protecting itself.
So Shellie has to make sure..mugwart
- ... she is safe before making a move.mugwart
- I feel like you're telling her that she can't trust HR or other authorities, and should do something totally shady, which I personally think is bad advice.monospaced
- Because of the high amount of money involved in the org that allows this asshole to operate like this. Feh.monospaced
- I'm only say be cautions. A lot of peoples experiences with HR is that they protect their company first. As prick is a major player they might try to cover upmugwart
- yeah this...sucks but this.
- bklyndroobeki2
One of the first things that popped into my head, shellie, was possibly mediation (finding a mediator?)...
although by the time I finished reading your post it was kind of sounding to me that this guy actually needs help- definitely displaying psychopath behavior, but I wouldn't rule out a mediator potentially, it might wake him up (and might very well be as effective as a lawyer)
Not certain, but can you get thoughts from freelancers union as well.
Sucks that this is happening, I hope that folks on his social media platforms do call him out on his behavior.
All else fails... I like _niko's advice!
- feel2
sad to read this story Shellie, I work in advertising for years and I see it repeatedly, specially back in Brazil, and it is not something that can be solved just by calling out sexist comments, ad people are like that, i guess inherited from older people in the industry, but this has to stop.
that's a really tough situation when you're a vendor and not inside his working network, otherwise you could just report him to HR and he would face serious trouble.
I've read someone on your FB post saying that you should get in touch with some other woman that works inside his company to help dealing with it, I guess that's a great start
really hope he gets what he deserves and stop with this behavior with other/younger woman.
just wanted to add that no, you're not getting a stained name for doing it, it is your right to point out this situation
and if so, you're only filtering out horrible people from getting your amazing work talent
you don't need them, they need you, your expertise and talent, not the other way around, they're not the last company in the world
so just keep that in mind, that your work is valuable and appreciated <3
- mugwart0
From my experience with a friend, HR couldn't do anything as the communications were not via work channels (aka in work place, work email etc). There is so many procedures that they have to follow, and are their to protect the firms reputation.
Maybe talk to them off the record without telling names first.
That said you much follow your heart and do what you think is right. Ive seen sexism on both sides and its a fucking disgrace.
I'd get the other girls together collate all the messages of communications and track his finance down. She has to know at least. This could be done anonymously as well. Once this has done the damage I would then move into the firm.
Another thing to take into account is how protected he is with this firm, i call it the funny handshake. (I'm from an old uk family so i say it a lot growing up.) be he one or not - he sounds very protected by the firm.
I have seen a lot of weird shit in my time so above all make sure your extremely paranoid and cover all your bases before you make your play.
Let us know if you need help.
Another idea is to go on the dark web and get a hacker. get as much dirt on him as possible. then take it to him and ask him to stop.
- a friend of mine won a harassment settlement over events that happened after hours in person. i don't think it matters what means of communication.sarahfailin
- Good for her. This might be an UK thing not sure.mugwart

Explorer, fur trader, and mapmaker David Thompson was a pivotal figure in the early exploration of Canada and the Northwestern United States and is considered by many as "the greatest North American land geographer of his time." Thompson and his party were the first Europeans to travel the full length of the Columbia River.
KSPS's Uncharted Territory explores Thompson's relationships with Native peoples of Canada and North America and sheds light on his dynamic accomplishments as explorer, astronomer, surveyor, and mapmaker. The documentary focuses on the years 1800-1812—the time period that he explored the Kootenai area of Alberta, south through the Inland Northwest and down the Columbia River to the pacific.
Help students use primary and secondary sources to gain a deeper understanding of David Thompson's explorations and contributions with these video segments and accompanying learning guide. Visit KSPS Education for additonal educator resources.

3 High Protein Foods that will Help you Lose Weight
The consumption of protein plays a major role in boosting the weight loss process. Foods that are rich in protein can make you lose weight since they increase your energy levels and prevent you from having any food cravings.
High Protein Foods
High-protein foods will help you to improve your metabolism, to feel satisfied for a long period of time, and to build lean muscles. Here are some of the best protein foods that will make you lose weight in no time.
Quinoa is one of the greatest sources of protein. Only one cup of cooked quinoa contains 8 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber.
These two nutrients are effective in satisfying your hunger for a long period of time, which makes quinoa a perfect choice for your breakfast. By consuming this food in the morning, you will eat less throughout the rest of the day.
Chia Seeds
The chia seeds are about 14% protein, which is extremely high compared to most of the plants. Due to their high amount of protein, these seeds have an ability to reduce your appetite and to make you lose weight. They are also high in fiber which is essential for improving your digestive system.
Yogurt is one of the best foods that can make you lose weight. The yogurt is very high in protein. However, the protein content varies depending on the brand. The Greek yogurt is one of the greatest sources of protein, containing up to 20 grams per container.
In order to lose weight, you should consume yogurt with fruits and nuts for breakfast. This breakfast will prevent you from having any food cravings in the rest of the day.

Will you take me as I am? I wouldn't take myself but God would.To be honest with myself, I was in a state of shock when I heard this question and failed to ask myself whenever I pray:" Will you take me as I am? ". It seriously made an impact on how I really thought and still think of God and how merciful he is. I didn't understand the song at first and didn't even think the song was Christian! Now, I see Him in a new light that I failed to see before.
I can relate to this in many ways considering my life was never lollipops and gumdrops. This made me think about how I would first try to fix things on my own before even considering God could help me however I go to him. I thought my problems and troubles were too insignificant for the Almighty God who freed the Israelites from Egypt. I thought I needed to be "decent" before approaching him. Boy was I wrong.
What I thought was right was the complete opposite of what I should have done. Instead of staying up every night thinking of how I could resolve my own problems, I needed to ask him a simple question: Will you take me as I am? Who knew these seven words would bring me peace of mind, soul, and spirit? I was shocked at the fact that this question's answer was so simple. God always will take us however we are and helps us change from the inside out.
Upon hearing whether God would take me, I sighted in relief. After hearing he would, the smile on my face became visible and grew a mile wide. I was happy God would accept a piece of trash like me and turn me into a piece of art. My expectations weren't high but my joy skyrocketed. Those four to five minutes of music and lyrics changed my mood from majorly let down to happy and at peace.

Not what I anticipated. I love this picture, Island Splendor, for it's informal hominess, colors, and style. I chose to order it on a metal backing. The picture is printed well, it's easy to hang, it looks sturdy, it was very well packed, and arrived in a few days after I ordered it. However, I do not like that shiny glass look of it at all, and I would never order metal again. This result looks nothing at all like metal! I chose not to return it, though I am not certain what use I will make of it. Because the quality itself is good and I have ordered three other times with good results I gave this 4 stars.

Michael Vires was born in Lexington, Kentucky, in 1947. He had been drawing since childhood but it was during that last summer spent in his hometown, before entering the US Army in 1967, when he met Alfred Domene, a Master Portrait Painter whose studio was in Lexington, when Michael knew he wanted to be a professional artist. The figures in Mr. Domene's paintings seemed to be breathing. They went beyond realism. They were life-like. When I saw what could be done with paint and canvas, I knew then what I wanted to do with my art. Michael Vires is a self-taught painter whose experience spans over half a century. His work is realistic, yet the influences of the Impressionists are very evident. Although Michael has been accepted in...

Rhizome: Creative Art Symposium
The blurb described it as a 'knowledge sharing day' for anyone and everyone in the creative industry but it smelt suspiciously of networking. I probably wouldn't have gone except that I was part of the program –pitching for the Brisbane City Council Creative Innovation award.
It turned out to be both a lovely and terrible day. Terrible because I didn't win the $25 000 award but lovely because the whole day gave me a much needed retreat.
The knowledge sharing component of the day was creative business 101 – how to use social media, who is your audience, how to write grants. It would have been fantastic for the students of my industry research course that I'm teaching at Griffith Film School but there was not enough specialist knowledge for anyone above emerging level. Despite this, I loved catching up with other artworkers and artists around Brisbane.
These are the people who don't follow a traditional route – if such a term even applies for anyone embarking on an artistic career. Going through an animation degree, the focus was on studios – getting into a studio, making films in a studio, doing commercial work in a studio. We weren't really encouraged to explore alternative models – or the possibility that it was enough to want to know about an art form because you love it without having to practice in it. These artworkers and artists wear many hats. They are filmmaker/ producer, digital/ traditional painter, author/ publisher, curator/ artist. Hardly anyone worked exclusively for one studio. Some had weaved their way into niche marketplaces with the help of online platforms, something that had been impossible ten years ago. Some worked as embedded creatives in other industries. Some worked in completely unrelated fields to finance their art projects. These people spoke cheerfully about their practice. There was no wistfulness, no plan to someday have a self-sustaining art practice. To them, their plan was to support their art practice through other skills. It was worth it to maintain 100% creative control. Everyone spoke about creativity as their way of being. There was none of that cynicism of worn-down artists. Of course, the next day when we all went back to our respective workplace, it may have been a different story but for that one day, it was wonderful to have a retreat, to talk shop with fellow artists and remember why we disobeyed our parents and went to art school.

Henry Street Settlement opens doors of opportunity for Lower East Side residents and other New Yorkers through social services, arts, and health care programs.
Our History
Historical Highlights
This timeline provides an overview for the first 122 years of the Henry Street Settlement's history.
Lillian Wald "settles in" on the Lower East Side to care for the poor. Wald's philosophy establishes Henry Street as a national leader in service to children, families, and the poor.
Wald moves to 265 Henry Street during the summer. The building is a gift from Jacob Schiff, who purchased the property earlier that spring and arranged for its repair and furnishing.
The Settlement adds buildings at 299, 301, and 303 Henry Street, which includes a gymnasium.
The Settlement opens one of New York City's earliest playgrounds in Henry Street's backyard to provide a safe environment for children forced to play in crowded and unsafe city streets.
The salary for the first public school nurse in New York City is paid by Henry Street. Her success prompts the Board of Education to appoint nurses in schools.
The Settlement opens its first summer camps: Camp Henry for boys and Echo Hill Farm for girls.
The Lewisohn sisters build The Neighborhood Playhouse, one of the first "Little Theaters" in New York City. Between 1915 and 1927, the theater presents plays by Shaw, Joyce, and Dunsany. Now called the Harry De Jur Playhouse, the theater continues to showcase many Settlement arts programs.
The Henry Street Music School opens. Through the years it has hosted and produced hundreds of concerts and operas and trained thousands of musicians.
Lillian Wald retires and becomes Director Emeritus of Henry Street Settlement.
Helen Hall, former Director of the University Settlement in Philadelphia, succeeds Lillian Wald as Director.
To combat the loan shark racket, Settlement members start the Credit Union. Over the years, neighborhood residents received over $3 million in loans.
The Homeplanning Workshop is founded to help residents of the newly built Vladeck Housing projects and other community members repair furniture and appliances, make clothes, and mend shoes. One of the earliest programs in a public housing facility in New York City, the Workshop continues to serve the neighborhood today.
The Visiting Nurse Service of the Settlement separates from Henry Street to become the Visiting Nurse Service of New York.
Now called the Community Consultation Center (CCC), Henry Street's Mental Hygiene Clinic, one of the first of its kind in the country, is founded to bring psychiatric help to the community. The CCC currently serves more than 500 people each year.
Henry Street alumni create the Good Companions Senior Program in order to provide companionship and activities for the elderly. In 1967, the program becomes a Federal Government pilot project to determine the effectiveness of multipurpose senior centers. As a result of the project, federal legislation is passed to fund nutrition centers for the elderly throughout the country.
On May 30, a 23-year-old choreographer presented the first public performance of his choreography at Henry Street, a dance called Jack and the Beanstalk. That choreographer was Paul Taylor, the youngest member of the pantheon that created American modern dance, and one of history's most celebrated artists.
Henry Street helps create the experimental Mobilization for Youth, which brings together Lower East Side resources to attack juvenile delinquency. It provides the foundation for future federal poverty programs during the 1960s.
Operation Athlete is founded. The program helps young men and women enter college through academic preparation and access to athletic scholarships. Since its inception, more than 1,000 young people have participated in the program.
In order to learn about urban issues, United Parcel Service (UPS) managers from across the country begin to live and work at the Settlement through the UPS Community Internship Program. The Program celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 1992.

Jack Benny acts as master of ceremonies in an evening which features such guests as Red Buttons, Johnny Carson, Warren Beatty, Julie Stein and Senator Jacob Javits.
The Pioneer Counselor in Training Program is founded at Camp Henry, an all boys camp. Leadership, community service, and job training skills are taught as part of a year-round comprehensive youth development program.

The New Federal Theatre (NFT) was founded by Woodie King, Jr., originally funded by the Henry Street Settlement along with a small grant from the New York State Council on the Arts. The theatre's first season was launched in the basement of St. Augustine's Church on Henry Street, where its administrative offices remain today.
The Urban Family Center, one of the first transitional housing facilities for homeless families, is founded. To date, it has helped more than 5,000 families to move into permanent housing.
Dedication of the Arts for Living Center (now called the Louis Abrons Arts Center.) First Lady Betty Ford, Mayor Abraham Beame, former Mayor Robert F. Wagner, and the National Endowment for the Arts Chair Nancy Hanks attend. The Center is one of the first arts facilities in the nation designed for a predominantly low-income population.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Cal Ripken and Mark Rypien share more than similar last names. Each had a career year in 1991, only to slump horribly in '92. Ripken failed to redeem himself in the Orioles' stretch drive. Now, with the Redskins in the playoffs, Rypien gets his chance.
As with Ripken, there is a litany of explanations for Rypien's sudden decline, some more legitimate than others. The bottom line, however, is that Rypien must play a big game today against the Minnesota Vikings -- for the Redskins' sake, and his own.
Rypien signed a three-year contract for a reported $9 million after holding out in training camp last August, but that doesn't necessarily cement his future in Washington. This isn't baseball, where free agents receive five-year deals and are set for life.

According to various sources, an actress who is known for playing a character in the television series "Quantico," has filed a lawsuit against two drivers and two California state agencies over a three car accident that happened last February in Los Angeles. One of the cars involved in the wreck was a state emergency vehicle.
The actress reportedly claims that she lost a significant amount in potential compensation due to the ordeal while she was riding in an Uber driven car. According to the suit, the actress is not suing the driver of the Uber vehicle that she was riding in.
According to the California Highway Patrol accident report, one of the officers at the scene found the driver of the non-emergency vehicle to be at fault. The report stated the determination was made that the first driver made an improper lane change which then forced the ambulance to swerve into the lane that the actress was riding in.

"We — the Gypsies" is one of the most famous performances of the theatre "Romen", which for more than forty years, is sold out. This season romanovtsy celebrated a kind of jubilee — the legendary performance was presented to the audience 2222 times.
Photo: courtesy of the press service of the theater
Initially, the authors — founder of the theater of Ivan ROM-Lebedev and art Director Nikolai Slichenko — defined the genre of the play "We — the Gypsies" as a musical folk show, because in 1976 the terms "musical show" and "fantasy" is still used. The performance, which still is the hallmark of the "Romen" theatre call "a musical chronicle of the authentic Gypsy art", showing the path of the Romani people from Ancient India and Egypt to find a second homeland in Russia. The main thing here is not the plot, and the riot of variegated national culture: the rhythms, the passionate songs and dances. In creating the performance was attended by renowned set designer Sergey Barkhin, fashion designer Vyacheslav Zaitsev. In the production of all troupe of theatre led with the same artistic Director, people's artist of the USSR Nikolai Slichenko, whose output in the final invariably causes a storm of applause. Play "We are Gypsies", the theatre has successfully toured all over the world. The artists shared their memories of the first trips to Japan, America, India, and Europe.
Nikolai Slichenko, people's artist of USSR: "We were invited to many countries, but it so happened that the first foreign tour was to Japan. It was the beginning of 80-ies, when the border produced only the most trustworthy. It was necessary to represent their homeland. And I have for each artist vouched his head and a membership card. We were received very warmly…"
"…In Japan there is a custom of gratitude, of admiration women bestow their fan — supports the national actress of Russia Irina Nekrasova. — Now, Japanese women after the speech of Nikolai went, put on the stage at his feet fans. And yet it was sudden when we came out with the song "On a position the girl saw off the fighter", and found that there is a Japanese song to the same tune. The audience started to sing along, and we didn't even know about what they sing. Comical scenes in Japan were many. We did not know the language at all."
Raisa Dement, the national actress of Russia: "One of our artists saw in the window of cute costumes for her husband. Went and looked at that, the size of the estimate. And the seller mutters something, bows. Difficult to understand — not a shop it was, and dry cleaning…"
Tatyana Repina, the honoured artist of Russia: "We are very proud that we were chosen to represent the country, to show a new audience their art as part of the great Russian culture. When in Japan on the opening days of the USSR sounded the anthem of the Soviet Union, some even had difficulty holding back tears of excitement… And after the performances we turned into kids on vacation with us just to buy, to eat, to watch. We Japanese have learned that such a place in one shop and the whole troupe lined up to the counter for something delicious."
George Pearl, people's artist of Russia: "But at the end of the trip home. Already passed the customs control on the ferry which we will take back home, Katya (Ekaterina Zhemchuzhnaya, people's artist of Russia) found that she had left the money unspent. I was happy, will sail like the people in the bar look. But the wife escaped from the ferry on to another ladder and went shopping. Bought it, as it turned out, the tea set and for me petrol lighter, very precious in those days. And I sat there wondering how she can get back on the ferry without documents. I was worried for nothing, somehow contrived, as only a Gypsy can."
Nikolay Lekarev, honored artist of Russia: "On tour in the Indian Calcutta in the hall were very poor, but they found the time to come to our concert. And we have trouble: George costumes got under the shower, and had to semi-wet to go on stage. It seemed to us, that the Indians perceived our performance without proper enthusiasm and then Nikolai quietly ordered, and we began to play hits from Indian films, since they knew by heart the whole country. The hall exulted".
George Pearl, people's artist of Russia: "For us, everything was amazing and we were surprised. I'm in Rome aroused the keen interest of the police, and ordinary passers-by turned around. It turned out, I was like al Pacino in the godfather. Had me at makeup "disguise" to stop this outrage."
Moses Oglu, people's artist of Russia: "I was in America a difficult period, when the scene could throw a firecracker. Police held a cordon. And after the concert, I hear my name from the audience go, "mo, Mose!". Turns out my old friend who in his youth went into exile. Barely convinced the police my Papucho miss. In new York we were convinced that the nostalgia for the Motherland is a horrible thing. Sing about our birch trees, and grown men wiping tears, could not they then, from their great exile back to Russia to return. Went to all our shows."
