LJ Interests meme results

1. bettie page:
   Beautiful woman who liked to wear little to nothing AND who liked to be tied up -- what's not to like!
2. c.l. moore:
   Wonderful writer of fantasy and science fiction. Very imaginative, mood-driven, emotional stories, written at a time when few women wrote fantasy or science fiction.
3. dashiell hammett:
   The best of all detective story writers, and just one damn fine writer. To paraphrase Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett took murder out of the front parlor and put it back in the alley where it belonged.
4. donald e. westlake:
   The creator of Dortmunder & Kelp, the most determined -- yet not especially competent -- crooks in the history of crookdom.
5. fetish:
   Nothing like getting tied up by a beautiful woman! Rope is good.
6. h.p. lovecraft:
   "In his house at Ry'leh, mighty Cthulhu lies dreaming." In order to pronounce "Cthulhu" properly, by the way, HPL advised saying it in two syllables, spoken with your tongue pressed firmly to the roof of your mouth. That was as close as he could come -- and a darn good try! -- to creating a word that sounded like it was originally spoken by non-human speakers.
7. leigh brackett:
   A writer of terrific pulp science fiction and detective stories, but she was even better at writing movie screenplays, especially for director Howard Hawks. One of the best writers of sparkling, witty, sexy dialogue in the history of film.
8. pinup girls:
   Beautiful women, scantily clad...works for me!
9. science fiction:
   Give me a fast spaceship, a treasure chest of loot, and fame -- and you can keep the loot and the fame. I've been a science fiction reader since I was eight years old, and my addiction shows no sign of slowing down...
10. walter gibson:
    Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows! And so did his raconteur, Walter B. Gibson.
