into a sitcom universe parallel to our
normal existence. The more time you
spend with her, the more the events
around you begin to resemble what you
would previously have imagined to be
contrived and implausible comic
situations only possible within the
laws of a television farce. You may
attempt to escape this universe, but
by that point you've become one of
Mara's "special guests", and the
producers demand your repeated
presence on the show. So you stick
around, because it's funny as hell,
and it's a pretty nice perk to hear
the audience burst into applause
whenever you enter the room.
If a good friend comes to me and
says, "Thank you, Mark, for the
opportunity and continued support in
the friend-related arena, but I've done
that, I wanna better myself, I wanna
move on," then I can make that dream
come true, AKA, for you ... by
recommending Mara as a new friend.

captured my heart. I watched,
dumbfounded, as she clutched the mike
in a seductive death grip, her voice
soaring to the sounds of Hall & Oates,
and I knew without a shadow of a doubt
that I would forever be in this
spitfire's spell. But it was when we
dueted on the immortal "The Girl Is
Mine that my life changed
irrevocably. The crowd was utterly
captivated by the raw, naked emotion
on display during that unforgettably
gripping performance,
Levinsky/McCartney dazzling with an
exquisitely calibrated combination of
lusty verve and British grace. My
Friendster photo was taken in the
heady aftermath of that performance,
and for that I will be eternally
grateful. McCartney, indeed.
Mara. The times we shared--from
giggling about air pollution in the
Baldwin bathroom to karaoke at Vets to
wandering the island of Manhattan
together--were potent, poignant, and
utterly loaded with genius and wit that
any regular schmo simply cannot
fathom. She's on my top five list of
People Who Have Changed My Life, right
between Wesley Willis and Norm Paulin.
was the wild and crazy outgoing girl
anyone would want to know! She was a
continuous party, a comidienne and the
originator of many a good time. Anyone
would be lucky to spend time in Mara's
presence because she makes you smile and
makes you feel like everything's going
to be just super-cool. She's also
brilliant and multi-talented, a great
combination.
of some fabulous Salt n Pepa
renditions, a strange greeting
involving a blank stare and a palm in
the middle of my chest, and a weird
party trick with her breasts. It only
got better from there.
