On Road Rules last night on Mtv, one of the girls, Susie, was in a bar with
this autrailian football player, and she compared him to Davy Jones in a
little interview segment. She said “remember when Marcia was dashed up (i
think that’s what she said) by *Davy Jones* on the Brady Bunch?” i thought
you all might like to know about that little mention =)

At a Keith Haring exhibit in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, I got
to see Keith Haring’s official Monkees fan club card. There was also a
piece of binder paper with two pictures of Davy glued on. At the top, it
said, “I love Davy Jones”. If anyone wants to catch it, the exhibit will
end on Sept. 8, and admission is free on Tuesdays. The mention was in the
very front section of the exhibit.

Not much, but interesting.

Dear Monkee Fans,

I am the author of the book “How To
Be A Working Comic: An Insider’s Guide To A Career In Stand-Up Comedy.”
It may not sound like it fits in with the group, but there is a chapter
you might be interested in.
I interviewed quite a few “big name” acts for the project, (Drew
Carey, Jeff Foxworthy, etc.), but one of my biggest thrills was
interviewing Micky Dolenz. I wrote a section about appearing on
television and the power of sitcoms – and who better to talk with about
the lasting effects than comedian Micky?? Along with a photo I took of
him backstage after a recent concert, the book contains a insightful
interview about The Monkees, their comparisons to The Beatles and The
Marx Brothers, Micky’s thoughts about the past, present and future, info
about his favorite songs to perform, his comfort wearing the “Monkees
hat” and efforts not to be typecast once the series left the air.
If you think fans would like to read this exclusive interview, the
book will be out in mid-September and is currently listed on
Amazon.com. If you’d like to contact me, (I’m typing from a relative’s
house right now), my E-Mail is DSEntertainment@centuryinter.net
Thanks!
Dave Schwensen

Nothing Becomes a Man More Than a Woman’s Face

By NATALIE ANGIER

A timeless movie scene some of us wish we could forget: Leonardo
DiCaprio
climbing to the bowsprit of the “Titanic” and crowing, “I’m the king of
the
world!”

The latest word from scientists: He may have a point.

Or, rather, a fetching bit of roundness.

In a new study of facial attractiveness, researchers from Scotland and
Japan have found that, much to their astonishment, people of both sexes
prefer feminine-looking men over rugged, manly-miened men. When shown a
series of computerized photographs of young men whose images had been
manipulated to make them look either more masculine or more feminine
than
the norm, viewers designated the artificially feminized faces as
somewhat
more attractive than the average faces, and more appealing by far than
the
masculinized versions.

The results, which appeared in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature,
held cross-culturally, whether the faces shown or the people passing
judgment were Japanese or Caucasian.

The scientists had predicted that such traditional hallmarks of male
dominance and maturity as a big jaw, square face, prow nose, and heavy
brow
would prove impressive to men and irresistible to women, who in theory
are
ever on the lookout for their alpha mate. Instead, appraisers seemed
drawn
to a touch of girlishness — slender nose, cupid’s lips, lightened brow,
adorable chin.

In other words, Leo rules! So, too, do the likes of Johnny Depp, Matt
Damon and Ralph Fiennes, and Paul McCartney when his top still mopped,
and
his Monkee clone Davey Jones, and the young Elvis in white and the young
Brando in buff, who were both so pretty you could swear they wore
Maybelline. Far from putting a man at a competitive disadvantage, it
seems,
femininity may be a source of sexual and social strength.

“Our team has been working on this study for four years,” said Ian
Penton-Voak of the University of St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland. “When it
was found early on that there was a preference for feminized male faces,
nobody believed it, so we did it again, and again. The preference for a
feminized face keeps coming up.”

Most recently, he added, “we’ve even replicated this work among
hunter-gatherer tribes in the Amazon.” Penton-Voak, an author of the
report, is a graduate student in the laboratory of Dr. David I. Perrett,
a
professor of psychology.

In the same study, the scientists also found that viewers preferred
ultra-feminized women’s faces over either average female faces or those
that had been slightly masculinized. That result, at least, was in
keeping
with their expectations.

The new report adds to a growing body of evidence that beauty may not
be
restricted to the eyes of a beholder, and that a sense of it may be more
innate and less culturally fungible than people care to believe.

At the same time, the results underscore that the meaning of beauty is
still up for grabs and open to any number of Kiplingesque Just-So
interpretations. Perrett and his colleagues speculate that women might
choose feminine-looking men as their mates because such men give the
appearance of being sensitive, honest and potentially reliable fathers.

“It is quite interesting that people like feminized male faces,” said
Dr.
Stefano Ghirlanda, a zoologist at the University of Stockholm in a
telephone interview. “But the significance of the work is not clear. We
understand so little about what faces mean, or what the information
content
of any particular feature may be.”

In the latest experiment, the researchers started with the assumption
that people would find most appealing those faces that displayed
“sex-appropriate” signs of ostensible genetic and reproductive fitness,
and
that the more obvious the signs, the more attractive the face should be.
Thus, an attractive female face should look unmistakably female, which
means it has been shaped by sufficient stores of estrogen, the principal
hormone of female fertility. Estrogen is thought to help make the bottom
half of the face narrower than the top half, for example, and to make
the
cheeks high and round.

And because female fertility declines sharply with age, female
attractiveness has also been linked to signs of youthfulness, including
wide, bright eyes (the pupils of the eyes shrink with age, the corneas
get
ever cloudier, and the upper lids tend to droop), a small nose (being
cartilage, the nose continues to grow throughout life), and full lips
(lips
lose their connective tissue and thin out over time).

By comparison, the male hormone testosterone is known to enlarge the
jaw
and to thicken the brow and upper bridge of the nose. If a woman is
looking
for a man who is clearly a man and who brims with male hormones, she
theoretically should be drawn to a face with a comparatively square jaw
and
strong brow. In other species, the traits and behaviors that males use
to
attract females, like being able to grow a long, showy tail or to sing a
complex melody, are also under the control of testosterone.

In addition, if a woman is looking for a mature man who hypothetically
has the resources to invest in her and offspring, she should care little
for youthfully full lips or wide eyes.

To test the degree of masculinity or femininity preferred, the
researchers began by making computer composites. For each ethnic group
they
studied, they took photographs of 20 men and 20 women in their early
20’s,
digitized the images and defined 174 salient features — for example,
nose-tip — as “facial landmarks.” Those features were then used to
calculate a single image of an average white man and average white
woman,
or average Japanese man and average Japanese woman.

The scientists defined “masculinity” and “femininity” as the
measurable
ways that the composite images of the two sexes differed from one
another.
“This seemed the best and most logical place to start,” Penton-Voak
said.

A group of 50 students and university staff members in Scotland and a
similar number in Japan served as judges. Sitting at a computer console,
the appraisers could manipulate the images with a mouse, morphing the
pictures in either a more masculine or feminine direction. All the
features
would change simultaneously as the mouse moved, which meant that the
appraisers did not have the option of shaping features to their
particular
liking — say, by enlarging the jaw of the man while keeping his nose
and
brow comparatively slender.

In the end, the judges preferred, on average, significantly feminized
female faces for both sexes. Female faces were rated as most attractive
when they were about 20 percent more feminized than the female norm,
while
male faces were judged most appealing when they were about 15 percent
more
feminine than the standard male composite. Interestingly, when people
were
rating the faces of their own ethnic group, they liked an even greater
degree of feminization of both male and female faces than when they were
ranking the faces of a different ethnic group.

When asked to associate certain characteristics with masculine or
feminine faces, appraisers said that masculinized male faces did look
more
dominant and mature than the average male face, but they also gave the
masculinized faces comparatively lower scores in qualities like warmth,
honesty, emotionality, cooperativeness and parenting abilities. The
feminized male faces were given top ratings when it came to all the
sensitive-guy personality traits.

For the female faces, masculinization also lent the women a look of
comparatively high dominance and low warmth and trustworthiness, while
the
feminized faces ranked high in all aspects of sweetness and light. When
it
came to picking out the aspect of a potentially good mother, though,
appraisers preferred the average female face to that of a feminized
face.

This quirky result raises the question of what, from an evolutionary
perspective, a man is choosing if he designates as highly attractive an
ultra-feminized face that he does not necessarily think belongs to a
woman
capable of rearing his brood.

Indeed, as Ghirlanda and others point out, the results of the new
study
raise at least as many questions as they answer. Dr. Perrett and his
colleagues suggest that the preferences they have detected show there is
a
limit to how sexually distinctive, or dimorphic, the faces of men and
women
can be. In many species, competition between males for the eye of
females
has resulted in profound sexual dimorphism, the most famous example
being
the difference between the ostentatious peacock and the drab peahen.

By the Perrett scenario, social skills like cooperativeness, honesty
and
gentleness proved generically desirable in the early stages of human
evolution. Because such nurturing traits are associated with femaleness
and
juvenileness, the appeal of the feminine, youthful look became
pansexual,
and helped to counter such standard engines of sexual dimorphism as
competition between males.

But as some critics have observed, the Perrett study does not account
for
at least one source of considerable esthetic dimorphism in humans:
facial
hair. None of the men photographed for the study had beards or
mustaches.
The role of facial hair in human evolution, and why men have it while
women
do not, remains a mystery.

In theory, though, prehistoric men had neither the time nor the
wherewithal to shave, and so may have looked as distinct from
prehistoric
women as antlered male elks do from bare-headed does.

The scientific study of beauty is rife with mysteries and
contradictions.
A number of reports have demonstrated that a composite face is usually
deemed more attractive than any one particular face — that is, a
consolidated image of 60 people is voted more attractive than is the
image
of most of the individual members. The classic evolutionary explanation
for
the triumph of the norm is that an average-looking person conveys a
comforting familiarity, and is unlikely to harbor any unusual genetic
mutations.

Yet the exaggerated pretty face has been shown to be favored over the
average. If the faces of the 15 people rated as most attractive of the
original pool of 60 are merged into a composite image, that averaged
face
outranks the first composite.

And if the features of the top-15 composite are then pushed to
extremes,
by raising and emphasizing the cheekbones, for example, the image is
reckoned more beautiful still.

What remains to be understood is why one sort of extreme signal, like
prominent cheekbones, should be considered alluring, while other extreme
features, like a big nose, should be rejected in favor of a mainstream
profile. If the norm is the most likely to be genetically healthy, why
be
drawn to any sign of genetic deviance?

Extreme beauty is not necessarily a sign of superior reproductive
potential. For instance, there is a genetic condition called androgen
insensitivity syndrome, in which a fetus with male chromosomes lacks the
capacity to respond to the male hormones its embryonic testes produce.
As a
result, the fetus’s body develops as female. Girls with the condition
often
grow into unusually beautiful women, with long legs, clear skin, ample
breasts and thick hair; a number of famous models and actresses are
thought
to have androgen insensitivity syndrome. Yet women with A.I.S. lack
normal
reproductive organs and are infertile. By a cold Darwinian reckoning,
their
beauty is deceptive.

And, hey, Leonardo DiCaprio may not be as sweet as he looks, either,
but
do his lusting young fans really care?

I just turned on that new Jeopardy on VH1 — and AS I TURNED IT ON
(flipping channels) there was a question about MICKY!!!

It was something like Ami Dolenz’ dad Micky was drummer on this TV
series. The woman who answered got it right! 🙂

It’s 11 PM Central (it came on VERY early in the show) so it might still
be caught on the West Coast (and if someone does, please write down the
exact wording. I was too busy SCREAMING — seriously AAAAAA!!!!!, to
pay much attention)

Hey Monkee Fans,
I was watching on MTV the show “Ultra Sound”. It was the one about
The Video Music awards: uncensored. So I was watching and They Had 2
really quick clips of the Monkees. One clip they showed them doing a
little dance on stage (soo cute) and the other clip Was a small clip
of them singing I’m a believer( That clip was on the run down of every
band that performed ). I’m not sure when they are gonna have it on
again but they probably will show it again. So look out for it.

Monkee love forever!
Lily

We were digging through my grandma’s attic and I found an old Archie comic
book. In the second section it mentions the Monkees:
(they get thrown out of a small night club)
Veronica: These crumbs don’t know music! Why fool around at the bottom? We
should start at the TOP!
Betty: And how do we perform this miracle?
Veronica: Daddy is a personal friend of DON KIRSHNER!
Jughead: The man with the Golden Ear?
Reggie: He’s the guy who developed THE MONKEES!
Archie: Man, with HIS record of successes HE ought to know music!

Just thought you’d like to see that. I thought it was cute. Tarah, luvs!

Sad news David and Teen Idol fans, I just got word the Aurora, Illinois
concert has been *cancelled*. You may want to call the Paramount about
refunds. The reason given was “scheduling conflicts”.

show has been cancelled. Letters will be sent to all of us who ordered
tickets explaining what we need to do to get our money back.

Greetings, Listers,

Ever read a book called ‘The Secret Language of Relationships’?
Well, I happened to be perusing it on my lunch break today and came
across Mike and Davy’s photographs on page 769? or so. The book
examines relationship types between people based on their respective
dates-of-birth. This particular page explored the relationships between
two people with the same birthday, in this case, December 30.
It was good to see the guys in print but out of the usual context. Check
it out.

. . . I want to create the outline of a shape — let’s say a guitar. Then I
want to take some type — let’s say the word Monkees. Then I want to do
some command that will allow the word Monkees to be changed into the shape
of the guitar. And then I want to be able to tweak the points of the guitar
and the letters will change. (Hey, Hey, We’re the Monkees!) And I want it
to happen without adding a heap of points to the word Monkees. Obviously
someone did this by hand in the sixties. So shouldn’t it be a piece of cake
for Macintosh graphics programs? Should be, but isn’t.

The feature I have described is something called “Enveloping” and the
Monkees logo is a perfect example. (For those of you too young to remember
the Monkees, may I suggest tuning to Nick at Nite.)

I am watching the Journey of Allen Strange on Nickelodeon now (Sept. 16,
8:30pm, EST) and it mentioned Micky!! This guy, the father, was having a
yard sale and was selling a lava lamp. A girl was looking at it and he came
over and said, “That is an authentic lava lamp from the 1960’s, owned by
Micky Dolenz of The Monkees”!!! Pretty kewl, huh?

mention that you would prefer a refund when you call the theater. The phone

Subject: Monkee Mobile Now Available

Ever wanted one of the original Corgi Monkee Mobiles but not wanted to
shell out $200 – $400 for it? Well now you can own a much better version
of the Monkee Mobile produced by Playing Mantis. Playing Mantis is a
company that produces replicas of classic cars and sells them under the
Johnny Lightning brand name.

They have recently released a new line of 1/64th scale (Hotwheels/Matchbox
size) cars from TV shows and Movies of the 60s and 70s. Included in this
line are the Partridge Family Bus, a Dragnet Squad Car, Andy Griffith’s
police cruiser, Starsky and Hutch’s Ford Torino, the Blues Brothers Cars
from both the original movie and Blues Brothers 2000, the Delorean from
Back to the Future, and of course

…The Monkee Mobile!!!

And this is no cheap Corgi knock-off either. This model puts the Corgi
Monkee Mobile to shame. You really have to see it to believe it.

You can either search desperately through Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, Target,
etc… or just go to

http://www.fullgrid.com/johnnylightning/tvmovie.html

and order the full set from them. (Sorry, they don’t sell individual cars
– only complete sets of 8. But who wouldn’t want the Partridge Family
Bus!) I ordered a full set of all eight vehicles.

They also have a cool set of 4 Cartoon Cars that includes Speed Buggy, the
Compact Pussy Cat, the Mean Machine and Barney Rubble’s Sports Car. I also
ordered these @ http://www.fullgrid.com/johnnylightning/cartoon.html

Check it out, but do so quickly. These are not going to last long. And in
about 20 years they may be worth a lot more than their weight in gold.

Peace amigos…………….Gary-O

located on the Videoranch page….

Praise for “The Long Sandy Hair Of Neftoon Zamora,” by other authors.

“This book rises in the imagination like a fantastical building in the
desert. It is an extraordinary assemblage. You simply have no idea what
Nesmith is going to spring on you in the next paragraph–ancient stories,
new wisdom, or a sudden damn good joke, all held together with the rhythm
of prose which flows like music. America may have temporarily mislaid its
soul, but luckily it has been found again and returned intact in the pages
of this remarkable book.”

–Douglas Adams, author of

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

“The Long, Sandy Hair of Neftoon Zamora is a first rate novel, informed
by an imagination that turns the story truly in the direction of myth. To
read it is to be enchanted. To have read it is to be haunted. Michael
Nesmith is accomplished in several worlds. To these accomplishments he now
adds a significant contribution to the world of fiction.”

–N. Scott Momaday, Pulitzer Prize-winning author

“You fear there is no romance left in the world? You fear that the
glorious word ‘love’ no longer means anything other than’sex’? Then you must
read this, Michael Nesmith’s compelling first novel. It is the ultimate
romance, the refreshing balm we need for our utilitarian time; it is just
such an…exquisite… relief”

–Georgie Anne Geyer, author and syndicated columnist,
United Press Syndicate

Hey All!

I was just flipping through my new magizine “Girl’s Life” the October/November
Issue, and I on page 33 there is a small article (quarter of a page) and a
pic drawn by two 13 year old girls. The article says…

“Monkees
Business”

“We know you’re thinking, “How can two girls dig a band from 20 years before
they were born?” Well, The Monkees are four groovy, hip, psycadelic chaps, and
this kind of thing is just “our bag.” Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Mike Nesmith
and Peter Tork are the fab guys who started to stardom by answering an ad. It
asked for “four insane boys ages 17 to 21 for a mod long-haired rock ‘n’ roll
group TV series.” Although The Monkees were created for TV, their music became
a huge hit! “Last Train To Clarksville” and “I’m A Believer” went to No. 1 on
Billboard charts. To become a Believer yourself, check out their albums, such
as Monkees Greatest Hits and Barrel Full of Monkees.
–Anna Lafferre, 13, and Catherine Daniel, 13″

Well, thought you’d like to know! 🙂 Email me if you wanna chat Monkees!

Luv
Sarah

Subject: VH-1 Rock of the Ages.

I’m home from school sick today. I knew the Monkees were coming on VH-1,
so I turned on the TV. Just before the Monkees came on, there was a show
called VH-1 Rock of the Ages. What they did was show different groups of
people certain music videos and asked what they thought of them. One
part of the show they did teen idols. They had a goup of teenage girls
and a goup of mothers asking each group who they thought was the cutest.
One thing they showed was the Monkees “Daydream Believer” music video.
Both groups didn’t think the Monkees were cute. 🙁 Anyways…Just
thought I would share that.

On Tuesday, Sept. 29th, on the local television station KTVU, channel 2, in
Oakland, Calif., Davy Jones appeared on the local morning show for a brief
interview. The interviewer is a local comedian who does the entertainment
features for this local show, which is a little like a local version of the
Today show, (weather, traffic, national and local news, features, interviews,
etc.). Davy was appearing because he was on the cruise ship that the
interviewer, Brian Copeland, was visiting, which was somewhere near New York
City. Brian asked relevant, intelligent questions! He asked about Jimmy
Hendrix, and about the rumor that Charles Manson auditioned. Brian seemed to
know something about the Monkees, there was no talk about “playing your own
instruments.” Davy seemed in a good mood. They talked quite a bit about
Davy’s Broadway appearances, from “Oliver!” to more current, and the
interviewer knew about that. But, it was too short, and Davy and Brian did not
get time to talk about what Davy had been doing this year, or what was coming
up in his future plans. But overall, a good interview.
Thanks! Penny Peck
