Siblings bling

STEP SIBS
BROTHER & SISTER
Judy and Joe

I lived for the both of them... they were soo cool and beautiful too.
Judy was my favorite

Joseph was jealous of me.
Joseph was the fuck up.
Dropped out of HS.
Stole and wrecked my dad beloved maroon Lincoln Conti with cream leather interior. The disco car!
Joined the Marines, dishonorablely discharged.
Constantly harassing me.
The type to make fun of me for wearing a skinny tie and Capezio's, then buy the same outfit a week later.
The type to ridicule me for listening to "the Pretenders" and "the B52's" then steal my albums days later.
But everyone has fights and problems with their siblings, its part of the deal right?
WRONG!
Enter COCAINE...
To twist things out of control..

But wait... before we go there...

My sister was a full blown Junkie!
A junkie ever since her early 20's til her early 40's
So my bro is a cocaine FIEND and my sis is a junkie.
My sister was banned from the house, but always lingered around the property in a tattered (real mink) fur coat, cat eye glasses, and tights and combat boots. Her stlye was very ahead of her time. Everyone thought she was crazy. I didn't, I understood her genius. She would always throw rocks at my window and I'd come out to greet her, she always make me feel special. I hated when she nodded out, not too frequent tho. At night I make sure my parents were asleep, and when the coast was clear I'd get her a towel and prepare her a Rum & Coke and she's quietly sit on a float on the pool for hours. She'd always bring me something like a DEVO 45, Plasmatics tee's, and elephant hair braclets.
My dad and her mom tried to get her into rehab, and after the 5th attempt it worked. I'll never forget that drive up to somewere in NJ I was like 21 and, I was a bit of a baset case because the ride was almost the same route as my boarding school. My dad knew was up with me and told me in a sweet but stern way that "its not about you today"... I understood.
Judy puked the whole ride up.
Thats the first time I saw bile..
When we got there (rehab) the first thing that came into view was this woman walking all wobbly, and she must of had like 10 colored wires coming out of her head with a dude holding this box with a big knob.
I said " see what you have to go through now"
we all laughed really hard.

I love going to the movies..
I loved going to horror movie (still do)...
I LOVED Brian De Palma (still do)
So when the movie "Dressed to Kill" came out I had to see it.
I was 14.
My brother took me.
He did coke on the the bus ride there / he did coke in the movie theatre bathroom ( I stood guard at the stall) / He did coke on the arm rest during the movie.
He made a scene cause I told him to stop (people knew!) he yelled at me during the movie.
We were kicked out.
I was mortified!

It amazes me that I'm not an addict.
well..
I suppose I do shop alot..
But I'm so happy I did not inherit that gene!

Joe Jr was slick..
He knew that!
He was hot too. (Oh stop, I can say that)
He looked like a cuter young Al Pacino
And a body to kill for.
He always played baseball & basketball.
He was a great salesman. He could talk you into or out of ANYTHING!

He faked his way out of High School / The Marines / An Engagement (the the nicest girl in the WORLD) / and so many other things.

Joe jr Worked at Gigi Honee as The Director of Marketing, he didn't know what the fuck he was doing...
He advertised the product (which was and still is The #1 PROFESSIONAL dipilitory product) (key word professional)(that means it should be done by a professional) in Vogue and Rolling Stone. It was sooo expensive. It did nothing for the company.
My dad wanted Joe Jr to go to Business school.
That was the end of the end.....

During the last weekshttp://www2.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif my brother was in the marines, he met this woman.
Through a chatline!
Ellen
Now Ellen Colombo
She wrote a book on Windows 95.
She was from California, and was like soo tubular.. really
What a juxti ! (I want to spell it like that Chad OK!!!)
But they BOTH loved the COCAINE...
They have alot of money now
!!!

So when my dad asked Joe Jr to go to business school he disapeared for like a week....
THEN.

He called to have a meeting with my dad.
The day of that meeting I was with my dad as he bought a new tiny Mercedes Benz (for my mom) (I hated that car but that soundsystem was BANGIN").
so the both of us drive over, dad was so excited to show off the car. Riverview, College Point Queens...A.K.A Ratsview (built on a dump / plagued by rodents)
GOOD!
So he went in , I was ihttp://www2.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifn the car.
I heard screaming
I didn't know who was screaming, they both sounded alike.
I closed all the windows and popped in Soft Cell - Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret casette, and blasted
If you know the album it starts out with a song Frustation,,


It was a horrible yet magical moment..
I felt as if the song was speaking to me.. It was a moment of realization, of change.

I saw that he was coming back just as Tainted Love started to play.
I knew somethin was wrong, I never saw that look on his face. They obviously had wrestled.
that was the first and last time my dad cried in my arms, talking and sobbing. "he never wants to see me again" "he said I was the worst father" "he said I was a joke.. am I a joke Pauly?" "no you're not daddy" I said.
I hugged him for a long time and wiped his tears.
They never spoke again.
Everyone said it was Ellen.
Who cares..
They both were all coked out and TACKY!

Judy cleaned up...
But never was right after rehab..
A verry sad soul she turned out to be.
She lived at the Greystone Hotel at W91st for the longest time.
In the smallest studio room ever...
I visited her every week, and she'd cook and complain. She was a great italian cook (something the Colombo's do well I think?!)
My dad never did (visit her that is).. well maybe a handful of times.
Joe Jr never did!

My dad bought Judy a 1 bedroom condo on E57th st. She died 1 year later due to complications of Hodgkins Disease (cancer of the lymph nodes).
She was getting high with my bestfriend and one time boyfriend Anthony Valentino.
You WILL hear more of him!
She died!
My awesome sister..
But.. Guess What...
I was living in Miami at the time.
No one told me until a week after she died..
NO ONE?!?!?
WHY?

I really hate that story!

I miss Judy.
I really wish she met Chad
