"To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor,
to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life.
The money is the gravy."

When will the US Post Office make an Elizabeth Bishop stamp? Or what about a Frank O'Hara stamp? I'd put that to my tongue! Oh god I can't believe I just wrote that!
I've been looking all over the web for confirmation of this. I know saturday is BD's 100th b'day. I know that the USPS is issuing a BD stamp. but I can't uncover anything official. guess I'll just have to go to a p.o. & hope for the best.
April 15. Latest info, the release date has been pushed back from June to sometime in September. This per the USPS. It will be someplace in Hollywood as part of the series Legends of Hollywood.

Every gay man in America will be at the post office on April 5 furiously licking away. I'm sure Bette would have appreciated that.
