Thank You, David Boies, For Everything
Thank You, David Boies, For Everything
September 24, 2002
I first met David Boies at his 60th Birthday party at the Rainbow Room in Manhattan. Everybody was there, everybody - from Peter Jennings, Dan Rather and Tom Brokaw, to the heads of Sony, AOL and Bertelsmann, with a featured presentation from Al Gore, whom David Boies had just represented in the contested Presidential election - all of them calling themselves the FOB, or Friends of Boies. I wore a long black Galliano dress and high-heel Manolo Blahnik shoes - the same dress and shoes that would only a week or so later create such a sensation when I posed in them for the new software Aimster, named for me.
The Galliano dress, the Manolo shoes, David Boies - and Aimster - somehow they all go together. Like the dress and the shoes, David Boies is incredibly sexy and beautiful. When I'm near him it's like I can feel him on my skin and between my toes and I feel safe and wonderful.
David Boies has been an amazing person and an incredible help to me. Without him I never could have fought the corporate super-powers the way I have. David Boies has helped me to grow as an artist, and he gave me the time I needed to get to where I am now, strong enough to stand on my own, creative enough to fight on my own. Now, thanks to him, I believe I can defeat these corporate superpowers. And now, as it turns out, I'm suddenly on my own.
You see, recently, I lost my beautiful Galliano dress while traveling. And at the same time I learned that I'm losing my beautiful David Boies, too. His law firm of Boies-Schiller is withdrawing as counsel in our Aimster litigation, in which I've been hit with a preliminary injunction.
I'll miss you, David Boies, and I'll always love you. Count me one of the Friends of Boies forever. And thank you, David Boies, for everything.
