was tempted to kick him out there and then, but for the boy's fortune,<br />

that was willed to him. So Angelo stayed in his room to the ghastly,<br />

horrific end. The disease progressed swiftly and mercilessly, but in the<br />

end he still suspected Sandro of asphyxiating his brother with a pillow<br />

to ease his misery. Ula could never be approached on the subject,<br />

strengthening his suspicion that she was an ac<strong>com</strong>plice in the crime, a<br />

suspicion confirmed when the two of them flew off to Rome with the<br />

urn. French laws regarding euthanasia were not something to get<br />

tangled up in, especially if they dragged out everything else.<br />

This began with a series of campy soft porn photo montages<br />

that caught the attention of the art world. There is no publicity like the<br />

negative publicity of scandal and from the time they were toddlers the<br />

boys attracted their fair share of it. Back then Dick's new friend<br />

Salvador Dali had prints made of their little sphincters on wet rag paper<br />

to prove a pet theory of his, that identical twins had identical creases<br />

radiating from their tiny orifices, and in fact the two ba<strong>by</strong> bottoms<br />

prints were virtually indistinguishable one from the other. Dick's<br />

<strong>com</strong>plicity in the project galvanized his friendship with that eccentric<br />

genius, boosted his standing in the art world a few notches, and with<br />

these masterpieces of posterior art, the twins began their life of secret<br />

celebrity, leading to starring roles in controversial contraband movies<br />

that still lurked on certain <strong>In</strong>ternet sites and on the shelves of specialty<br />

establishments, loci that with the ruthless pedophilia purges of the new<br />

millennium pointed directly back to Dick. The twin prints were now<br />

innocently framed in the living room, one above the other next to the<br />

large painting, and anyone who didn't know what they were would<br />

think they were a biomorphic surrealist soft sculpture.<br />

Dick climbed up the narrow back stairs to the maid's rooms<br />

where he kept his photos and tchochkes. He pulled the framed<br />

Cibachromes from the racks to mount them in the hall next to the<br />

celebrity shots. They were harmless enough and the colors would pep<br />

up the long hall. Although Richard Schwanz was never a stellar<br />

photographer he did have a knack for attracting attention and with<br />

those photos and the two beautiful boys at his sides he'd found the keys<br />

if not to the town, at least to all the right parties in town. The photos<br />

would merely be seen as part of the autobiographical exhibit on the<br />

walls of the long corridor.<br />

He might as well throw in that first full length portrait he'd shot<br />

of Angelo as Art-Deco drag queen. Not entirely his work, as it was<br />

styled <strong>by</strong> that ridiculous freak Madame D'Oc, hair dresser to the Beau<br />
