“Stare at him," said Ghost. "They won't bite you if you keep staring at them."

Steve backed away. "They bite?"

Not really. They hiss at you, mostly. The only time geese are ever dangerous is when you happen to be standing on the edge of a cliff. I heard about a guy that almost got killed that way."

This guy had wings," said Ghost. "He flew away.”

Krys: And On-X!

Rainbow Brite: Come on! We've got to rescue them!

Wisp: (cutting Shy Violet off) Just get those violet star sprinkles.

Poppy Z. Brite Quotes

Yeah, I think A Confederacy of Dunces is probably the perfect New Orleans book.

This is the point being missed by readers who lament Liquor’s lack of hot s*x scenes, probably because they aren’t old enough to understand that a passionate relationship could be about anything other than s*x.

There are people who must spend huge amounts of time composing these online diatribes against me, all about how disgusting and terrible I am and how no one should ever read my books, and it’s not enough for them to hate me, they can’t stand the fact that ANYONE likes me!

My mother is an office manager, my father a professor of economics and financial planner.

My dad told me that no one could ever make it as a writer, that my chances were equivalent to winning the lottery – which was good for me, because I like to have something to prove.

Season 1 Episode 10: Chasing Rainbows

This is the first episode in which Tickled Pink talks (it might be the only one). She's the girl in pink that tries to get through the Color Castle doors with the buckets of water, and ends up going backwards.

Season 1 Episode 9: Star Sprinkled

Throughout the entire episode, Rainbow Brite's side ponytail keeps switching sides.

Season 1 Episode 6: Invasion of Rainbowland

This episode also shows Stormy on her black horse, although she is never named. In the scene where the kids scatter to avoid the crashing ship, she can be seen leaving, near Indigo.

This episode seems to show very briefly the pink color kid, Tickled Pink. You see her when the color kids run out of the castle and look around, after it cuts to Murky asking what's happening as the space ship collides. When it cuts back the kids, she is visible on the right of the screen.

Season 1 Episode 4: The Mighty Monstromurk Me.

Season 1 Episode 2: Beginning of Rainbowland (2)

He lived in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and Athens, Georgia prior to returning to New Orleans in 1993. He loves UNC basketball and is a sometime season ticket holder for the NBA, but he saves his greatest affection for his hometown football team, the New Orleans Saints.

Brite and husband Chris DeBarr, a chef, run a de facto cat rescue and have, at any given time, between fifteen and twenty cats. Photos of the various felines are available on the "Cats" page of Brite's website. They have been known to have a few dogs and perhaps a snake as well in the menagerie. They are no longer together.

During Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Brite at first opted to stay at home, but he eventually abandoned New Orleans and his cats and relocated 80 miles away to his mother's home in Mississippi. He used his blog to update his fans regarding the situation, including the unknown status of his house and many of his pets, and in October 2005 became one of the first 70,000 New Orleanians to begin repopulating the city.

In the following months, Brite has been an outspoken and sometimes harsh critic of those who are leaving New Orleans for good. He was quoted in the New York Times and elsewhere as saying, in reference to those considering leaving, "If you’re ever lucky enough to belong somewhere, if a place takes you in and you take it into yourself, you don't desert it just because it can kill you. There are things more valuable than life." . more
