Prissy Priscilla?



I ALMOST CHOKED TODAY AT LUNCH. I was reading that Priscilla Davis is upset by Heather Locklear’s sleazy portrayal of her in “Texas Justice” [“At Large” January].

While attending TCU in Fort Worth during the late ’60s and early 70s, I had many opportunities to observe Priscilla. One of her most memorable costumes was what I called “Daisy Mae,” due to her attire and pigtails. Sleazy? Maybe not, but certainly puzzling. But let’s not forget the Colonial golf tournament where each year Priscilla would really dazzle. Though I haven’t seen ’Texas Justice” yet, I’ll bet Priscilla never looked and acted so good.JENENE M.

Feelin’ Hot, Hot, Hot!



Hallelujah!-or should I say Gra-cias a Dios! Chris Tucker returning to D as editor: my prayers have been answered.

Like many other Dallasites, I bemoaned the demise of D and hailed its rebirth; however, after only a few lackluster issues of the resurrected D, I was beginning to think that this phoenix was headed for a quick return to the ash heap. Now I look forward to a vastly improved D. Tucker will become the salsa and spice up D.

Born To Run



YOUR ARTICLE IN THE JANUARY ISSUE OF D Magazine on mayoral candidates [“People to Watch in ’95”] was incomplete. It has been a well-known fact in the political community that I was planning to run for mayor of Dallas, My plans to run have been written about in the Dallas Morning News and have been discussed both on local radio and television.

It is very hard for me to believe that this was a simple oversight. I’m forced to believe, instead, that this is a conscious effort to exclude African-American candidates who have worked long and hard at the grass-roots level. Even a casual observer might think that this was an organized effort on the part of the Dallas power structure to exclude candidates with a track record and name recognition in the community.

Keep It Coming



I AM FINDING THAT YOUR MAGAZINE PROvides a new perspective and additional information from what one hears in the newspaper, on the radio, or on television. I always measure local magazines against Texas Monthly, and I think D Magazine is stacking up very well.
