groupie world — to get their pants
down somehow,” she said. “Seri
ously, that is how and why it hap
pened — and it worked!"
But to this day, Caster likes the
virginal mystique the basic all
white plaster casts in her collec
tion portray.
“It also gives them a kind of a
feminine touch,” she said.
Speaking of which, Caster cast
her first pair of breasts about two
months ago.
It’s remarkable that she hasn’t
yet received any feminine back
lashing for glorifying the male
anatomy or using any means pos
sible to get her subject to reach the
size she needs him to do the cast
ing.
“Everybody either laughs or
walks away,” she said. “They
don’t verbally assault me, to my
face that is.”
What could be the most contro
versial aspect of her art — the
lengths she sometimes goes to get
her models up-to-par — doesn’t
seem to be an issue at all with her
audience.
In her maturity, Caster prefers
to have her subject’s sexual part
ner act as the plater, an English
slang term for a person who gives
someone a blow-job. Caster uses it
to refer to any kind of stimulation
done by a person on her subjects.
Her friends, however, have of
ten assumed this role and Caster
admits that lately, she’s had to act
as both plater and caster.
The dual role isn’t at all sexy.
Because she can’t use a simple art
mold that wraps around the penis
for fear that it will destroy the
hard-on, she must mix a vat of
wet plaster that the subject can
dip his penis into and out of, be
fore he loses his erection.
She learned the hard way to al
ways sufficiently lubricate her
subject’s pubic hair. While trying
to remove Hendrix’s cast penis —
only the third one of her career —
his pubic hair got stuck in the
mold for 15 minutes. He was
more than a good sport about it.
“Hendrix seemed to get off on
the fact that he had this impres
sion of his penis that was just the
right size for him to fuck, so that’s
what he did while we pulled one
pube at a time,” Caster said.

the plaster can also be tricky. Of
ten, it requires so much attention,
that if there isn’t a plater around,
her men just have to fend for
themselves.
“One of my subjects gave him
self a hand job,” Caster recalls,
“though I don’t know what he
was thinking about because he
was looking at my mother’s pic
ture and she was in her 70s.”
Oglers of his penis will never
know what he was thinking, but
one thing is for sure, Caster
speaks of her collection like a
proud mother.
The early originals, which she
affectionately calls her “oldest ba
bies,” are in a bronze form and
kept in a bank vault in Chicago.
She is quick to clarify that they
are all her “sweet babies, though,
and the youngest ones are still at
home with their momma.”
In fact, she said, her apartment
is “like, overflowing with cocks
right now.”
Thanks to the documentary in
the works, however, at least she
no longer has to do clerical work;
Caster was a typesetter for about
20 years before they phased out
the job.
A generous monetary advance
has been making ends meet,
though she swears her art is com
mitted purely out of love.
“You can’t pay me to cast your
cock, if you had one,” she said. “I
would never sell the originals, but
limited editions are a considera
tion. I’m thinking about it.”

Don t forsake college to start family
Dear Harlan,
This letter is in response to the
girl who wants to bypass college
to start a family. I was a 3.0 high
school student who easily could
have been a 4.0 student had I ac
tually tried. My parents had high
hopes for me and my father
thought that I would attend an Ivy
League school.
What actually happened was I
moved out of my house the same
week I graduated high school and
moved in with my boyfriend who
was 6 years older than me. I had
known him only two months and
in that time he had already been
in and out of jail.
Two months later, I was preg
nant with my daughter. The rela
tionship was terrible. While he
was not physically abusive he was
mentally and emotionally abu
sive. We kept splitting up and get
ting back together. My parents dis
owned me for not going to college
and having the baby out of wed
lock so there was nowhere to turn.
Just last year, at age 231 got preg
nant again and had a boy in Feb
ruary. The year before, I really
thought my partner was improv
ing or "growing up." Well, I was
Advice
wrong. Now, that the new baby is
here he is back to his same old self.
He doesn't work. I pay all the bills
and provide the care for our two
children. He is never home, he is a
heavy pot smoker and he has
promised me he will go to anger
management classes, wljich was
part of the promise he made for
me to get back with him. Our
daughter is now 5 and loves her fa
ther very much. He does do a lot
for her — he spends time with her
— but that is not enough reason to
keep a relationship together.
I am considering telling my par
ents they were right, that I was an
idiot all along and beg on my
hands and knees to move back
home so I can pay off some bills,
get away from him and straighten
out my life. I don't regret having
my children, even for a second.
They are a wonderful blessing.
And I'm damn lucky to have such
a good job in the finance industry
with only a high school educa
tion. But my advice is to get an ed
ucation, find yourself and then
consider having a relationship
and children. I will be 24 years old
and have never even had my own
room and never have had time just
forme to be me.
— Been There
Dear Been there,
It’s amazing you have time to
work, time to support a family,
and time to write this letter. Do
me a favor and don't write any
more letters. You're too busy.
Take some time for you. Go
home, regroup and get that guy
out of your life. Be completely
honest with your parents and
hope they will open their hearts
as well as their arms as they wel
come you into their home.
Be proud of what you've ac
complished. You've been through
so much and seem incredibly
strong and smart. Now, it's time
to set an example for your chil
dren. Thanks for taking to the
time to write and share your story.
