From Loyal Innercourse Readers

Here are excerpts from fan letters received over the years.

"[First Kisses] ... was one of the most original and informative efforts in Kansas City journalistic achievement. Like most Americans, I have vast regard for all the paid professional journalists out on the firing line of news reporting .... Few of us have troubled ourselves to get within wanking distance of any Croatian military personnel."
- R. West (4/97)

"I've enjoyed your column for months (I guess it's been years now). Your intelligence, insight and humor never fail to delight and/or provoke me."
- C. Hansen (3/95)

"... your writing has given me insight into the profound emotional differences between Ms and Fs. After 40+ years on this planet ... I realize how little I've learned about the female psyche. You've helped me appreciate - and respect- those differences. And always, that learning is spiced with humor .... 'Falling (Yuk!) in Love' has a place of prominence in my office and I reread it regularly. It never fails to make me laugh - thanks!"
- J. Gencur (7/95)

"... my eyes filled with tears, as they do again as I write these lines, and I am moved to thank you for phrasing so well what I am feeling about AIDS."
- S. Jackson (1/95)

"I thought this 'Kiki Dakota' nom de airgun masked one blowsy bulldyke, who was more bitter than a 50-pack of BC Powders, hated men like I hate yard work, and was cashiered from McKinnon's Marchers for being too radical."
- J. Mitchell (2/95)

"So you are an obsessive talker .... I think it is genetics and God gave women a larger quota [of] talking chromosomes. Maybe a shot of testosterone would slow you down."
- T. Powell (3/96)

"In this day of cookie cutter personalities ... you have the refreshing courage to be a 'multipurpose girlfriend.'"
- M. Alexander (1/96)

"It's nice to know I'm not suffering alone."
- J. Wright (3/96)

" ... now I'm confused. Who is the real Kiki Dakota?! Is she the spiritual, grace-from-God, manna-earth-mother of Wednesday Magazine, or the wipe-the-foam-off-my-mouth-and-tongue-me, onmivore-in-heels of The Pitch? It's nice to read all this gender-driven angst from a feminine point of view."
- D. Auwater (3/95)

"Right on, baby!"
- S. Brancato (5/97)

"I actually had a crush on you, with the exotic name, the post-hippie attitude, the bad girl mentality."
- Dharma Bum (5/96)
