Anyone else used to jerk off to Mavis Beacon? She was a real fox. I’d type with one hand and jerk with the other.

"Mavis Beacon is not a real person. The original photo of Mavis Beacon was of Haitian-born model Renee L'Esperance. She was introduced to Les Crane, the former talk-show host, while he was shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills. Crane, who was then a partner in The Software Toolworks, devised the sobriquet.

Mavis Beacon's first name was taken from Mavis Staples, lead vocalist for the Staple Singers. The surname derives from beacon, as in a light to guide the way."

^^^^OIC now. GG! A truly fitting tribute to the decedent!

^^^As for my reference, that's Michael McKean playing the character of one of Larry David's many nemeses on Curb Your Enthusiasm -- Matt Tessler.
