If you watch this short Charles Bukowski video closely, you will see some footage of the author, Pamela “Cupcakes” “Scarlet” Miller Wood at 0:46 – 0:49 and again at 2:32 – 2:52
The title of the video is “A Report Upon The Consumption Of Myself” by Charles Bukowski. And no, the unclothed woman at 0:31 – 0:37 is NOT Ms. Wood.
Pam writes that Bukowski.net is a valuable source of all things Bukowski.
That is an understatement. It is a truly amazing and scholarly collection.

BukCalledHerScarlet.com is a fansite, dedicated to the book CHARLES BUKOWSKI'S SCARLET by Pamela "Cupcakes O'Brien" "Tammie" "Scarlet" Wood.
For a time in the early 1970s, Pamela shared her life with the poet and writer, Charles Bukowski. Her memoir, "Charles Bukowski's Scarlet" is a chronicle of those times.
And they were tumultous times indeed. The women who came of age during those years form a powerful sisterhood.
We are now business owners and home owners, and mothers and grandmothers, but for a brief time in the late 1960s and early 1970s we ran barefoot in the grass, with flowers in our hair. We strummed guitars or belted out the blues.
It was the era of Free Speech and Free Love and we drank deeply of both.
Decades have passed, but our treasured memories have not dimmed, and the hope and the promise of those years still burns in our hearts.
We may be older, but we are filled with a joy that can only be known by those who have lived life fully and well.
