Reformed divorce attorney turned mediator who has a highly developed sense of the absurd and is one of the luckiest people on the planet. Evidence.... one night at a party for Federico Fellini at Area, both Fellini AND John Waters kissed my right (FF) and then left (JW) hand. My two fave directors at the same party and got kisses from both. Talked to John quite a while but not FF.

Kitsch belindaesq has commented on.
These are all of comments I've made about all the beautiful Kitsch in the Kitschenette Wing of the AWMoK:
I would never sell these. They mean too much to me. I also collect fabulous people, but most of them are in LA and New York. I wish I had more down here in Carlsbad, CA.

So another fab story is how I got the 16mm film of the Jean Shrimpton Slicker ad. I did est in the early 1980s and it was a 2 weekend course with a week in between. After the first weekend the trainer told us something like, "You are in New York City. Anything is possible and we want to hear some great stories when you come back next weekend." So I took on finding the Yardley Slicker ad. I thought, "This is the ad capitol of the world, that film is here someplace." I was DETERMINED to get my hands on that film. So I started calling around different ad agencies. I didn't have a clue who the director was or what agency did it. Doors were slammed over and over but I thought that I would get my hands on that film if I had to fly to London and blow some old ad man. So I was walking around on the upper east side that week and walked by an office that said CLIO. I thought that the CLIOs has something to do with ads so I went in. An hour later I walked out with the 16mm film of the Yardley Slicker ad in my hands. I KNEW I was the GOD of my universe and could do ANYTHING. A good lesson to learn at a young age and I didn't have to blow anyone to get that film. The bad part of the story was, I gave it to some guy at my school who was the video DJ for Danceteria. I wish I would have kept it so I could have given it to YOU!
Where is the jealous button when you need it. I want one, bad (a la Ann Magnuson /Bongwater re:Nick Cave doll. Very obscure reference readers are excused for not knowing.
I remember this so well! I think I made my mom buy me shoes there so I could get the egg bank. The thrill of seeing these things again makes this collection so wonderful. I wish I would have kept my Jesus of the Bermudas. I had that thing for almost 30 years and got rid of it a few years ago. Would have fit in here so beautifully.

The Jean Shrimpton Yardley ad is not on you tube but I found one from a few years later.
