Dear Shaded Viewers,
Last night I gave an appointment to my friend Clayton Burkhart to meet me at the opening of Charles Anastase at the new Galerie Baumet Sultana.

It was really funny, I ran into Bernhard Willhelm and took a few images we were laughing a lot because in one of them he looks quite Chinese, what do you think?

Bernhard Willhelm, I missed the peace sign because I was too slow and someone already brought him the champagne glass.
Pierre Hardy dropped by, man of the beautiful platform shoes. He is preparing a five year retrospective at the 20th festival d’Hyeres.
Then it was off to the Imaginary Friends party by CAP&PEP, COLETTE AND LA JOHNSON with prizes for the best hairy imaginary friend, best shaved imaginary friend and many more prizes ending up with the best amazing upcoming imaginary friends.

I know that Sarah does not like her picture taken but here I don’t think that she will really mind, that is Colette in the background and of course the two of them are Colette.
The rabbit that looked like he stepped out of Gummo was my absolute favorite costume but the blond from the living dead was pretty close.
He was great I just could not get enough distance to get his ears in
She is pretty amazing from her clouded eyes to her destroyed nails
Colette’s own Australian Hot Tomato
In real life he owns a gallery in the 6eme
My friend Jody Johnson,photographer and her friends the Guillaume and Stephane of Galerie Baumet Sultana

I liked this groups good energy and cheers for all their favorite fantasy hero’s.
Then I ran into my old Dutch magazine friends

When I was leaving I ran into Colette’s handsome PR, Guillaume Salmon, he said that I walked right passed him without saying hello, well to tell you the truth it was not easy to recognize him.
Guillaume Salmon from Colette, would you have recognized him?
