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.

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.

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.
