More thanks and much appreciation to Kathleen Foley and John Hedlund for providing me with their entire house where I was most comfortable. Byron for everything.

Byron picked me up and then took me to my own little house. Here he is getting me setteled and that day in the Ithaca Times. The image was taken of me in Bilbao for the press conference before the screening at the Guggenheim Bilbao.

Later,

Diane

Byron, Larry and I used to hang out together in NYC in the 80’s. I think that Larry Chua was l9 or 20 when we first met and last night he told me that I was the first person to take him seriously and know that he could write. By his mid twenties he had already published his first novel. Sweet, and I was truly touched.

I loved seeing all of his tattoos.

The first thing I saw when I got off the luxury bus…horses, it was very surreal. Byron’s dashboard, the mechanics calander, we were trying to figure out if the one’s with the men on it were meant for women or gay men.

You Wear it Well had two screenings. The first was rather intimate and only for Sarah Bernsteins costume class. The winner of the first screening was : Ruben Toledo’s Fashionation. The winner of the screening at Cornell Cinema was Shoes.

Thank you all for coming and next stop for You Wear it Well will be +46 in Stockholm next week.
