DP in Mr. Pearl’s monkey coat – photo by Michael James O’Brien

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Yesterday I came back from my super speed trip to NYC that lasted about 48 hours. Just before I left Paris I received the latest issues of the ZOO Cinema Issue newspaper, the magazine will be out for Valentine’s day…. I met Michael James O’Brien for lunch at Toraya so that I could give him the ZOO International Cinema Issue ’08 because I love it and was sure that he would too.

When we left Toraya I asked Michael to take an image of me in Mr. Pearl’s monkey coat before I had to give it back. I had visited Mr. Pearl the day before I went to Stockholm and he was worried that I might be too cold and so he lent me his voodoo monkey coat. I promised Robb Young that I would send him a good image of me in the coat. I know neither Mr. Pearl nor I, nor Robb Young for that matter, eat meat so it might be a bit politically incorrect to wear fur but honestly, I felt fine. I am also carrying my fave Jas M B bag.

Later,

Diane

P.S. Maarten, I am a rooster, not a rat.
