Lunch with the ASVOFF trophies and my friends

Dear Shaded Viewers,

I cannot tell you how much love went into the making of the ASVOFF trophies. Yesterday we had to transport them to Centre Pompidou for the awards ceremony. First we all got to play with them during our lunch at Rose Bakery. Miguel Villalobos, above, creator of the Diane.

Thank you Miguel Villalobos for creating them and always being there.

Thank you to all my friends and viewers for your beautiful birthday wishes. My friend Paola Piglia sent me this: "birthdays represent not time passing but time standing still."

Later,

Diane
