Sunday Lunch
Ben Fink's mum Margaret
gorgeous, stylish, fascinating people as always, and of course Margaret's divine food and fabulous style.
David - fabulous queen in his 'late youth! - told us stories about hiding a hip flask in his nude suit at the Paris Opera, (many years ago) on stage 'dressed' as venus with 40 pound wings on his back - I'd need a drink too!
Don Fish, who was very taken by bridge project and quite dashing, ran an arty shop 'kaleidescope' in woollahra in the 70's. Liza Minelli came in to be filmed wandering around, apparently she quite trashy and very unattractive.

The lovely Mark Trevorrow was there too, and invited us all to his show on Friday night. He told a story about meeting kd lang with Paul Capsis when
they were performing at the gay games, she was being the big star, and Paul insisted they be introduced, the surly dyke with headphones just
said, KD, this is Mark and Paul. Mark tried to tell her they were actually performers as well: 'we're a couple of the other turns', 'what?' she said,
'you're a couple of turds??....'
so that's their new band name, a coupla turds.
enough name dropping for now, there's work to do!
