I always miss the stars...

Mark Eley just raced down the stairs with a rather dashing new hair cut [to look Ooh La La for Paris Fashion Week next week] to say hello and to check up on business. He told me that Sophie Calle was in here the other day!! I love her work and wished I could have been around to say hello - she was a big inspiration when I was at art school. But maybe I was saved from just making a tit of myself. They do say meeting your heros can be a disappointment. One time I literally bumped into Tom Baker [THE Dr Who of greatest note IMHO] on Brewer Street not far from Fresh and Wild. When I looked up from the pavement to see who this person was I had just wacked and found myself face to face with DR WHO!!! all I could muster was an "Ahhh errrr ueeergh" not sure what so say and he moved swiftly onward. Maybe it was a double trauma - faced with a hero and the images rushing back from the TV series of the episode with the giant maggots that had me running down the hallway in the dark to reach the switch taking giant leaps when I was a young girl. Okay... So I'm starting to sound like the other day when I was impersonating the difference between a laserjet and inkjet printer to Pippa over the phone...
