quote

"you can't not love because of the fear of pain" said my stepfather on the telephone tonight

out with tolula

what a beautiful night - i visited the opening at the hayward gallery with my friends natalie and tolula - i met a curious girl named domino and just soaked up the glorious company of gorgeous women - since ive grown a beard i must say nothings more exciting than having a sexy girl run her fingers through it - also, i find it very touching when men like to stroke and praise each others beards

my course of evolution has been in overdrive lately and ive changed so dramatically that people dont even recognise me anymore - i like that - being a natural shapeshifter its nice to feel either anonymous or unrecognizable - ive always been a man of many faces and facets and each is uniquely ebe - recently my somewhat rigid flatmate professed her bewilderment at not really knowing who ebe is because of this - i find this most amusing

the outer reflects the inner

after the opening tolula dragged me away for a secret treat - she took me for dinner at guy ritchie's pub/restaurant called the punch bowl where they have live bluegrass and fiddle music playing - the decor was all old tarnished oak and mahogany and the pumpkin and crab soup we had was delicious - we reminisced about isabella and sent her a blessing, she told me about her fabulous experience of being vivienne westwoods new muse, we discussed and giggled at our future success and made plans to take an exciting adventure together

love to you all ~

be kind to one another X
