Me and kate Betts hats and Scott anthony Kelly met with big creative photoshoot plans today in Cake cafe! Love rose xxx
Well , le cafe des Irlandais was a real revelation. The food was not only gourmet but organic and ethically sourced. The mood of the decor downstairs was perfect for my Cabaret – as if it was designed by Irish fenians who had become Parisien sophisticates. What am I after all, but an Irish kind [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, I have been away on an artist’s residency in a beautiful hillside fairy land called Noepoli. The artist’s residency is called, ‘Palazzorinaldi,’ and I really recommend it.

Ladies and gentlemen, so much to do, have wonderful new producer to help, sat with him and conspired in Dalkey last night. There was an electricity cut so we talked in candlelight – quite magical… I always sense wonder in the air when I meet a new artist to take part in the process. Keith [...]
Ladies and Gentlemen! Had a sweet rest in an attic looking over the sunny winter rooves of the south of France… I was alone in the atelier: read ‘Revolutionary Road’, and – about the French Revolution - in, ‘Citizens,’ a book by Simon Schama.. Am studying the history of social change for my film and [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, Pauline sent me a documentary synopsis and plan I sent it back with blue ink.. Will re work something tonight.. It’s a question of looking at the footage and seeing what it is saying – then also looking at the vision of the overall Cabaret… She is coming around tomorrow morning to [...]

Now its time to get a beautiful story angle. Exciting but kind of a headwreck.. Hoping to get something done [...]
