There's nothing wrong with being an old witch just not so fun looking like one.
And while I appreciate the compliments sincerely, I've turned into my mother in that she hasn't had a photo taken of her since 197?. I never understood what her problem was until now.

As to the true focus of this post, EJ - you look so great in all these photos. I especially love your photo at Coney Island. Also, your random NYC photos are great too.
I really enjoyed meeting you. And for those who haven't met Jan in person, she smells really good too.
Additionally, your friends in Woodstock look like SO much fun. Such a charming couple.
Most cameras feature a really harsh on-camera flash (I've been know to use a bit of loo roll and sellotape to make a DIY snood, btw) so things are a tad overlit.
No offense intended to any esteemed bunnies who aren't complete photography dorks (like moi).
Revival was absolutely pitch black on Friday night (literally, I had to buy candles just to bring in enough light so we could all see each other), and so any pictures taken were completely lit by the flash, which is why we all look so pale!
Lola G, you look just like your Grandma Bette. And she's stunning.
Also, yes, the friends in Woodstock are adorable. Peter, however, is terminally ill with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. He has 3-5 years at most. But he's very sanguine about it. He said to me that he's led a life people can only dream of - first as a Broadway actor, then a TV actor, then a Hollywood actor, and after that in his career as an art dealer (Mexican art - not my taste, too gaudy). In the 60s he knew the Beatles, the Stones, Dylan, just about everybody who was at the heart of the 60s zeitgeist, and he led a life of great hedonism. So, he said, he's packed several lifetimes of living into the years he's had and has lived with no regrets.
