Early flight tomorrow. Skipped Thanksgiving this year, but made myself quinoa with bits of last year’s long-frozen leftover turkey. Still surprisingly tasty. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I have always been terrified and mesmerised by Udo Kier. 🧛♀️
Once, in a gay bar in Palm Springs, I turned around and he was just standing there, holding a drink. I checked in the bar mirror to see if he had a reflection. He saw me checking and smiled. It was perfect.
