This week

I was bumped from an elevator at Rockefeller Center by Richard Gere. I was working at a benefit for Meals on Wheels.

There were fifty NY restaurants set up with delicious food samples and Gere was one of the celebrity guests. As I was waiting for the elevator to take me down for the event, a nervous lady with a clipboard asked me if i could wait for the next elevator because she had "a VIP"' coming through. I said Ok and then Richard Gere pulled up in a car and came past me into the elevator, talking on his cell phone in all of his short,  white-haired splendor. I went down on the next elevator and then worked at the same event where Dicky Gere was hanging out schmoozing for the next two hours. I hope he enjoyed his private elevator ride.

A few days later, I shot Taylor Swift, some Australian model twins, Dita von Tease, and Dana Carvey at the Fragrance Foundation Awards at Alice Tully Hall.

Carvey was scrappy and funny. The crowd was totally against him but he kept swinging and made some really hilarious comments, including his impression of pompous French people. Considering that half the guests and honorees were French, it was pretty ballsy. He even did an Obama impression, reciting "Jack and Jill went up the hill," that was totally spot-on.

I also did a concert at Barbes with Andrew Hall and Alanna McDonald. It was a ripping power trio of French folk for the French folks.

And I worked on a video for my indiegogo campaign. I drove around under the BQE in a rain storm on my Vespa in the rain while Alessandro Rafanelli filmed me from the back of a car.

On the home front, Jules is going through a very tough time, asserting his will with some crazy tantrums and a lot of crying. Vivienne is very calm and happy. Their newest words are "I see you!" and "What's that?" They are tryin gto define their ever expanding world, and my heart just bursts every time I think of them. Pure Love.
