The show is launched

I'm finally resurfacing after A Show of Hands opened. (open till August 7)

 It was such a great night and so lovely to see all my wonderful friends and celebrate with them.

I got a terrific photo of all my gorgeous book writing friends in front of the painting of Madge.




Over the next few days I'll post a few photos from the night.
There were lots of amazing people there. Tootsie owned his painting and chatted to anyone who came by.

Tootsie's real name is Ken Atherton. At the age of 19 he was imprisoned for being gay. When he told me I didn't actually believe it could be true. He's 78 now, and does mime drag cabaret acts which he started doing when he was 62.
