I was speaking to a friend last night and we were talking about someone we know and I said it appeared like everything was coming up roses for them, and my friend said, well, things are not always what they appear. And she’s so right. We make assumptions that sometimes prove to be so far off the mark, it almost sounds like we pulled our thoughts out of a completely different script.

Today, the washing machine repair man was here for the third time and he was standing by the front door trying to get me to come down from the office and so he was staring at the photograph of Tatjana and I in the living room for a while. When I got down there he said, “Nice photo. Your husband looks just like Mick Jagger.”

I said well he’s a she and thanks, a lot of people think that. As a matter of fact the photo was taken by our friend Marc Pagani for an exhibit he was doing that challenged the notion of femininity – again asking the viewer to look again – things, like people, are not always what they appear.
