Nor was anyone else\u00a0 by the looks. Arranged by Peter Acharya who left the next day to fight for possession of land in Trinidad. He was planning Court outfits.<\/p>\n<p>Peter said there would be a higher grade PV and Summer Party later on at which Stephen Heston&#8217;s PA more likely to appear.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t take Picasso, I&#8217;m afraid. Except for the blue period, which is so grave and monumental. &#8216;Boy Leading a Horse&#8217; is one of the greatest paintings of all time (although, is it Blue Period? Now I look seems more sand-coloured). Otherwise Picasso ugly, nasty trivial colours. awful black outlines. That one of\u00a0 lady as a series of spheres (in this exhib) looks like mail-order blow-up lady, horrid brown and pale blue with harsh red slab. What is the point?<\/p>\n<p><em>Guernica<\/em> all right though.<\/p>\n<p>Over dinner Peter told me he had once flown to Madrid with a Gay who said certain shoe only to be bought there.\u00a0 Taxi-ed miles to remote shopping centre. Peter realised the shoe in fact widely available but said nothing. So wise. Best not to shatter the radiant Gay illusion with dreary fact.<\/p>\n<p>Remember Blanche Dubois? <em>Streetcar Named Desire.<\/em> &#8216;I don&#8217;t tell the truth.&#8217; She knew what she was doing.<\/p>\n<p>Now &#8211; the Photo Multi&#8217;s Birthday this year was held on a farm. I couldn&#8217;t have loved it more. An urban farm, hard by their penthouse! Who&#8217;d have thought it? Quite smelly and scruffy. Cobbled together wooden pens with vegetables growing. Don&#8217;t know where the animals were. Appearance low priority. But terrace for champagne beside our National River. The dinner in a wooden hut absolutely excellent and service very efficient. Pig (presumably farm&#8217;s own pig). The Multis self-wined at a very high level.<\/p>\n<p>My dinner neighbour said her sons, 26 and 31, had been living at home until recently. Now in a parent-bought flat, bickering wonderfully and phoning home with girl-friend problems. I wonder. Maybe the ideal of independence for the young adult now out-moded. The new generation bask in the wealth of their parents and make\u00a0 strictly noncommercial music videos. Good news for kitchen-loving Poor Little Rich Gays &#8211; that is, older glittering Gays who favour and can afford a younger treasured boyfriend\/partner (?).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve always taken a dim view, as you know, of the kitchen scenario. Perhaps time to re-think.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3373\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3373\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3373\" title=\"IMG_2445\" src=\"http:\/\/poorlittlerichgays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_2445-650x617.jpg\" alt=\"Meredith Silverwater's Feather Trim for the Photo Multi's Farm Birthday Party: She Attends Trunk Sales at Designer Stores to Avoid Waiting Lists: Only Major Spenders Invited to Trunk Sales, Of Course \" width=\"650\" height=\"617\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3373\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Merton Silverwater&#39;s Feather Trim for the Photo Multi&#39;s Farm Birthday Party: She Attends Trunk Sales at Designer Stores to Avoid Waiting Lists: Only Major Spenders Invited to Trunk Sales, Of Course <\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3366\" style=\"width: 572px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3366\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3366\" title=\"011\" src=\"http:\/\/poorlittlerichgays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/011-562x750.jpg\" alt=\"The Photo Multi's Farm Birthday: Simplicity\" width=\"562\" height=\"750\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3366\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Photo Multi&#39;s Farm Birthday: Simplicity<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3367\" style=\"width: 572px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3367\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3367\" title=\"015\" src=\"http:\/\/poorlittlerichgays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/015-562x750.jpg\" alt=\"The Photo Multi's Farm Dinner: Farm Pig Main\" width=\"562\" height=\"750\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3367\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Photo Multi&#39;s Farm Dinner: Farm Pig Main<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday 13th May 2012 To Tate Britain Private View for Commercial Sponsors of Picasso exhibition, although I&#8217;m not that thing.
