Hatches -- It was impressive to meet you, such a stately figure of consequence with a wise, yet subdued kindness. I hope you like the Jackie 60 Fashion Forward shwag, I apologize for the interruption in your stage performance last night (that was not my doing, ahem, Daddy - I much prefer being on the dance floor!) ------------- As I continue to delve into NYC in the 80s, I find more and more information about DWs work and the artists he collaborated with.

Way back in the '80's I guess Johnny Depp was on a TV show (maybe his first?). At the same time I had those records out and was on the radio and on street posters etc. All the kids in my neighborhood (our neighborhood Anna Nicole) knew my name was Johnny and some how thought I was Johnny Depp. They would ask me for my autograph and gush ect.

Re: Join us at Hooker's Ball 4 New Year's Eve
I just got back from taping the Hookers Ball segment for Naked NY. It will be on tonight 12/30 at 10 PM and midnight, Metro TV. Some of the Jackie 60 movie/Museum of Sex Footage will also be shown - I'm not sure how much. Other guests included a gay psychic and a porn portrait artist. Really had a good time and hope it brings lots of visiting Hookers to the party!
