A bow tie affair

 I was asked to attend a bow tie affair in the RHA Royal Hibernian Academy. There was to be an exhibition of photographs featuring works by Agata Stoinska, a wonderful Polish lady who came to Ireland years ago.

Agata arrived in Dublin and formed a photographic studio near the Five Lamps called D'Lite studios, it was really great and there was loads of things happening. She invited me to different things happening there, it was really great. Then the Dublin corporation went in at night and changed the locks and locked them out.

Such an awful pity as really great things were happening there. 

So I dressed up and popped in to see the pictures.

I have never been inside the doors of the place before and it is really a fantastic building.

Loads of arty types, Kiss Kiss Hug Hug, very posh. It has been quite a few years  since I saw Agata herself but I recognized her straight away, after a few words I headed off.

Going down the stairs a group of lady's suddenly recognized me..... Jim! (not me) she said gripping me in a huge embrace, kisses and more  hugs followed. Then I was introduced to the rest of the group as the wonderful Hollywood actor Jim Malone. Posed with them for photos.

He must be a great guy as an imposter of me and visa versa.

I headed off quickly before he came.

Fame is a strange thing and some people cannot handle it, I have met a few really great ones and a few bad ones as well. There was a thing on YouTube the other 5 toxic actors in Hollywood. The following one was number 1. I won't say his name, but this is what happened at the time. 

The Blackpool festival of magic is the very top of the best that magic can be. 

Great shows and demonstrations and it is just magic, I have seen the greatest of the great there. Preforming and giving lectures..

 Paul Daniels who was a fantastic showman told me that 

"Magic is the most fun you can have without taking your trousers off".

I met Paul around 6 times and he was a real gent, no airs and graces at all. 

 

So I was at the bar in Blackpool about to be served when the number one moron pushed right in front of me and started shouting at the barman. The barman ignored him and served me, then the other person to the side of me. Our big star shouted  "I am here first" The barman looked at him straight in the eye and said,"you have no respect and you can shout until tomorrow. but I will not be serving you".

By the way thanks for dropping in to look at the blog. I hope to see you again.
