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 happening. She invited me to different things there, it was really great. Then the 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.
I have never been inside the doors of the place before and it is a fantastic building.
Loads of arty types, Kiss Kiss Hug Hug, very posh. It has been quite a few years since I saw Agata 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. 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.
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.
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.
So I was at the bar about to be serves when the number one moron pushed 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 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.and I hope to see you again.
