Brooklyn Bound

It’s a bit mad when you think about it but Ralph and I have known each other for 10 years. Yesterday I – quite literally – followed him across the Atlantic to spend some time with him and his partner, Tyron. Ralph is now doing really well as a make-up artist, which is immensely satisfying for me as I have seen him grow professionally. His new agent will ensure that he travels to London regularly and finally all his hard work is paying off.

The journey was eventful only by it’s total lack of event arriving ahead of schedule by nearly 50 minutes. I nearly asked the pilot to go around the block again until Boardwalk Empire had finished. Anyway, the route through customs was very swift and a cab too me swiftly to Dean Street and then Ralph whisked me even more swiftly to a sushi bar. Here I met AA Nominated Actress Taraji P Henson, a friend of Tyron’s and an absolute blast. She was hysterical and the evening ended with my first viewing of Ru Paul’s Drag Race (WTF? Why isn’t the UK doing this?) until I was finally beaten by the lag. I made my apologies although I had been awake 24 hours.

Evidently it takes a lot to fool my body clock and freakishly I was up at 6.00am New York Time. I was in my favorite local diner by 7.00am. Carb Heaven.
