Ready? Get Set. "Let's Dance!"
Me being photographed by legendary Bruce Weber and his team for his next book
Today, I did an amazing photo session and interview with the legendary Bruce Weber. It will be for his next project. We didn't playback any live music during the session because we recorded every word exchanged between us. I've never felt more comfortable in my life with a photographer!
Throughout the entire session, my internal Dj kept playing one continuous happy loop. It was a song I'd originally done with David Bowie back in the 80's. Here's CHIC's version. Are you Ready? Get Set. "Let's Dance."

Bruce had found a cape by Pablo Picasso's cape maker

We were supposed to go on a walking tour but he became enchanted with my neo-classical style apartment

We got along so well he talked me into wearing a dreadlock cap!
Years ago I had a VH1 TV show and John Lee Hooker once told me, "Always wear your sun glasses indoors"
