I managed to bring Fernando but no camera &#8212; I was all crazed due to fashion confusion &#8212; but I stealthily took the blurry photo with my cell phone.<\/p>\n<p>My fashion confusion stemmed from the sudden arrival of a vintage <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/articles\/A3561-2004May30.html\">Patrick Kelly<\/a> dress that I bought on eBay. Originally, I bid on it and forgot about it, so I was stunned when I won it. Then I paid for it and forgot about it again, so I was surprised when it arrived today. Then I was amazed a third time when I realized it was floor length. (The good thing about early senility is that life is full of surprises.) When I tried it on and it fit, I decided I&#8217;d never have the nerve to wear it if I didn&#8217;t wear it immediately.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_gTmdbGeiE-E\/SA674p5A5MI\/AAAAAAAAC3I\/hjoQEzTeIGk\/s320\/tribeca+film+fest+april+22.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192294002396816578\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Meow!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p>My friend Jane had her camera and took a picture of me with <a href=\"http:\/\/mcgone.blogspot.com\/\">Fernando<\/a>, who is off to a good start on the NYC leg of his journey.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/mcgone.blogspot.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_gTmdbGeiE-E\/SA69kZ5A5NI\/AAAAAAAAC3Q\/6OsZbY1rCJE\/s320\/tribeca1.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192295853527721170\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Oink!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p> <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I swear to God, this is a picture of Fernando von Bakonstein (pinkish blotch in foreground) and Lauren Bacall (blurry lady in background) at a dinner for the Tribeca Film Festival.
