wow, that must have been a wonderful experience for you! Cocteau was something else, wasn't he? Mr. everything! What a talent.

Yeah, I love the pose, the whole picture. Just great. Irving Penn did a great job capturing his essence, the striped tie with the checkered vest, the look, the cigarette. Wow. Gotta give it to him for sheer theater...
