Lupino deserves more words, but Iconista deserves rest. Fill in the gaps for me, darlings, and wake me when the cocktails are shaken.

Iconista said...: Bless you, VP, for your informative gobbets. They're like olives in my martini.; 27 December 2009 at 06:56
VP81955 said...: Thank you, Iconista. I hope one of these days you will add "Carole & Co." to your blogroll.; 29 December 2009 at 22:11
Iconista said...: Oh Darling! Are you not already there? I suspect some New Year spring cleaning might be in order.; 30 December 2009 at 02:12
