Sincere Condolences

Anna — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 18:41:30 +0000

Sincere condolences to Madonna Badger and family on the tragic loss of her three young daughters and her parents in a house fire early Christmas day in Stamford Conn.

Madonna Badger is a generous contributor to the Kate McGarrigle Fund for Sarcoma Research and was present at the 2011 Wainwright/McGarrigle Xmas concert in aid of the fund Dec 15 at Town Hall.

Our hearts are with her and with the father of the little girls.

teddybear stand-in for turkey

Anna — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 14:00:09 +0000

The other day Kathleen Weldon, who’s illustrating a 6-page cookbook of Kate’s Xmas dinner recipes written by Martha for the charity loot bags, needed someone to pose trussing a turkey. We looked around the apt. and all we could find was Arcangelo’s teddybear. Don’t cry Arc, we didn’t poke any holes in him. Reminds me of this line from Kate’s Barbie Doll song ..’every doll was working, some with dustpans and some with brooms.’

‘Je suis venu te dire que je m’en vais.’ Rufus sings Serge Gainsbourg.

Rufus Wainwright sings ‘Je suis venu te dire que je m’en vais.’ My magnificent obsession.
