Les Paul has died. 94 is a nice long life…I’m still sorry to see him go. Story at Huffington Post Note the Chihuahua in the background trying to sleep on the lounge chair. Out of a documentary. And this is funny. And fun. Les Paul’s death and looking at the old Les Paul and Mary…

Leigh Bowery Costumes
