In 1991, Iman and David Bowie were living in the apartment next to my GF's at the time. My GF and Iman knew each other from the old days although I would not call them friends. More like "frenemies". I basically lived there although I had my own place up the canyon. David and I became good friends, actually at his behest and not with the blessing of my GF, who thought he was gay. (He most definitely is not). He bought a concours Series 2 XKE roadster in BRG while we were hanging out, he found it in San Francisco and had it shipped down to L.A.

One night they had a small cocktail party and invited us. The guests were Tim Curry, Little Richard, Luther Vandross, Bob Rafelson and a few other civilians, including me. David spent the lion's share of the party talking to me and the other nobodies. He was that kind of English gentleman, he could not tolerate anyone being in his home and not feeling 100% welcome and appreciated. I've lost touch with him but I'll always cherish the friendship for as long as it lasted.

We also went to an Oscar viewing party the same year at Dodi Fayed's house in Beverly Hills. Kareem was there as well as Tom Cruise and a boatload of other Hollywood people. Dodi was a complete prick to me, he had no time for anyone who was not famous or a really hot chick. Kareem could not have been nicer, what a great guy.

That's more than enough of this for me, I've never thought that it's a good idea and not sure why I'm doing it(?)
