Trans-Atlantic Vixen Fest

This week the UK Vixens have reconvened to welcome US Vixen Mauigirl (centre) to London. She is staying with her husband, who is here for business, in a flat belinging to his company.

Ann, Diane and Eliza met up with her at lunchtime, and I joined them in the late afternoon, today being a working day.

Topics of conversation were many and varied (yet strangely all with a Vincent theme), with special reference to The Whole Wide World and Robert E. Howard. There was a general consensus that Vincent would be delighted if he knew that his portrayal of the troubled writer hard sparked such interest in the author and his works.

Of course, there was plenty more light-hearted talk, much of it involving things we would like to enjoy in the company of our favourite actor. We'll leave the details to your fertile imaginations.

Maui's husband came home just in time to take a photo to commemorate the occasion.

More jollies later in the week.

    Clearly I need to get my legs in the sun a bit more next year, but I'd like to thank my V-Sisters for a lovely day in the sunshine and MR Mauigirl for taking only the 3rd picture ever of me that I actually LIKE - the other 2 being taken by Tess on a street in NYC in 2006 and Ruby (unknowingly!) in 2010 at a certain Joe's Pub :0)

    What fun! My husband gets to go to exotic places like Syracuse and stay in the Marriott, so I opt for home. Lucky Mauigirl! Glad you ladies had a meet-up and some wonderful conversation.
