Lot Essay

Wednesday, January 12, 1977
The office was jumping, Vincent was going crazy. Bianca called and said she was having a birthday dinner that night for Joel LeBon who works for Pierre Berge. Potassa the drag queen was at the office in a homemade black and gold fantasy dress and Jamie got fascinated and painted her in the dress with her cock showing. He’ll be painting at 860 for about two months. Then Victor got Potassa to pose in the nude.
