Tom and Ilona benched in Greenwich village.

George Gordon Noel Byron? No, it’s ME!

Ah! The lovely and oh so talented………..Ilona Royce Smithkin.

Ms. MARGO…..a dear friend and a very talented artist[studying at Parson’s].

Two darling artists……with the sweetest of smiles.

Ilona……holding an EGG I painted in her likeness.

Last year, Ilona was the BILLBOARD MODEL for these sunglasses…….
plastered all over Australia and New Zealand….and now in New York.

We had fun at Ilona’s Birthday party………….94 candles. It was a bonfire on that cake!
