Yvonne the Model


Yvonne’s hairdresser invited her to model for a photo shoot yesterday. She’s been advised to find an agent in LA…so we had to come all the way to Vienna to launch her modeling career. Of course, she thinks it’s a brainless profession and has no interest, but we’ll see if she changes her mind…

The formidable weather suddenly turned gorgeous. One doesn’t take the sun for granted here as we do in California. On Sunday, there were all manner of children, dogs, lovers, elderly couples, strolling, basking on benches, and picnicking in the Stadtpark---a kind of miniature Central Park, with a Biergarten, a pond with ducks, songbirds, and statues of Schiller and Schubert watching it all. Flanked on one end by a Hilton Hotel and the other by the Intercontinental, it’s a lovely refuge, with the Vienna River---a tributary of the Danube Canal---running through the center.
