Wednesday for Carmen Rupe

In at Memphis with Tom, Anita and then Gloria, quite busy. Am soon off to the Portrait Gallery where a new poratrait of legendary trans girl Carmen Rupe is being unveiled by the Mayor.

A good crowd was there and we in Tiwhanawhana sang a Waitata in Carmen's honour.

Then further along at Anglican St Paul's with Interfaith mob, we had a recollection for the lost people in the Isis bombings around the world. Many talks by Muslim Imams and Jewish Rabbis.

This is in Brisbane, a step further to the cashless society.

Boxing is a stupid sport, more like a big money spinner with many casualties.

This man in a coma for days...!

Kiwi strange stories of which there are many.....

Crazy flag referendum, symptomatic of a juvenile government.

What Kiwis love, a big wedding with lots of 'The Mob'.

Is Mick just trying a little too hard at 72? I wonder how much longer they will last as The Rollng Stones...?

Carmen's smile is now lighting up the National Portrait Gallery....

..

The artist, centre, and Caren's trans good mate Dana, with the mayor showing the Green Light for Carmen which is to be installed on Cuba Street at Vivian intersection probably.
